Question 039: Hip snap

 

When sparring or training in class, do not worry about scoring or looking good, instead, concentrate on performing perfect techniques with hip snap and focus. You may look silly at first, but as you learn to move to move properly, your techniques and power will dramatically improve and you will look better than the rest of your fellow students. Do not spend much time practicing what you can do, instead, spend most of your time learning and practicing what you cannot do. If you do right leg kicks much quicker and stronger than left leg kicks, do not practice right leg kicks, practice left leg kicks.
Practice long and hard in performing techniques properly, without concern for how you look to others, and, even though to yourself you will seem to be just doing what you always do, you will find that others begin to refer to you as the best martial artist in the class.

Stay relaxed, perform techniques perfectly with proper stances and posture, use hips snap and focus for power, and practice long and hard, and you will become a true martial artist.
