I think the key here is really the mind body connection. Without the necessary level of training and focus so much of a MA is lost. What good is a punch with out force? What use is a forcefull punch without the will to throw it when you need to? Only many many hours of training can lead you to the physical skill and i feel that many more are needed after physical mastery in order to bring the mental aspect of the arts to bear. We've all seen some of this, focus, determination, balance, and awarness, and i hope we all continue to do so. These are the things that seperate the MAist from someone that just works out in a gym.

Well, Aikidoduder, i'm sick of saying the same old crap over and over again so i just say the first thing that pops into my head.

I thought it was an excellent statement.

Fair enough - but why don't you just copy and paste from another argument?

It does seem as though there are allways areas our training could be augmented on. Wether we are traditionalists or not.

A simple straight punch can allways be improved on. It can allways be faster, or more powerful. A block can allways be faster or stronger. Our foot work can allways be better.

The way we put moves together in our heads can allways be improved on. It does not matter what our backgrounds our. None of us can never reach an ultimate state of perfection in our training.
