Taps: 319.
These are my thoughts these days as a baby Blue belt.
Level 1 - Learn Techniques. Learn the process of learning a technique. For me, the slow and sure way has been Drilling. 1000 reps.
Level 2 - Realizing that Techniques alone Does NOT WORK. Assuming that I drilled the technique into my muscle memory, the other guy is not going to just there and let me get my grips and set up the technique.
Level 3 - Along with Technique, I need Timing. Timing means I need to wait for the right Opportunity or create the Opportunity. Pulling so that he pulls back and I can use his momentum. Moving one way to force a reaction. Creating an Opportunity means I need to learn Weight Distribution and Balance, and to learn that I need to learn Sensitivity and Connection so that I can feel his Weight and Balance.
I'm not sure what Level 4 is, but as I slowly get my reps in on techniques, I am tiptoeing into the deep end that is Level 3 but not knowing exactly how I can acquire Timing, Opportunity, Weight Distribution, Balance, Sensitivity and Connection.
