Sometimes it feels like the real learning comes when you have a chance to relax and not worry about performing. <br /><br />All the best,<br />Ash<br />Spirit Defence<br />http://spiritdefence.blogspot.com/<br />www.spiritdefence.com.auSpirit Defence www.spiritdefence.com.auhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06590710790982271684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361443425638782419.post-14016066080651431932011-01-31T14:37:53.407+00:002011-01-31T14:37:53.407+00:00Thank you for the mention Sue!

...Greetings SueC:<br /><br />As always, nice post. You said:<br /><br /><i>"3. Learning to spell! I’ve been told that all pre black belt training is about teaching you the alphabet and post black belt training is about teaching you to spell. Well, I’m looking forward to learning to spell."</i><br /><br />I am having a good chuckle with this excerpt, I really like the analogy.<br /><br /><i>"I’m really hoping to avoid the ‘black belt blues’ that many new black belts seem to suffer from."</i><br /><br />In my humble opinion and due to the content of your blog to date I believe wholeheartedly you have nothing to be concerned about in this regard. You seem to be way ahead of this conundrum.Charles Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812618556413423872noreply@blogger.com
