When doubt sets in

[Kyonovice]

After taking a break (again) from training recently due to a few reasons (self doubt - feeling I don't have the physical ability to train in the style, time issues, needing to take a "restock" of my work life balance among them), I am delighted to have contacted my Shihan last night and will be returning to the club on Monday evening with a completely new and fresh outlook on it all.

So, yes sometimes a break is indeed needed.

While planing life happens.

Much of martial arts has it's theory sides or wisdom aspects. Folklores and traditions, all very interesting.

Ma is not just 100% physical training.

Working and training is very much a balancing act.

When not able to spend the time for training, reflect!

Some studying on how muscles and bones operates (body mechanics) is interesting also.

Much about martial arts is about quality not quantity. Doing a technique 1000 times the wrong way will do you no good at all. Doing a technique a few times perfectly is what you should be aiming for; takes less of your valuable time also.

All the best on your training
