This is one of the "Core 10" talks I give. It is about repetition in practice and training.
In the Usagi Dojo, I have an informal repetition minimum limit of 3 reps for each person on each side of the body.
Too
many people are of the mind that they try something until they get it
right, then they stop practicing the move. Problem is, then they never
remember the correct method - especially when it comes time to spar.
I
suggest instead that the student practice the move until they get it
right, and then put into play my "3-reps" rule. This way, the student
gets familiar with doing it correctly. This also gets most people just a
tad tired of doing the move... which means it just became something they can remember!
