You say, "Recently I thought of this analogy, that a technique is like a car’s engine. There can be a lot of moving parts, but if only one of them screws up, the whole thing might fail. Things like precision and accuracy in timing and motion get honed by conscious repetition, paying attention to consistent efficiency. The payoff can mean success under stress."
I don't agree as you can be strong but not have technical finesse. On the other hand, just because I cannot wield a sword like another, does not mean I cannot kill you with it, ya?
An average house robbery will likely not have training in Krav Maga but will be able to figure out how to slit your throat.
Oh, and about the students who jump ahead, just tell them to save it for open mat time but they need to drill the technique first. It is a good reason to do it and only benefits them.
Good luck with that.
