This seems like dangerous advice -- the flip side of this auto-correct-by-experience coin is creating entrenched bad habits. As a common example, take posture: "Just stand up and walk around 5000 times and then ask me what correct posture is." Yet the majority of people have problematic posture, both when standing and when sitting, despite a lifetime of practice.
While there probably are examples where your martial arts teacher's advice makes sense, in my personal experience it seems wrong for most physical movements (walking, weight lifting technique, posture, dancing, etc).

- Detrus 12y agoMy personal experience as well. I squatted for years and the secrets of perfect form eluded me. I had anterior pelvic tilt. Certain muscles were tight, others underdeveloped and correcting the issue was very tricky. The advice may work for people who are generally physically active, as their muscles won't be out of balance from sitting.
