• Listen and observe. You can learn a lot from others; be they masters, beginners, or just ordinary people.

• Self-discipline. Keep focused on your training and learning. Stay focused on your goals and persevere through pain, injury, losses, depression, and discouragement.

• Comprehend. Question and analyze all movements and techniques until you understand when, where, and how to use each one.

• Stay fit. Build strength, power, flexibility, stamina, speed, control, and coordination.

• Fight boredom. Vary your training routine. Do not become too dependent on a particular method. Cross-train in complementary sports.

• Feel the energy. Be aware of and be one with your internal energy as you train.

• Adapt. When barriers to your training occur, find ways around them.

• Learn from your mistakes. Do not dwell on mistakes, fix what caused the mistake, learn from the experience, and continue.

• Be patient. Achieving excellence takes time. As long as you are progressing, you are getting closer to your goal.

• Limitations. Accept your limitations. Know your strengths and weaknesses. Do not try to keep up with others, work within your capabilities

• Self-confidence. Believe in yourself and do not let others deter you from your goals.

• Seek guidance. Never think you have all the answers. Seek guidance from others to learn more.

• Concentrate on specifics. Break down a technique into its individual components and concentrate on each specific movement.

• Think positive. Keep a positive mental attitude. Do not let anything stop you from reaching you goals.
