(Reading's corner) Speed On the mats do your movements only as quickly as you can do them in a relaxed state. There is rarely a need to rush. Speed will come with proficiency, not anxiousness. If you train at a faster speed than is appropriate for you - you are like a skier who is racing down a hill too steep for his ability - an accident waiting to happen. Training too fast also reinforces mistakes which would be corrected at a slower pace. Speed will come with time and careful repetition of techniques. Take it easy and be precise. In this way you will learn well.

(Reading's corner) The Four Levels of KI Development The first level of KI development is KIAI.... KIAI to most martial artist is a yell when performing a dynamic technique. But KIAI is more than that. In martial training, when we have reached a level of complete harmony between our energy and our body, strong KI can be expressed with a yell. A simple yell without KI has no meaning and no strength, and usually its sound will disappear quickly. However, a yell with KI can resonate like thunder, echo in a building, and shake a wooden structure. KIAI literally means to join with KI. KIAI can be seen in technique that is clean, sharp, and graceful. See more
