Sifu Kenneth instructing the fightersToday, the 22:nd march, Sifu Kenneth had Fighter Club Seminar at WT Center. He showed a lot of exercises for improving the fighting skills, and also talked about the psychology of fighting. It was very illuminating to take part of his extensive knowledge on the subject. At the end of the seminar we got to do short sequences of full contact fighting and try to apply what Sifu Kenneth had shown us. The most important thing is to open the fight good. That requires that one is able to trust the techniques, and to be focused on what is at hand.
Before I went to the seminar, I came up with all sorts of excuses of why I should stay home instead. I was sure I would not leave the seminar without pain and bruises. True, but I went anyway. It was a good lesson. To stand there, in front of rather aggressive guys and try to attack and defend myself was very challenging, I was a bit scared, but it was extremely worthwhile, because I learned some new things about myself, and how I react to a massive load of adrenaline and stress.
