tension..

Today had karate training. Shihan highligted that most of us are lackin composure, calmness and passion. At sum point i am a bit 'terasa' but i don't deny it. Then after training i did asked him how can i be more calm. He explained that my techniques were ok , just that i just lack the confidence and composure. He's advice to me was to trust myself , believe in myself . I think he was right there, i don't know why recently i'm lacking bit of paassion and concentration during my Karate sessions. This sort of thing neva really happen previously. Partly is because i've become a bit jaded recently. Haven't been doing much training lately , not as much as i used to. Last time i was like damn bloody 'semangat' , wearing ankle weights to class, lift up my leg and hold the same position for seconds just to improve muscle control and lots of crazy stuffz.

I have to admit that i kinda miss all my previous seniors, those who graduated, the class seems to be different without them. It's not as competetive as it used to be. I used to look up to one guy, and he was sort of the martial artist that i want to emulate. It was sort of like having a source of inspiration and a close buddy to train with. It's a bit sad that he graduated , whatever left are just memories. Now, i can only do my best and try to be a good role model for the juniors.

Need to look for a new source of inspiration and always try to stay calm, focused and think of solutions rather than problems. Advice of the day from Shihan...
