Jotunn & oedipulogia  (now there’s a “complex” moniker ):  

re  documenting and giving out data. You guys mentioned it, but [besides of course keeping some battle tricks to one’s self] Blaise knows that you could spell it out in detail and all its glory, and without someone putting in the hard work, training and dedication that goes along with it, these are merely just techniques, just movements that won’t mean shit or will probably get you hurt. There are already a bazillion tapes, disks, youtubes etc out there already…. ‘bout every known “technique” has been put on vid & sold. But everyone is not proficient at all this info, are they?

I also think that is why Blaise has always referred to his instructionals as “Visual Notes”; they were always meant as a reference log of fundamentals of his systems to be used by people trained under him or under his guys as to not stray too far. And to document, “THIS IS HOW I TAUGHT IT.” The “tricks” to make them work and “secrets” of the techs develop from training it into the ground.

I don’t mean to speak for cestus, but this is my perception.
