I understand where you are going with this first section, but kind of doesn't apply to me. I'm not a novice, but not an expert by any means. Training for about 15 years or so. Which basically only means I don't trip over my feet anymore when I do kihon waza. I can very much relate to the adage you passed on to me. I've been there and done that too. Thanks for the advice

I agree with Szczepan here. If you have been training for 15 years and feel that you are stuck, I think this means that you need to re-evaluate your own training procedures. By the time I had been training for 15 years, I had moved to Japan and was training with my present teacher and also with shihans recommended by my previous teacher. It was a major change in my life, and one that I have never regretted. I am not suggesting you do something as drastic as moving to another country, but finding a good shihan to train under, one who can show you the possibilities of the art and guide you, is crucial, in my opinion.
Best wishes,
