i've done a fair amount of teaching of martial arts over
the years.  one of the challenges, as well as the rewards,
is figuring out how to make a student "get it" when explaining
something difficult (or just difficult for them).  you try to demonstrate,
you try to explain different ways, you try different analogies...
nothing.  but then you hit on a different explanation, or analogy,
or demonstration, or whatever.  and bing!  you can *see* the 
lightbulb go on when they get it.  very rewarding.
