I realize that there are many people that only pursue karate training as a hobby, as a form of exercise or for the sheer pleasure. Not everybody is as passionate about this activity as I am (which is a shame, but nobody's perfect), but even those people pursuing a hobby should want to get better at it. You can't improve at an activity without learning more about it, that involves daily training but research, reading and questioning as well.
Everyday I try to read more about karate as a topic (history, training methodology, and karate blogs), about physical training, weight training and psychology. All of these are aspects of my improvement in becoming a better karate-ka. I wrote a post on a different blog which pertains to life in general, but is perfectly applicable to karate or any other endeavor.
As karate-ka we have to continually grow, to cause evolution of the art, and improve the transmission of the art beyond our generations. Read, learn and practice; that's the formula to constant growth.
Enjoy the linked post.
Never Stop Growing
