Monthly Message: May 2003
Fellow Karate-ka:
This has been a very busy month for me
personally. Trying to balance the instruction that I give to you my
students and increasing my personal training for an upcoming test has
been hard to say the least. I have been able to do it though.
You may ask how with all of the things that I have going on. The answer
is simply prioritizing my activities. For instance this monthly message
is coming to you halfway through the month instead of the beginning.
Since we constantly see each other and there is a large amount of
material on our web site, I have been able to put this off a little
longer so that I can concentrate on other martial things that are needed
for our site.
Another shift for me was to add some of my practice techniques to your
training. This benefits you and me. Basics are the most important, and
we've been doing lots of them in the last month!
Delegation of duties to others like my assistant instructors has allowed
me to practice more while you are being warmed up for training by them.
Also performing all of my kata in front of you allows me to train.
You'll notice that I've been doing a lot of this lately.
Every spare minute of every day that I have is spent doing some kind of
karate technique. Knowing material fluently in ones' mind is just as
important as executing it. Having 10 minutes of time means performing a
kata several times. I do not waste my time.
So as my test approaches I have devised ways to take other things “off
my plate” by the ways described above but I have also devised ways to
utilize my time more efficiently. I wonder how many of you think of
things like this to help you train better?
This is the way.
Sensei Dave
