Consistent Training
The most important
aspect of karate is your
systematic training schedule in the dojo.
It is strongly suggested as follows:
beginners: 2x weekly- minimum
intermediates: 3x weekly- minimum
advanced: 4x weekly- minimum
This refers to in the dojo training, a class participation schedule.
In every area of sports/physical
arts/athletics the
"superstars" / higher ranks train more vigorously and more often.
There are no shortcuts here.
In order to experience
the joy and vigor of a strenuous workout
we need to show up, suit up and participate. It never comes
from thinking about it, only from doing it.
The most common cause of injury, malaise, illness and
depression is inconsistent physical exercise or not training at all.
The advanced kata demand much more physical strength and
prowess than the basic kata. If you are too "busy " to meet
this
schedule then you need to find a way to break out of the rut.
"The dojo
is the place where courage is fostered and superior
human nature is bred through the ecstasy of sweating in hard work.
It is the sacred place where the human spirit is polished."
Master Nagamine.
Keep training.
Research this well.
Arigato,
Kyoshi Robert Scaglione.
