It is often now that I travel to different schools or seminars and pay for training. It is also often that for the most part I am lucky to see something new. Now most would think of this as being some kind of negative exchange. You are hoping to learn some new technique but in the end you've failed to realize there really isn't one.
With this being said, why would you pay money to train if you might already "know it all". I say this as fun because I know I don't know it all but there are those that definitely think they do, lol.
The reason you keep training and keep going isn't for new knowledge. The reason to keep training is often to keep moving forward in your digestion of the knowledge you already know.
This is important because often enough people spend all their life in and outside the Martial Arts, looking for that one new thing that really doesn't exist. The reason is refinement. The reason is accuracy. The reason is the sharpen our strongest tool.... our brain!!!
I say open up your mind and look to the stars and heavens for the answers. You might just notice that they are the same stars you have been looking up at since you were born.
Be a white belt in everything you do for every day of your life!!!
