For those who attended last Thursdays class, some after thoughts...
By going through all the katas it allows you to demonstrate to yourself where you sit on your journey with your training, showing your strengths and weakness.
For your strengths, pat yourself on the back, well done, you've come this far.
For your weaknesses, now is the time to focus upon them so you can turn them into strengths.
Kata is a great window into not only being able to practise many techniques but to demonstrate an overview as to where your abilities lie in your training, your martial art journey - your "way on your path". Remember, Kyushindo - to seek the perfect way...
We all continue to develop skills with our training, at EVERY grade level and sometimes it is good to pause, reflect, and to congratulate oneself on where you are. Not only the fact that you are still going - but to remind yourself that (hopefully) you are still enjoying your training! Have a lovely weekend, Tim
