The Way Of Learning

Talking about the learning process yesterday. These are the essential points:

Attitude towards learning. Ritual preparation is essential to put the mind and emotions in the right place to learn, from karate ‘etiquette’ to ‘waiting for Tai Chi to arrive’ these preparations are important before you start.

Planning each movement, from building a memory palace, making notes to creating a list of what you need to remember before you move creates a mindful way of training toward improvement.

Only move at a speed that you can maintain that mindset and complete that list is essential. Mindless repetition is useless.

Reflecting after you have moved is the road to correction to ensure you don’t repeat mistakes.

Mindful training is the ‘way’.
