Speaking as student in kung fu of 10 years and a teacher for 5, I can say this does happen, and it does work. When sparring, I had several instructors find a weakness in me, and exploit that weakness until it went way.

They never abused me, but as a hotshot 17 year old, was humbling to have my ass handed to me by an overweight, half blind 50 year old man.

I would say that's a result of practice, rather than enlightenment.

Depends on the situation. Often, you aren't aware of the flaws until the teacher points them out, and sometimes insight comes very quickly.
