I am so excited at this moment in time. I know my knowledge and ability in karate-jutsu-do is good. I have come to realize in my practice over the last hour that I will begin to improve by leaps and bounds. I feel this deep in my gut.
I have discovered my sense mode. The dominant one that has hindered my life for these past 54 years. My gaining knowledge of touch sense, my growing understanding of touch sense and my acceptance that I have a dominant sense of touch has allowed me to "see" my training from a whole different perspective. A perspective from a touch sense mode.
I have trained, taught, practiced karate these past thirty plus years from a sight and sound sense mode with a smattering of touch. I now understand why my form of teaching met with some initial resistance. It was a bit of sight, sound and a lot of touch orientation.
I practiced today with a new sense of touch mode where I imagined threats and attacks with more touch orientation. I imagined actually connecting. I imagined how it would feel when I moved, parried, and connected with a technique. I used it to enhance my visualization, my imagery, my tactual means of feeling the event and it felt natural, normal, and very good. This is positive.
I am anxious to check my progress as I move along the path to "see" if results gain momentum vs. current sight/hearing oriented momentum. Understand that I am pleased with my level of proficiency. I wish I had understood sooner. It is never to late and this is something that excites, pleases, and motivates me beyond my normal somewhat obsession of martial arts.
