In training and rehearsal many if not most people mistake the choreography for the "fight". The choreography tells you what the "fight" should look like if all those involved apply the Principles and Actions correctly.
When what is being done is not the choreography then we should start to look at what has changed, most people start looking for what they have forgotten, as if the problem lays in memory and not application of skills/training.
It also needs to be remembered that there are those things that one does in rehearsal/training and what happens on stage. One prepares you for the other, one provides feed back on what has worked in training and what needs more attention. However the focus of performance, the "fight" that takes place on stage, is to tell the story not do the choreography. So in application the "fight" may not look or feel anything like the choreography.
