"Seek to imitate your sensei" kind of thing.<BR/><BR/>If you're 2nd dan, you ought to look up to 3rd dan's and seek to imitate them no? (all things being otherwise equal)<BR/><BR/>We all learn from each other. But the point is you do learn more from higher ranked persons. The sentence did not limit anything. <BR/><BR/>And you're right, by the way.Mathieuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914289317924626891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26948657.post-58647480986668170862007-05-27T15:27:00.000-04:002007-05-27T15:27:00.000-04:00It's a daunting feeling to be looked at as the ex...It's a daunting feeling to be looked at as the example, because you find that your mistakes will transfer as quickly as your successes.<BR/><BR/>It's great to see that you keep your mental balance as you feel this pressure to perform. I'd like to add that there is no shame in making a mistake, the worst thing would be not correcting it.Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918610819952156537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26948657.post-1757363846220193472007-05-25T21:42:00.000-04:002007-05-25T21:42:00.000-04:00This story teaches a great morals and it's really ...This story teaches a great morals and it's really true. However, their is a detail I am not completely agreeing:<BR/><BR/>Watch how a kata is done by a higher ranked student and you learn.<BR/><BR/>Are you sure you can only learn by higher ranked? As instructor I see a lot of student (higher than me or not) and I learn a lot by lower rank too. This is an extreme, by a day a I learned something from a kid who's orange belt when I began teaching and I was black belt! You can even learn by yourself. Your limit is your mind.Benoithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419960032135646100noreply@blogger.com
