aefibird Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 Keeping a notebook/journal is a great idea. I started one after I'd been doing karate for about a year and I was amazed by how much it helped my progress. People might think that they'd remember what their instructor says, but often they don't remember everything. A notebook is helpful in keeping track your progress too. Actually, I haven't written much in mine for the last month or so...I'll have to dig it out again and get writing! "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

Drunken Monkey Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 i have a little wad of scrap paper where i have all of the wing chun terms in chinese. my sifu gave me the dummy form written in chinese and told me to decipher it. he then had me 'perform' what i thought the form was supposed to look like. i also have my knife form in little drawings with notes for my own use but unfortunately, i can't really decipher what i meant when i drew/wrote it down.... occasionally, i like to write down the things that we used to do; every single drill and excercise. this acted as a reminder and a good way of making a training/refreshment list. for a start, it always seems to remind me of a type of punching drill that i haven't done for a long time. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
