Progress Not Perfection

When it comes to martial arts training your focus should be on progress not perfection.

I say that because kids today struggle with always wanting to be perfect or think they should just be able to do something right away without much practice.

I am not sure if it’s because they can access information so quickly on the computer internet or video games but whatever the reason I see it a lot with kids.

Adults aren’t much better. They don’t want to look or feel dumb which causes insecurity but I think that prevents a lot of adults from trying new activities or hobbies.

Being a beginner is actually a good thing because that means you still have stuff to learn.

So embrace being a beginner and enjoy the journey.
