Words and concepts get thrown at you like spaghetti to a wall. Sometimes it sticks to the wall, but sometimes it takes a long time for anything to. Sometimes even the spaghetti already on the wall gets knocked off by more spaghetti and you need to relearn what have previously.
This week we were explained concepts that I thought I had a good grasp on, only to find out I just scratched the surface. As exciting as this is, it is a little discouraging. I thought I knew what I was doing, but honestly never really had to think about how I am doing what I am doing. This is the double edged sword of being naturally adept at some things. I am going through everything I know and analyzing every minute part, to come up with some sort of rationality to why I move the way I do in my kung fu, what the logic is.
This will be a long process, but is that not what preparing for grading is for? To analyze what you know, what kind of martial artist you are?
