Fourth Way: Some Assembly Required

If there is one phrase which explains the general method of teaching the Fourth Way it would be: "Some assembly required."

If you're a Fourth Way fan then you're sure to know the metaphorical story about buying good leather and making your own shoes. If you don't, the Fourth Way is the leather and the shoes are what you get from studying and practicing the Fourth Way.

It's similar to the way a Spanish textbook is the source material and your ability to understand and speak Spanish is what you get from that source material. It's like that, with one major exception: standard method in the Fourth Way is to shred the textbook and require that the student put the textbook back together.
