CredoTe Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 First off, welcome to KF! Glad you're making us part of your journey. As everyone mentioned, yes, it is normal to feel "like an Octopus trying to dance at a disco" (great analogy, BTW ) or like a fish trying to walk the beach.Practice your moves slowly, at first, to gain coordination, control, technique, targeting, etc. Speed and power will come in good time. Remember the Tii!In Life and Death, there is no tap-out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesefrysamurai Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Welcome!They said it all. When i first started i was the same way. I didn't understand how it would ever come together. It didn't seem to make sense. After a lot of practice, things seems to start to come together. The progress in karate, whether kihon, or kata comes from repetition and internalizing, not only the movement, but the rhythm and power of the movements. A type of focus develops which i couldnt have understood beforegood luck Nothing Worth Having Is Easily Obtained - ESPECIALLY RANK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
