Find It, Fix It

My Second Degree Black Belt Test was a goal I've been working on for six months. Our studio has a six-month countdown process... extra exercise classes... extra martial arts classes... not to include all of the practices the candidates called on weekends and weeknights and of course my own personal practice... easily 300 hours worth.

In the end though, it wasn't a six-month process... it was a six-year process... this is when I started studying martial arts training.

When you perform for someone... in a relaxed environment or on the bandstand... everything you've done up to that point has prepared you for that moment. If you have a great performance... you got what you deserved... you worked hard and smart. If you have a lousy performance... you got what you deserved... you didn't work hard enough or smart enough.

At our studio we often quote a phrase given to us by master instructor KJN Clamitt... "Find It, Fix It"

Say it... Find It, Fix It...

What's your "It" right now?
