Throw or to be thrown
Saturday, May 13, 2006 Yesterday i had my very first chance to put on my yellow belt upon my judo uniform, well.. really, it feels good somehow.. it's like i've achieve something.. tho it's not that great in practical, but, hell yeah, i felt good. 3 of us (yellow belters) had our chance to free practice around, and pick up new skills for our orange belt throws. The whole process of cracking on how to put it right and apply it on the right situation really excites me. As, from this point onwards, most of the techniques are going to be more technical and it requires instantaneous reflexes. According to my master, the techniques might looks complicated and strange when you first acquired the knowledge about it, but with practice and accumulation of observation and experience, it became more fluent, smooth, and the ultimate goal of judo is to make everything sharper, simpler, and shorter (as in time to react). Seemingly, i sensed a deep meaning lurked right beneath the principle of the martial art, and it's similar to how we live our lives. We do complicate things when it's uneccesary, and it became a habit or a standard reaction, as we progress along our lives with everyone behaving in a similar matter. I've also learned from Judo that, things that are similar, arent neccesarily the same, with just a fraction of differences, it could results in the direction of the outcome. Moreso, outcomes of any consequences, cant be limited to just as simple as "win, lose, or draw", there are many other possibilities other than the ones that we normally perceived it as "usual" possibilities. There are times that, the outcome might turned out to be a stagnant state, a mixture of elements (complex combination of win-lose-draw situation), redirection of issues, etc. Since, everything possessed the possibilities to be anything, the basic principle of securing your desire or your need, is to tackle basics of the circumstances. Say, if you view the obstacles in your life as the opponent you face in judo, the first thing you must bring with you, is the courage and will to face it. Next, with the mind of clear concentration, hold firm to your ground, understand your goals/needs, and break its balance. Obstruct the obstacles, by making yourself more flexible and solid in approaching. And, when the opponent is caught off-balance, step in, apply on the knowledge that has already been passed to you, and finish it off. Once the result is announce, step up, and be ready for the next match. Unlike judo, Time wont stop, and there's not time to waste. leaving skool f-r3d at 11:44 PM 1 pokies {WTFPWNKTHXBYE} |
