There is an "it" that "happens all the time". Dave Brescia, John Souza and I were hammering roof rafters into place, while standing on 2nd floor [floor] joists. I spoke up---"I LOVE this geometry". John returned, "There ain't no Geometry up here". I exploded, "THERE'S NOTHING BUT GEOMETRY UP HERE ---EACH RAFTER IS A LINE, EVERY CONNECTION AN ANGLE !!" Both MASTERS remained Silent----I shook my head in disbelief .
How did the NOT "Know" ??? !!!!
The thyng* is this : You can BE a Master and NOT `know` ANY Philosophy or Foundational Exactions*. 2 words : "IT" doesn't matter, the Proof of Capability resides in the Execution of Principles that DO NOT HAVE TO BE NAMED or even Understood . Certainly Carpentry 'involves' its own Physics and Geometry but these THESE need not be explainable --- "We" KNOW they Work . So it is True with Martial Arts as well . Another thyng is this, 'It' aint enough.
