andym Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Is it better to concentrate more on the basics that I have in my white belt syllabus for grading and try to improve and fine tune my techniques in it or is it better to ask a BB friend to teach me the more advanced stuff (punches, kicks, blocks, ....etc).My advice, stick with the basics and work on them. The belt syllabus is there to add techniques to your training, as you go through it. Nothing wrong with learning more advanced techniques, but at this very early stage, I would advise against. If you believe in an ideal. You don't own it ; it owns you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesefrysamurai Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Safroot, just chill out - progress is really slow, its like that for anyone. Be patient, do what your sensei says, practice on your own as much as you can, and let the pieces fall into place. IMHO patience is essential to longevity. Your doing all you can which is more then MOSTIf it was easy, everyone would do it. you've chosen a challenged path. Now walk it.Trust your Sensei, if hes happy with your progress, keep working!
