BMAC Seminar

It’s funny, after Sunday’s training at Boston Martial Arts with Dennis’ teacher Mark Davis, I learned a few things.
One: When you want to do something, it will never come out the way you want it.
Two: When you don’t know how to do something, you are caught in the technique and lose any concept that is given to you.
Three: When you are out of your comfort zone, you lose any type of confidence that you might have or thought you had
Four: When you can’t see, you can’t see until someone points it out to you
Five: Subtlety is never easy to come across or see
Six: WOW
Seven: The two rules of our dojo will always hold true
Eight: Sometimes you need your close training partner to get the concept and then others to test it out
Nine: I got this what did I miss?
Ten: Slow will help you learn, especially with a great uke
Eleven: The wealth of knowledge that is out there is unfathomable, and I find myself fortunate to have a lineage that is willing to teach their experience, knowledge and wisdom
Twelve: Mark Davis is brilliant
Thirteen: Seeing the face I make to Dennis when something goes astray; made by Dennis is priceless… yet scares me on what he picked up.
Finally the fourteenth lesson, keep on searching, “because here is the answer you have searched for a life time, only if you could remember asking the question.”

Thanks BMAC for the seminar, A lot of valuable information
