Currently, or in the past, are notebooks a part of your Kenpo journey? Are they required? Have you written down everything you've learned, just parts you have trouble with, or nothing?
My first instructor required notebooks and told us to write everything down as though we were either telling someone over the phone or telling a blind person. This ends up making you be very detailed in your note-writing. Later, no other instructor I've had has required them, but I was so used to writing everything by the time my first instructor moved away, that I realized the importance of having notes. Since the beginning of my Kenpo journey, I have had several times where Kenpo was not available to me and my notes have proved to be quite a help in those times for things to practice, things to re-learn or things to clarify.
Anyone else?
Thanks-
