The ‘Practice Karate’ Blog

I lost something during my martial arts hiatus a few years ago. Of all the skills that were there that first night back, the most important one had faded.
(I was just getting a handle on it after ten years of training, maybe that’s why it was a distant memory to my muscles, post-break.)
The two Japanese styles I first learned do a pretty good job of teaching the skill, but my present Korean-style organization doesn’t pass it on well. Well heck, they don’t pass it on at all.
So I’ve been lost as to how to get it back on my own.
UNTIL NOW!
Showed up for a regional black belt training session last spring. Nice day, good to see friends. A new lady was introduced to lead warm-ups, and … thirty seconds later …
… I had discovered the key to redeveloping my lost skill!

• stronger stances
• more powerful punches
• rock-solid blocks
• devastating kicks, especially multiple kicks
• precise weapons performance

No, this isn’t me yet. The poor skill has been neglected and undernourished but I’m passionately nursing it back to health. And I know the improving ‘patient’ has already sharpened my martial arts skill level the last couple of weeks.
So Yes, I’m getting there. And you can learn with me.
(Fact #1: It doesn’t matter what style of martial arts you train, this will help you immensely.)
(Fact #2: It doesn’t even matter what sport you play.)
