Yep, I am calling your concept of learning ridiculous.
Sure I could throw a punch. I could watch it, I could learn to do it better. But without someone telling me which parts are wrong, how do I improve correctly?
Maybe I think 'X' looks and feels awesome, so I never try and fix 'X', when in fact 'X' is wrong. A good teacher can tell you that 'X' is wrong, you need to do 'Y'.
To illustrate, a quote from Espi's training log on olympic lifts:
My new trainer thought differently and after just 1 week got me to do just those 2 lifts: (hang) cleans and (hang) snatches.
Shock #1 : all those hang cleans I thought to be doing 'right' were dead wrong.
She thought she was doing stuff right, no self evaluation is going to have you fix something you already think is correct.
So I guess you can think what you like, but there is a LOT of people saying the same thing from all different backgrounds, maybe it has some merit.
As for the cold. It makes us strong.
