I post them without comment but am happy to discuss.
2020 Iaijutsu Training Lessons
- Commit to the Way.
- Attention to detail is critical.
- Doing things correctly is more importantly than doing things quickly.
- Exaggeration of actions by making them bigger leads to clear visibility.
- Tear down your previous techniques and learn them again from the beginning to grow.
- Relaxation brings better technique.
- Keep the technique gentle until you have mastered it, then add power.
- To level up, you need to go to the source of the teaching.
- The Internet is not a teacher.
- Posture perfects technique.
- Focus on less, rather than more. Intensity and depth will produce the most significant results.
- Simple things are understood after performing them once. Difficult things must be done time and time again to be understood.
- Live every day in the day. Do not be rushing to be somewhere else.
- Every day a good day.
Excellent. For me number 6 is the big one right now. I'd developed a case of 'target panic' and it's the rottenest mental thing to kick, too. It's ended the career of professional archers and shooters... but I think I'm finally coming out of it. I'd argue that maybe concentration has to be in there too, somewhere...
ReplyDeleteGlen, I think concentration is (at some level) incorporated into most of these items. Without concentration (or focus, if you please) none of the others can be accomplished.
