Parody

There is a serious danger in showing advanced material to a beginner.

At best, they will not see or understand what you are doing. At worst, they will parody your body mechanics, perhaps undermining their basic training completely.

A beginner lacks the necessary physical experience to replicate more advanced material and can only reasonably relate it to what they already know. Their attempt is apt to miss the detail and further hamper progress.

The outcome is the product of the means, the process. If you try to jump to the end without the means to accomplish the result, you can only have an external copy, lacking the real substance required.

All things come in time, and seeing slightly ahead is fine – it gives people something to think about. Too far ahead, and they loose sight of the immediate.
