Target

Goodin Sensei always writes great entries in his blog. His latest one, Aim High and So Kuchi!, are also great. It makes me thinking, what is actually my target in doing karate. Without target the improvement might be slow or even none at all. With target, the improvement should be greater than aimlessly going through routine training. I do agree with him about setting up your goal as high as possible, but of course that should be the long term target. There must always be short term and medium term target. It applies in any situation actually, not only karate or martial art, but also in our daily life. Human always progressing, without progression, life will be very boring Our karate should not be boring also, strive to the highest should be the goal. I should be better than Higaonna Sensei!!! I admit it’s very difficult and I might never reach the goal, but at least the goal is there, and we should train with the aim to reach the goal.
