Experimentation with language

Somewhere in conversation here we've mentioned where communication can be an issue or where it is of no bearing. Language of the arts is by the body not words.

I've seen this a few times, obviously in Japan where if you don't speak Japanese it can get lost in translation. The technique may resemble what is being taught, but not complete. As time goes on you pay less attention to what is being said and more what is being done.



In my dojo, we did this as an example with a member who was French, of which no one else spoke. To add we covered his hands with socks. He taught a 4 hr seminar in French. Awesome, as time went on the technique as they were taught were so much better.



Just wondering if anyone had challenged their classes this way.



It will also lead into another discussion about the Ten Chi Jin.
