i am in martial arts and 15. how to get better and impress them.|||I used to be JUST LIKE YOU.
Here%26#039;s the deal grasshopper....you need to compete against yourself. Impress yourself. Impress everyone around you, not with your martial arts skills, but with your skills at being a %26quot;decent human being%26quot;. People will come to know you as a %26quot;good person%26quot;.
I hate to say this, but in hindsight, many of my martial arts instructors were not worth impressing.
You may dismiss this advice as %26quot;philosophical BS%26quot;, but it%26#039;s not. The majority of people in this world are not into martial arts and most of them could really care less. But, if you build a reputation as a good person both inside and outside your dojo, you will get earn the respect of many. And, when some of them ask you %26quot;what%26#039;s your secret?%26quot;, you can explain that you were involved in the martial arts for many years and that was how you were taught.|||It isn%26#039;t about how well you fight. It is about how serious you are about learning and how disciplined you are. Once you get to the higher levels in Karate (as will other rank based martial arts) there is more of a commitment from the individual. A teacher wants to know if you are ready for that commitment. Are you a leader or just there for the ride? Are you worth investing into or just easy money in the mean time for the dojo (I know it is harsh)? If you want to impress them, become more involved and show that you are committed to the art. Become a leader and encourage others to improve as well (but don%26#039;t do it in a jerky way). Learn as mush as you can and always ask to learn more.|||If you train under a real Sensei they will never be impressed with just your fighting ability. If they are then they do not know much about true Karate Do.
If you want to impress your Sensei just train hard, learn from them, listen, represent your school and Sensei with honor and be dedicated. Real Sensei respect knowledge and dedication because everyone knows as you age ability goes away but if you can apply true knowledge then you can be effective regardless of your age.
After 31 years I am not impressed by anyone who has trained less than 10 years since it takes that long to truly understand a real martial art...this is why you see so many people talking crap on Y/A...they have not trained with a real instructor or %26quot;think%26quot; they know more than the ones that have do with no factual support for their claims.|||Show good technique and control and be curteous always be aware of your surroundings never let yourself or your partner be pinned against a wall and dont be afraid to ask questions talk to your sensei and the people helping out in your class ask what they are looking for and ask for their advice|||Show initiative, try hard, and don%26#039;t ever quit. Show them you care about learning the art, and you%26#039;re not just doing it %26quot;because.%26quot;
Ask questions, be involved. Show you are actually learning by acting interested. Don%26#039;t suck up, though. :P
And...
PRACTICE. Trust me, they know.|||Developing a heart to continue on regardless and also perfecting your basics and kata.
Best wishes :)***|||train hard do everythign exactly how you are told. dont screw around in class. be respectful to everyone in class.
