What most people do tho, is simply giving up because learning that stuff seems impossible.
"until one day, you're good!".. and don't have to think about your moves.
Form to leave form.
It's kind of a complex idea. You learn form, to leave form.
for example, in anything, and I mean, this philosophy can be applied to anything:
You learn the basics, and you get them really imprinted.. so you don't have to think about them, your subconscious does that automatically.
Form, to leave form.
Applies nicely to Toribash as well. You have to understand everything, but not too quickly. You have to learn to interconnect the information.
Then when you are truly good, and in a state of flow (no wapow pun intended), which is basically what most people describe as "The Zone", your subconscious does most of the boring work, so you can look at the bigger picture.
All of this is written in Josh Waitzkin's 'The Art of Learning'. The guy is a legend, really. He went from a chess prodigy, to the Tai Chi Push Hands World Champion, and the guy's smart enough to break down how his mind processes, which, at a professional level.. it's extremely hard to do.
It's a great read, man. Really detailed and you can't understand all of it in one read.
