Between my physical ailments and traveling, I've spent a lot of time mentally practicing my stand up, ground, forms, weapons. There is a lot to be said about mental practice and observation. It has helped me understand the purpose of certain techniques and think about the flow of things. It is certainly no substitute for actually physically practicing. But,there IS value to sitting back and taking the time to think and observe in addition to practice.
As I reflect on this year and preparing for this test, I have learned so much. The training helps me both physically and mentally. The 360 team is great - we have shared a number of challenges together creating some of the best moments of my life.
Just another week to go and we'll see if this preparation will have been sufficient!
It's going to be great! Worth all the sweat and tears. I too,am anxious to see how mental preparation works out.
