Hello and welcome to my Blog – Diary of a Kung Fu San Soo Black Belt. Today, I would like to talk about a tendency we have as people and how it relates to martial arts. In my training over the years, I have found the best tools for my bodies’ natural movements and worked hard on them for use to defend myself .
In Kung Fu San Soo, we learn thousands of techniques and lessons over time (high black belt level) that can be blended instantly into an attack (preferably) or a defense. As I have trained over time I have gravitated toward the lessons and techniques that have felt most comfortable for my own natural abilities. This is human nature, taking the path to least resistance ………. THIS IS BECOMING A SPECIALIST!
Once I actually, fully, incorporated that thought into my reality I began to go back into those “other” lessons and techniques that I had a hard time with and take a good look at them. I started to work on them, and take them apart, and adapt them into my current fighting personality. It was an awesome revelation and brought my motivation to learn and teach San Soo to an even higher level. I started to do this with my students as well and immediately noticed better skills and more self-confidence from them.
Don’t get me wrong, because when you are first starting out in martial arts, you need to know the basic fundamentals and principles of the art you are training in before you should try this and that takes time! As you develop a “Comfortable Style” over time you will come to know when to begin to step out of your comfort zone and bring in new things. It will re-awaken your world ……………
Happy Training!
Tony
