Re: Letting go of thinking through techniques

Today was a really rough class for me. I actually felt like I was able to focus more on executing techniques and not thinking my way through them (except ikkyo) and then boom. I was using strength and not energy. Very tough thing to adjust to. This is hard. Fun as can be, I love it, it's just hard. I also feel bad working with more experienced people. They can only want to continue going over basics for so long without getting aggravated with me lol. Even so they are all being nice. So, hopefully I'll start improving a bit in the next month or so.
While it's not possible to simply choose to let go of thinking your way through a technique, I believe it is possible to choose to let go of expecting things to make sense, or expecting techniques to become easier.
