Picking up on a previous thread about helping beginners
I'm a little sad to say that I sincerely agree with Andy's sentiment.
For the following reason:
It seems that over the past few weeks/months, Ceroc teachers (certainly at Marcus Garvey) seem to be putting more emphasis 'tension', with out 1) any sort of clarification and 2) putting it in the context of being gentle with partner.
There seems to me to be two dangers:
a) That tension is interpreted as tension between partners, as opposed to internal (or body) tension, which I believe is a poor habit to learn, and
b) that emphasis on inter-body tension, if interpreted as such, is likely to lead onto injury, be it over the longer period, or the short term.
Is the teacher always right?
