Hello,

I was reading the long thread titled "non-compliant ukemi" and I get the impression that most everyone contributing on this forum has been training for many years. Is that the case? I guess it's humbling for me to read about people taking ukemi from Saotome Shihan back in the '80s, or using terms that are unknown to me, such as "internal skills". Humbling but at the same time encouraging to see how other people have dedicated themselves to martial training for so long.

I have only been training for almost 4 years and have a 2nd kyu rank. Maybe I caught brown belt syndrome.
