And sure enough, as I flew the landing pattern, I did. That voice was reassuring. But after I had flown on my own a few times, that voice receded and was replaced by my own.<br /><br />In order to evolve a skill, you need to replace your instructor’s voice. If you still hear that voice after understanding the basics, you are not evolving. In such a case, as Rory suggests, you may need to eliminate that outside voice by whatever means necessary.Erik Kondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517214990308875256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-84474559681225481722014-10-22T19:53:43.713-07:002014-10-22T19:53:43.713-07:00Thank you RoryThank you RoryTiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353406161801417939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-30986829374557918302014-10-22T17:51:36.022-07:002014-10-22T17:51:36.022-07:00I'm not sure where Anonymous comes to the conc...I'm not sure where Anonymous comes to the conclusion that there are no police officers or military service members who seriously train in martial arts. I am one -- and know many others. That said -- he does have a valid point that you cannot simply take a martial art and use it in Law Enforcement. You have to shape the training and applications to the requirements. Not that much different than adapting to a particular rule set for competition, when you think about it.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393212692342514984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-79049471036509555192014-10-22T09:43:50.168-07:002014-10-22T09:43:50.168-07:00Oh, looks like my earlier comment didn't make ...Oh, looks like my earlier comment didn't make it:<br /><br />Where I train there is a clear distinction between "You're doing it wrong and this won't work." <br />and <br />"You're doing it right, this should work (no guarantees of course), but if you fix this little detail it will be more efficient."<br /><br />On Wim Demeere's blog he once said that now that he's older, he can hit harder than ever before with even less effort. I think this latter type of correction, which is really more like refinement, is what leads to that kind of development.Old Bull Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-21078374524179456522014-10-22T04:03:40.438-07:002014-10-22T04:03:40.438-07:00I said refinement, I probably should have said inc...I said refinement, I probably should have said increasing efficiency.Old Bull Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-82126618116047767562014-10-22T04:01:27.594-07:002014-10-22T04:01:27.594-07:00Where I train, there is a clear distinction betwee...Where I train, there is a clear distinction between doing it wrong and being corrected, and doing it right but getting some pointers for refinement.

All systems of techniques have a strange way of deteriorating into mediocrity. Those styles and techniques youre saying people gravitate towards can all be gravitated towards while learning how to use them in the line of duty without trying to blur it together into a special style. Then theres nothing to deteriorate, just a good environment to improve. In my opinion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282376682399489460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-50522560350896529442014-10-21T22:02:44.966-07:002014-10-21T22:02:44.966-07:00I've never heard of anyone in the police force...I've never heard of anyone in the police forces or military practicing martial arts ever (serious)... combat operatives are western boxing, wrestling, and western submission locks/holds. I've met a lot of martial arts instructors from Kyokushin, traditional chinese martial arts and karate, and at no point has there ever been a crossover with the police forces. People who actually serve "in the line of duty" generally trash eastern arts. It's best for the police to create their own systems rather than turning to ju jutsu black belts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-58856977935115700452014-10-21T19:01:51.346-07:002014-10-21T19:01:51.346-07:00I agree with Anon.

It can also be the only thing that kicks your butt to be better than yesterday.

(Yeah, 'nough said)<br /><br />But, part of this is just striving to become better. How can what happened be improved? What other options were there that I didn't notice that I should try to be more aware of? What follow-up opportunities could I have taken advantage of? (personal debrief?) I know each situation is going to have different variables in play, I don't have enough experience to say if that makes it a bad habit.<br /><br />Does that make sense?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
