Do First, Understand Later

Understanding is what us newbies want. Whenever I find that I am using the little idea to do something I want to understand so I can do it again!
Sifu categorically states that you cant do it this way. Normally with a laugh too.

Just like when you are trying to do it and not succeeding you think, "What am I doing wrong,"  inevitably brings the big idea back and stops the little idea even more! The same happens when you try to understand. As sifu often says, understanding is a big idea thing.

I have to tell myself not to worry about it as I always want to know!

Do it first and understand what you did later.
