I have been studying Kenpo for about 1.5 years. I have not been very active with my instructor for the better part of 9 months really. I still practice several times a week, and during times driving or alone for a few minutes I am thinking Kenpo.
Is one time a week enough? When I make it to class, class normally lasts at least 2.5 hrs. I feel I receive good instruction and have good basics. I believe i move well for my level. But what about that depth of understanding. My instructor says I think kenpo well, but thinking and understanding and using the principles are different beasts all together.
I used to use the forums as a resource to compare my Ideas with others, but man GD really made some of my thoughts seem simplistic. He did not make me feel dumb by any means but he showed me to a deeper end of the pool. In a very short and basi topic.
I am not intimidated by it, but discouraged by my own lack of thorough thinking.
:shrug:
p.s. once a week is due to time commitments mostly. to make it to class and back is a 3hr drive.
