Ouch. I am in great pain now. Had aikido grading earlier this morning and during the grading, I twisted my knee and injured it I think, or else it should not be hurting right?
Well I think I should pass the grading as the requirements for white belt to blue is not very high and I could execute the moves, though not with perfection and grace. I know I need a lot more practice as I think that my skills suck. The learning of a martial art has certainly been a wonderful experience for me because firstly, I have made lotsa friends there. Secondly, I have always thought that there was something about those martial exponents. They always execute their moves with DEADLY GRACE. Yes, they look drop-dead graceful. But their moves are lethal. I aspire to make my moves like that in future.Also, the learning of martial arts, I would say, is truly a humbling experience as you not only have to make yourself better at it, you too have an obligation to help your friend improve too during training. If you didnt have one, you are better off training with wooden blocks, am I not right? But we are training with our friends here, and we help each other attain perfection.So, I think the learning of aikido has taught me something I can never learn from books. Yes, we learn group dynamics, but I will say that it is quite different from those that you learn from doing project works. As we train together, we develop a sense of comradeship.And I think that you can never learn that, even from working in groups.Never. Anyway, I am going off to play games. Ta ta
