…..The other night I went out to my backyard and performed a thousand cuts or at least what I believe to be a thousand.  You see after a while the counting stops and the blending in and performance begins.  You lose yourself in the movement and become one with what you are doing!  Repetition is one of the key’s to success in the martial sciences.  You have to really train your skills sets, understand the movement, have faith in what you do and of course let go.  All of this is important to your success as a martial practitioner but you will not be successful unless you practice with an eye toward perfection of technique.  Sloppy practice will result in sloppy technique so perfect practice does indeed make for perfection. (or at least that is our goal)  So I cut and cut and cut with a simple downward cut utilizing the palm up/palm down method in IRT from the Angled Upward Position until eventually I let go and lost myself in the movement.  This is essential practice for the serious martial practitioner.  Repetition is your ally provided you train with an eye toward perfect practice!  Always remember that!

See You On The Mats!
