Sifu and JRRMAS Staff members WF, SK and BL practice lines of basic Stabs (Thrusts) with Broadswords.
Lesson 1:
Take any single technique
the more basic the technique is ....the better!
Choose your technique wisely.....
One, that is a common denominator to the Art or Form
Then.....while paying attention to principles and details
repeat the single technique in a line or row
amassing as many repetitions as you have the capacity for
Remember the idea is develop and refine .....
Changing the way you do the technique should happen daily...
Because:
Mastery is the goal!
Lesson 2:
To achieve Mastery in Martial Arts...
Correct practice is essential!
A basic level that is available to everyone is around 10,000 (correct) repetitions
Mastery is only available to those with a life long,
regular daily practice and is around 36,000 repetitions!
Repeating rows of the basic, is the main practice method
Rows makes it relatively easy to repeat the basic 100 or more times in one practice session
Then the secret is to do that practice daily......
It's amazing how quickly the repetitions will amass!
