The strength of any single memory impression is based on a host of complex factors beyond simply mode of transmission. Even more critical is how much you already know about the subject and how many associations your mind makes with the given impression. Generally, the greater the number of associations, the higher the retention, i.e., the more you already know, the more new information you are able to remember. Others include the simplicity of the knowledge item, the frequency of review (direct and indirect), and so many others. This 80%, 70%, 60% stuff is just plain garbage.

Martial arts is one of those things that's highly "comprehensive learning (learning that's difficult to forget)" as teacher or student because as student (using the stats from this great article) you're EXPERIENCING it, which is 80%, and as teacher, that's just 15% more absorption. So teaching martial arts versus practicing it experientially....teaching it does "help you learn it more efficiently" but only by a small fraction moreso than experientially doing/practicing it.
