I often take the white belt class on Tuesday nights, not to teach, but to try out ideas and concepts that I'm working on for my own personal development inside the relative comfort of exercises I've done before countless times. I don't have to focus on the raw mechanics of the exercise, leaving me free to work on the newer ideas and material within the "basics". We're never "done" with a piece of material. There's always more to see if we're ready to look for it. As someone entering year 17 of training, I find that even the “basics” have new lessons to teach me.

I read through it 3xs so far and found different meanings each time. Since I'm a White Belt, the first couple of times I go through the process of learning something new, it's always in the back of my mind "Did I get this right"? Then I go home and practice and I think, "Did I forget to pivot back?", "Did I raise my arm that time?", "Why doesn't this seem to be working the way it did in class?". I'm glad our instructors do come back to the same material. I get a chance to correct, ask or see the How and Why. Thanks for putting this information up.
