This bog is a thank you to my training partner, Ms Ferris. A training partner can change how you approach things, how you see things and that is what happened this week.
Ms Ferris and I were training the other day and she made a comment about my control and power. I was taken back a bit because I didn’t think of myself as someone with control or power. I really just didn’t think about it. During one of my techniques, I hit Ms Ferris in the chest, hard enough to hear it but not enough to hurt her (at least that’s my intention 😉). That was when it hit home that I do have control and power, don’t get me wrong it’s a work in progress, but it highlighted the difference in our belt level training, things you don’t see during the slow progression as you move forward.
The next surprise was when I was trying to go for one lock and it wasn’t working but I was able to immediately move to another unplanned lock that did work. I was actually reacting without thinking (too much).
The other thing that is coming slowly is confidence. There are many times that I feel unsure, not worthy but they get less and less as I train, as I gain experience. Lots of great moments this week! Can’t wait for next weeks.
