Correction

Correction is essential in power and mastery. 

50,000 between me and a master. But it would not matter if I did 50,000 of the kicks the wrong way. There is a reason that we are taught to do a kick one way when we start off at a white belt and slight differences when we are a blue, brown or black. We are given the basic tools to start off, when we master that we are told corrections. Corrections that make the kick faster, stronger or more solid. The best example of this is the spinning back kick. There are so many components to that kick, where to start. It starts with the spin, the ability to do a 180 with out tripping over the two left feet. Start lifting your foot halfway there, and deliver the kick. Basics right?

Here is where the openess to correction comes in. Learning how to stop and deliver the kick straight out. Being able to rotate your body and hips at the last second or maintain the power of the kick. Blading the kick and making sure the toes are out of the way as not to break them. And Even doing 50,000 of doing it with those modifications, there is always room for improvement. There is always room for growth.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
