two bulls
« on: June 15, 2010, 08:00:48 AM »
 :) before I even start writing i've decided to put a smile on, why not. enjoyed last nights training but as always ended up as a collosal bull in the kumite session, I doubt i'll ever figure out this too strong business or relax or less is more or any infinite number of do's and don't that make karate what it is, so i've decided (no i'm not stopping) I am what I am 42 years of being big will not change over night so just enjoy every session as I do, if things change good but if I stick to as I am for the next few years well thats ok too. I've made great friends within the club, they know how I am and maybe by me accepting where I am at the moment instead of trying so hard to be the karateka I think I should be then this relax business might just click.

Excellent post Arwel..

Remember the joke about the Old bull and the Young bull ?

Young Bull - Hey look at all those cows in that massive herd down there..let's run down the hill and serve a couple of them?

Old Bull - No ! Let's walk and serve ALL of them.

I know it's SO SO frustrating when you desperately want to be able to do something but your body won't do it and you end up getting angry with yourself and everyone around you!Then you watch the Dan Grades doing something and you just think WAW how do they do that?But just keep trying. Look at Kawasoe on Friday night, he performs his techniques so efficiently and so relaxed, everyone in the room will be captivated, and everyone wants to be like him. But how many people actually end up being like him and reaching his level? Probably not many people. As you say you might never be perfect but just aim to be as perfect as you can be, at least if you keep on trying you'll keep on getting closer and closer to where you want to be even if you never reach the exact place, if that makes sense  :?

Arwel...
Do you remember how you were as a white belt?
Are there lower grades that you help and coach?
Can you see faults in lower grades and offer advice?

Look how far you have come!

You have to realise what a "Young bull" you are...
I started training in 1973 !
How old were you then ?
