Coordination of things should be at the core and foundation. From bottom to top, left to right, up to down, down to up, right to left, top to bottom... Rotational Torque, Push/Pull, Rise/Fall, Fall/Rise, and various combinations there-of.
Never seek to memorize beyond the point of its' usefulness, and never apply usefulness where rigid conformity is mandated and fluidity/adaptability are sacrificed as the price.
There are no movement basics that draw upon stances or body positions. Fixed positions don't exist, no technique exists, no Kata exists, the only Kihon is in the true motion, without the true motion, endless, unconfined, unnamed, there is no real practical reason to study anything... Unless one seeks to be trained in conformity and have their mind and spirit molded, rather than discovering it for themselves.
Do not care for an 'us' versus 'them' based on trivial differences and always seek to understand the reason... Those differences will be brought to light and shown to be just as valid as any other... IF they are within the bounds of true dynamic motion and mechanics.
Seek to understand the box in order to break free of the box to which you have been confined. Not only to free yourself and rediscover yourself, but to continually mold yourself through each fire as the fire is presented... Grounded in sound mind and cool spirit.
