We all engage differently with students. Some are more serious while others are more goofy. Some are chatty and others are more silent and interact with their body.
It is awesome to see the interaction different black belt have with students in open training - like sihing Timchuck working with some of the young dragons. Or Sidai Csillag S who spent 40 minutes with a kid from the Lil Leopard program.
When we are trying to go deeper and understand what we are doing, we typically slow down so we can examine what we do. Or we ask someone else to slow down when they show us something.
It is ok to slow down as long as we understand the pace of which our move should be in eventually. So slowing down to figure it out and the implementing the step in its normal speed incorporating what we learned when we slowed down.
Especially when told to work on flow, we slow down. But our intention should be to get back to normal speed and continue working on the flow.
