I was practicing my kicks for the fitness test on Saturday. My goal was to get a '10' on as many as I could. This is something I have been practicing for months now and have been making progress, but yesterday was an off day. I was making the numbers I wanted to, but I was beginning to lose the technique behind it.
I was so focused on getting the number at any cost that the cost presented itself plainly, lousy quality. I reflected on this after my kicks. It would be better to slow down and get the quality in. It makes no sense to get in 28 spinning back kicks if only 18 of them would be counted. I did one more round of spinning back kicks with this intent in the forefront, I managed to get in 26 and the feel and quality of them were were vastly improved.
Quality over quantity, this is what I will be working on over the next month and a half. Get that solid technique in, then speed it up, then repeat.
