A fellow martial arts student at Kenyon's posted a quote on Facebook the other day attributed to Bruce Lee - "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” Our Grand Master has been quoted as saying "If you want to do front and reverse punches correctly, you must spend ten hours a day, six days a week for three years doing nothing else." It makes sense repetition breeds success, practice makes perfect and many other sayings help reminds us of this. But for many the practicality of training at this level is hard to achieve, many things in life must be balanced such as jobs, family, other commitments and so we train as much as we can and rely on our teacher's for the guidance and wisdom that allows us to grow with and in our martial art.

"100 Corrections" that is what what was bestowed upon us tonight. "100 Corrections" as a group of us practiced the same Soo Bahk Do form over and over again, each time learning one more nuance that brought us closer to the form, closer to our art. "100 Corrections" to techniques that we had missed, mistook or like me messed up. "100 Corrections" brought a quick grin to our faces as we broke discipline for just a moment, knowledgeable that after class we would leave with just a little more than we started with.

"100 Corrections" - Tonight at Kenyon's Martial Arts we worked for an hour on one form, repeated it, learned a bit more about it and after we finished, we stood in amazement at ourselves, our art form and Kenyon Sa Bom Nim - and looked forward to our next "100 corrections"
