New Sparring session ... New experiences

[sensei8]

If sparring tends to unnerve a student, that's to be understood. The way to overcome said anxieties is simple...the more one spars, the more one learns about themselves! More one learns, the more one understands.

I, too, use to fear kumite, but over time, that fear was replaced with an acquired sense of confidence. I've Dai-Soke to thank for that because of the way he was able to challenge his students, no matter the rank.
