Warriors mastering warcraft will not frequently enough ask "Why?" they do a thing in the specific method. They don't test the framework, technique, notion, whatever. They are merely provided some data right from their teacher and accept being truth.
There's nothing wrong having believing your trainer, actually you should. And you ought to most definitely regard these individuals along with their schooling. However, the process these folks were taught is not always the very best for some particular scenario, or maybe he or she have misunderstood their own teaching… or maybe it is actually you who has been confused. This is why it's essential to actually question.
Through Asking yourself "why do that at this point?" or maybe "why doe this work under these circumstances" you are making that idea your very own. Test it, would it really work? What if ever the situation happens to be a bit changed, does it still work? No? Well is there some small realignment you possibly can make to be able to take care of each situations economically?
This dialogue is arising out of my study in Wing Chun. In the old time, pupils studied via their master, would do what they were told and didn't make inquiries. In truth an individual were being lucky when the master even truly talked to you unless you happen to be a personal pupil (versus a member of a group of students inside a school like setting). Then since these students journeyed away independently many people altered things sometimes simply by practical experience, laxness, false impression, time, really numerous things.
These kinds of alterations tend to be part of what result in variations in lineages. Lineages is really a entirely other subject i may discuss in a later post.
The truth is, people still are not appearing to inquire how or exactly why something works or does not work. They simply say, "this is how it is usually done in our lineage". Well does that mean it's effective? It could be "right" as a result of convention, but could it be EFFECTIVE?
My point here is actually that you must always question the strength of any structure, idea or technique . Otherwise, then you may just be living or more serious, fighting with regard to your life, in an illusion.

Developing Skills of Warcraft takes time
Whether you are developing your skills for a game like World of Warcraft or you are honing your warrior martial skills, repetition is the key. This is how we learn both mentally and physically. There are those you can see or hear something one time and retain it for years, and there are those that can do something one time and be able to replicate the action easily. However this is not the norm. most people take thousands of repetitions to begin to make an action or thought come naturally.
This means focus, consistency, and dedication to practice. Most education is build upon a leveling hierarchy. Even games like World of Warcraft have requirements through which you must gain skill to move up levels. It is the same in weaponry or any martial arts. It is true, some things have more critical and complex levels in which it may take longer to excel. But they are levels none the less.
I have been studying the first major form in Wing Chun Kung Fu for a while know. And I will probably do a post solely on this topic, however today I want to discuss levels of education and will just briefly touch on this as an example. In Wing Chun there are several levels of learning. The first being form. Basically you learn the action of doing something. What shape does it have, what are the next steps in the sequence, etc. Later you get a better understanding and search out meaning. These are the two first steps in any education.
Think about when you were a kid and were learning how to write. You learn the alphabet song, usually sung to the music of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, in order to learn the names (for lack of a better word) of each letter. Later you begin to learn the pen strokes of how to write that letter and you learn the sounds that each character makes. Eventually you being to put those sounds together to form (and read) words. Now you can match up concept with form. You are learning the meaning. Ah, but this is only the beginning. The meaning can have even more depth to it. Think of poetry or the philosophical writing of people like Sartre or Kant. There is more meaning behind something that just the obvious. This is seen in something as simple as a pun- a play on words.
This is why learning things like game strategy (for things like World of Warcraft or Call of Duty and chess), or martial skills take so much time to really absorb. At first you may easily learn the "form" of something but to learn meaning takes time. And then to understand that meaning in a more advanced way takes even longer. You must make it a part of you. Action becomes unthinking but not thoughtless.

Welcome to Guide to Warcraft
Warcraft is a very broad topic for me. I enjoy the science of martial study dealing with weaponry, hand to hand combat and yes even virtual battles like you find in Halo, Tour of Duty, Spec Ops, and World of Warcraft.
This blog with be a repository for all things warcraft that have some relevance to what I am reading, studying, physically performing or what ever.
I am sure that sometimes it will see completely random while other times you may see my line of thinking. I study on many lines all at once trying to keep a broader structure or course of intent.
Comments are welcome, however I will not tolerate trolls- the talking smak kind not the World of Warcraft kind! Actually I look forward to some discussion and other's points of view.
I hope you look forward to learning something new whether it be Kung Fu, World of Warcraft talent trees, ancient sword makers or physical fitness training.
So with this I conclude the first post on my new Guide to Warcraft blog. I look forward to seeing you soon.
