Situation, student, over the years a person has been asked to fix a punch or a kick, because it is just not as good, as you know that they could perform it, they are missing that little tweak. But they do perform good enough to get to the next level. Then the day comes I am asked, could you critique my punch, or kick, I tell them it is still not right, they are shocked, I say you are missing this little tweak. So they come back in a week with this great new found tweak that they have been missing. I say that is it you have found the secret.
The part of sadness is, I have been telling you this for a long time, why did it take so long to fix.
The part of happiness is, I grin from ear to ear, that you have finally found the secret to doing a good execution of the punch or kick.
The problem is we get carried away with all of the frilly, look at me fun stuff, and do not perfect our very basic punches and kicks we learned in the first year of beginning the martial arts. If you fix the basic the frilly dilly stuff will look and feel much better. (you still don’t look like a tiger come back when you look like a tiger)
