| Beudant: Calmness |
|
"It is calmness, calmness and nothing else, which converts disordered jerky gaits into smooth, flowing ones. Here is one very important phase of training in which there must be no struggle. A teacher must first get the confidence of his pupil, then evince kindness, gentleness and a will that though calm is inflexible. This is the immutable and sovereign law of teaching, whether the pupil be man or beast.
To others more skillful, I leave the doctrine of violence. I have not the strength to practice even if I wished."
Captain Beudant
