Re: Talk or not to talk?
My experience both as student and teacher is that a certain amount of verbalisation is implied and needed, but the real challenge is to focus people on experiencing the waza rather trying to just talk through it.
Lecturing, over-stating even proselytising can put students off-side, and it would be something I would personally try to avoid.
Having said that, I believe that sometimes talking through a technique or having to explain it in details allows you to crystalise the technique in your own mind whilst giving your students/dojo mates another perspective of the technique.
