Not many of us attended, maybe a dozen. A couple blues, a couple purples, one or two browns and amazing a handful of blackbelts. The stuff Carlos showed made most of the blackbelts slap themselves in the forehead! Basic, very basic type techniques and yet, they never even seen this type of stuff. It was entertaining to see them stumble and screw up just as bad as a noobie whitebelt :)<br />Some of the blackbelts were Carlos's own students! Even when you make to the coveted blackbelt...there is still a ton more to learn!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597719629276744299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1811893258346327939.post-60487703115249751052011-01-08T19:42:49.408-08:002011-01-08T19:42:49.408-08:00Thanks combats...there's SO much to learn and ...Thanks combats...there's SO much to learn and coordinate.

It's ok, you'll get it. Look back at how you were when you first started and knew nothing. See how much you know now. Give yourself time. Ask your partners what you are doing wrong and how you could do it better. I don't hesitate to stop mid roll sometimes. I've seen the guys do this too. Just relax and have faith in yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
