Knowledge is TP

[Defiant]

Now I'm about to start some training, but I want to know from NOW and not while I'm training.

So would learning the mechanics of something count as training? Training is learning, and thus learning how it works SHOULD count as training.

Especially when some shit is just to dangerous to just jump into.

Example: Learning what a certain genjutsu does to a mind, how the mind works and then how it changes. For high ranking genjutsu, you don't want to just try that shit on someone, so learning it that way is probably safer.

Example: The eighth motherf***ing gate. I don't even need to say anymore about that.

So what do you all say? More than one answer is appreciated, and people who can grade would be even better.

Personally, I sometimes train like the bolded part when I learned a genjutsu. I learned the technique, so my answer is yes. Just my own opinion.

Some of the time for certain Doton techniques I would just meditate and try and get in contact with the earth for a while.

Point being, yes. Studying a technique or preparing for it is something I do give TP to - don't know about other staff, but I know I do.

So if I had a Sensei explaining to me how a technique was to be performed and it's uses in combat, would that also count toward training?

^I would imagine you have to actually practice it once or twice, at least. Like, learning a D Rank by studying would be stupid. I think if you're gonna try and write a post or two with just studying and understanding the technique it should be at least B. C if you're D Ranked.

Knowledge is TP.

Coal had a character learn the gates through dream states. He learned the stuff you needed to handle the gates beforehand, but after that he did this philosophical thing.

You guys are so silly, don't you know you can’t learn things from listening; having someone telling you how to do something doesn’t help you get better. Everything must be trial and error, so to get 8th gate you can’t just learn about it you have to use to repeatedly.

.... But keep in mind everyone that even though out of the three learning types (Visual, Auditory, and Kinaesthetic) because everybody knows all the research about the other two types is just fake . There is an important thing to keep in mind, learning the hand seals for the tech your learning doesn't count as training. You know why??? Because you already know them, must have learned them all at school. [red]So the moral of the story is going to snow, for the world’s best ninja school.[/red]

On a minor note I’m considering taking [red]Steven Heller & Terry Steele[/red] to court for spreading the lies that approximately 20% of the world is auditory learners.

As can be clear from my enlighten lesson with ayame apparently using the [red]'Fleming's VAK/VARK model'[/red] is wrong and that seeing as its one of the most common and widely-used systems in the world it would appear the world has it wrong as well. I even got taught this in school so it would appear the UK needs a change in curriculum as well.

Maybe you should publish your ground breaking research, because it looks like you would make loads of money.

Is it just me, or would that be considered a little dangerous?

^ LOL

You cant use the 8th gate at all, ever. Well, you can use it once. ONCE.

Then your heart explodes and your lungs cease to function and you die. And your brain takes over for a while. Like some sort of short-duration super saiyan zombie-thing. Because everything is better with zombies.

But in answer to the original question - I have given out tp for lecture-format training as long as actual attempts were made, and have even recieved +10s for purely quotational training posts. Master says how something is done, and then corrects you, implying that you did stuff, for example. It's how i learned most of my Burodeno Kenseijin TP.

So a cautious pseudo-yes. Knowledge is power, but power is useless if you can't use it.
