Caution: Drowning Hazard

All creation begins with the spark of conception. The difficulty lies in taking the concept into a tangible reality. The more complex the concept, the more difficult this transition becomes. Along the way the concept can get bogged down and the functional end goal may become lost. In martial arts, all techniques and principles must be dealt with in the context of how they can be functionally applied. Study in the theory and idea, and then test it in practical application. The abstract nature of the conceptual system is like a lake connecting two shores. If one loses sight of the destination, the waters may become overwhelming and result in drowning in the concept.
