One thing that is essential in your practicing of Martial Science is that you continually work on your own skill development. Technical training is essential in that you need to constantly look at how your are doing certain techniques, training, etc. and slowly introduce different factors that will enhance your skill set. This is a never ending journey and if you think you have arrived then you need to reevaluate your training and refocus on improving your skill sets. Every practitioner needs to work on technical skill development as it is a never ending task. When training with a teacher you will generally be shown little things to improve your skill set. Take those little things to heart and you will make progress. Maybe after class write down quickly the little details so that you remember how to enhance your skill set training in the future. As a teacher/Guro/instructor or whatever name you wish to call it I regularly when teaching will do something just to work my skill set. Say I am working a certain drill or technique with another practitioner I might do something slightly different just for myself. I might then stop and explain what I did and then back we go to the training. So even if you are teaching you can work in variations on skill sets just for you and guess what everyone benefits! When training with various instructors that I bring in for seminars I am constantly on the lookout for the little details that they use to be successful. Usually I find something that really piques my interest and then I practice it and add the skill. Your training is a never ending journey of practicing different skill sets and improving your technique. Never stop and always know that you can improve and learn!
See You On The Mats!
