One thing though, why did your teacher not just explain? So you would have a fair chance of understanding and things would be much clearer, much sooner?
Aah he was testing you maybe, if you are of the koryu wood variety or not.
Those who are not will not progress or will stop training.
Might that be something koryu could adapt? As in adapting teaching methods?
To anohter time, society, brand of students? I am warning you it is probably me just not understanding what it means to train in koryu, etc.
Happy landings,

As other have said, a beginner will probably not understand. I have seen it happen when someone try to explain a beginner to early. Much better to work on feel for some time than go in to a more deep explanation. If the person keeps coming to training he will eventually not look so awkward.
