Sure, the shape of the exercises is taught, just no the skills that go with them.
That is one of the things that confused me so much. I could go to 3 different dojo, and find 3 different sets of details for performing any one of these taiso. BUT...I found little to no understanding of the internal mechanics behind the taiso that would help explain why each of these dojo do them differently. I had no overall frame of reference to fit the differences into (I still don't have anywhere near as much of a framework as I would like).

Pole pole (slowly, slowly),
Best,
