sensei8 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Some solid advice thus far!! If I may add...Stretch before training!! Balance is lost by beginners because they've not stretched properly before training. Rushing said kick, is another reason why balance is lost. Rushing not as a whole, but at each and every segment of said kick. There's more than 4 counts to a kick whenever it's examined beyond the taught 4 counts, and in them, balance is sacrificed for the good of how "it looks", and not how effective its end results are.Chair drills, balance bar drills, and even swimming pool drills are important, but no drill will replace vibrant training that's seeking out to execute said kick properly AS THE INSTRUCTOR HAS TAUGHT!! Going off on their own is another reason balance is lost, especially by the beginning students.Be aware of what's incorrect, but not so much that other aspects are suffering in the long run; can't see the forest because of the tree(s).Unchecked posture and stance work gravely affects balance in all MAists, and not just the beginner. If one thing is tilted to the wrong side, then the structure is damaged, and said kick is nothing more than a bad push, imho. **Proof is on the floor!!!
