Shuhari describes the stages of learning to mastery.

  • Shu: Learn the rules and the forms—follow the rules.
  • Ha: Innovate on the craft—break the rules.
  • Ri: Discard the rules and operate from innate mastery—make the rules.

This concept comes from Japanese martial arts, but is often abstracted for use in agile learning cycles.rS3
