Yeah! thank you! this comment is better than the whole original post! Very well-worded. You must practice some martial art? (no obligation to disclose, just curious)
- adrian_b 2y agoI have practiced for many years some Okinawan styles and also Japanese judo and aikido when I was young. Unfortunately later when I became much busier with my profession I have never found again some place close enough to my home to be able to go there regularly within the little available time. Nowadays I only practice solo exercices for preserving health, but this is still a very important benefit of what I have learned when young.
- amatecha 2y agoAh nice! I'm glad you're still doing some regular exercise/practice. I learned a bit of aikido when I was young too, and more recently have had some very nice 1:1 instruction in shotokan from a VERY experienced practitioner. I can see how mastering even just one or two kata can be a valuable practice throughout one's life, outside of the self-defense benefits. I like that there's always more to learn, and greater subtlety to understand and ingest. Very rewarding and mentally/spiritually powerful. (not to mention great exercise haha)
