Absorbing what is useful

[NHBMARK1]

Hey again,
How does one determine how to absorb what is useful.

[gungfuhero]

1.) can you consistantly execute it correctly and successfully?

2.) Does it occur in frequent situations (not for an overy specialized senario ie: knocking people off horses and the like)?

3.) Is it efficient-simple and direct?

That is my take on it anyway.
