Thanks for the training last night, got up this morning with pains in places I didn't even knew existed. I know I cocked up a lot on delivering the allmighty IPPON, but it brought home how easy it is to stay in your "comfort zone" instead of biting the bullet and stretching for the next level. I wonder how many of our karatekas believe that they are training to their potential unknowing that the next step is maybe just a specific choice of partner away?
