I have been working for the past month on my 5th choregraphed technique which includes a flying arm bar. I have practiced this with multiple partners and until today, I have landed many times on my head or back. Each time the technique failed I would go back to the beginning watching videos and discuss the step-by-step specifics with others. Very slowly, and maybe a little concussed, I have been able to piece this together and now have the technique basics in place. Until today, I was at a point of giving up and moving on to a different technique. Just this morning I was able to successfully comlete the techniques with Mr. Young and he deserves much credit as we have been working on this for some time.
Here is my learning;
Never give up on something that is important to you.
Seek the advice of others.
Walk through the specifics many times with your partner before trying physically.
The path to success will include many obstacles and failure points.
Succeeding at something you have worked very hard for is very rewarding.
Have a great training week!
