sensei8 Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 If you had 3 months to devote to one thing...What would it be?Remember, this question is MA related...thanks. **Proof is on the floor!!!
Wastelander Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Does "Naihanchi application" count as one thing? I would love to spend 3 months just breaking down Naihanchi, and drilling its applications until they become engrained in my muscle memory.

Lupin1 Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Is footwork one thing? Stepping, shifting weight, turning, feeling the flow as I move, balance, and keeping myself solidly rooted while still nimble and ready to quickly move in any direction. I could easily spend 3 months working on just that. If that's too broad, I could even spend all that time just working on seisan stance and stepping in seisan stance. Forget all the other stances.
Zaine Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 I think that I would devote it to re-learning and mastering Chinto. I might not master it in three months but I would certainly be well on the way to. Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/
bushido_man96 Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 I would spend 3 months on drilling and picking out forms applications, figuring out the process and working things over and over again. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
evergrey Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Relaxing! Haha. In training, in sparring. http://kyokushinchick.blogspot.com/"If you can fatally judo-chop a bull, you can sit however you want." -MasterPain, on why Mas Oyama had Kyokushin karateka sit in seiza with their clenched fists on their thighs.
tallgeese Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 Great question! I think I'd take my three months to devote to something I haven't done before. Get a full on, every night total immersion in something I haven't explored before. Something with minimal real combat application at any level that I could just experience as an art. Iaido probably. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww
Harkon72 Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 I would take a training Holiday in Russia, in a Sombo training school. Look to the far mountain and see all.
Harlan Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 I'd take a course in basic, conversational Japanese with an associated calligraphy component. Leaves fall.
DWx Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 My side kick. Everything about it and everything that contributes to a great kick including flexibility, speed, balance. I'd want to work towards being able to throw it from anywhere, be able to set it up and then deliver a knockout kick. "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius
