EVERYDAY – 365 OF THEM!

 By Phillip Starr

Here's a challenge for those who are determined to achieve higher levels of skill and knowledge about their chosen style of karate, taekwondo, or gong-fu...select a form that you already know, and practice it at least once every day. Every, Day. For a year. If you miss a day for any reason at all, you have to start over.

Think you can do it?

Remember, missing one practice for ANY reason – sickness, forgetfulness, injury, the kid's soccer game... - ANYTHING – sets you back to Day One. Still want to do it? Can you?

I suggest picking a fairly basic form that isn't too lengthy, and one that you can practice indoors (remember, you'll have to do it through the winter, too). You can do it fast, slow, medium speed...however you want. The important thing is to do it as best you can, every day.

With the passing of time through the year, you'll discover things about your form that you may not have even suspected. And you find small errors that you've been unconsciously making for a very long time.

I could go on and on about how this lengthy practice will benefit you, but I'll just leave it here. Let me know what you discover!
