Once the opponent is down on the ground, the referee stops the fight and he is helped back up so the fight can resume. One of the basic rules in this sport is the fight does not stay continued.

He explains a lot about 'hidden knowledge' of the Yang family Tai Chi Chuan. As for the teaching part i must say something - i repeat and repeat and repeat to my students some info until they got it in their head. After hard and long practice they should recognise the input that i have given them and then work further. If not, then again repeat, repeat until they can get the full info and understand it intellectually. Eventually, their bodies can understand it too :) Nothing hidden - every principle is out there - you need a good teacher to explain it and you have to study twice as hard to understand it. All best from Serbia. Sasa Hi,

Secrets hidden by lack of knowledge is a great way to look at this too. ;-) John David,

The people graduating from basic had to know basic army skills plus learn the complex equipment. There was just not enough time to learn everything during basic training. The military conducted a study to see how to make training more productive. The most important concept that came out of the study: one has to tell a male, between the ages of 18 and 24, something 7 times before he hears it. This does not mean it is understood, just that he has heard the information. I do not think that there are secrets. It is just that we are not hearing what is being told to us. Of couse, often times the instructor never learned much more than the form. Anything that he did not learn would become a secret. David The military went high tech in the late 1980’s.

I guess it's like a university student explaining an advanced principle of physics to a primary school student that's still getting his head around the ABC's. :) Hi Lyman,
