Discipline

With all disciplines you must be dedicated to putting in practice time if you want wish to maintain a level of proficiency or progress. This goes for anything that a person wishes to pursue in life, the only way to get better is to continue to put in time and effort towards that goal in simple terms you just have to practice practice practice. So I have been enjoying this week off from work and took some time out of my day dealing with home projects and everything that goes into maintaining a persons property (there is so much more I have to get done this year it is not even funny). So back to my topic “Discipline”, I took some time out from my day and head out to the local gun range (something that I haven’t done since the weather turn bad last fall). To my disappointment, but not to my surprised that my draw times and mag changes were slower, and my accuracy was not quite what it had been last year. Now you must be asking what this has to do with my journey towards mastery in the martial arts? To me it is a reminder that to remain proficient in something you must continue to practice in that discipline. I have put in a lot of time and effort into my Kung Fu and have never really thought of what would happen if I stopped practicing, yesI knew what would happen but how fast it happens was not something I ever thought about. Warning the rust starts to build very quickly if you stop practicing.


Where am I? What am I doing?
