Start with an empty cup ...
A student went to visit a Zen master. While the master quietly served tea, the student talked about Zen. The master poured the student's cup to the brim, and then kept pouring. The student watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself. "It's full! No more will go in!" the student blurted. "This is you," the master replied, "How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast ...
When you first learn a new technique, practice it slowly. It's better to carefully learn the correct form, than make training scars trying to go as fast as you can. You will find speed comes naturally with more repetitions.
Crawl, walk, run ...
