I like what you said about the plateau and how the learning process works. It's so true that we see those sudden jumps only after a long time being "the same." Too many people say the same thing, that things start to click and come together. Your brain is always working, even if you can't sense it at the time.

Oh snap. I've been a member of a dojo for over 2 years now, and for the first year and a half was attending every single day every class I could, working out and learning and practicing etc. Then I hit the wall- I knew most of the drills that we were going to be doing, I knew what I was good and bad at, and I reasonably knew my limits and abilities, so I got bored. When I was bored attendance dropped dramatically. Tonight was the first night of me coming in in well over 3 months, and I learned how much my body had degraded in the time away: technique was still there, but the cardiovascular fitness to keep my breath and stay active for longer just wasn't there at all. This video helped out amazingly with point number 5. I think it may be a while before I stop attending again.

I especially love the short: "sometimes you might think you're actually getting worse," because it's so true and yet rarely mentioned. The fact is, there are a lot of reasons why you sometimes think that you are getting worse, but it's rarely true. It could be some skewed type of nostalgia, depression, or simply the fact that some people got better, i.e. had the plateau jump at a different time than you. Consistency, sparring, and open-mindedness towards other techniques make sure that you aren't actually getting worse, so as long as you keep going to the gym/dojo, everything will be fine. :)

I’ve been a Wadoryu student for 10 years and progressed to 1st Kyu. It’s changed my life for the better and want to try for Dan Grade this year but I’m really tall and muscular. My Sensei tells me I need to move faster and be sharper, but it feels impossible for me. Even my fastest moves are slower than dan Grade standard....any advice?

@AndoMierzwa

6 жыл бұрын

Hi Paul! Just saw this. You've been progressing for 10 years and NOW you're suddenly not good enough to advance? Or have you gotten slower recently? Of course, I haven't seen you move and I don't know your teacher, so it's not for me to judge. But I will point out that Karate is more than a belt. You train to better yourself and your skills. As long as you're doing that, forget the belt. Especially if it's impossible for you to satisfy your teacher! Just train!
