In short, there was no real reason for me to write anything. I wasn’t up to the mark. Hence I did not write anything until now.
I wanted to share an interesting experience I have been having by training alone. I find that I am better able to concentrate on my movements and actions without having external vibrations (other people’s) affecting me. When I am in Hong Kong, there is literally no place to be alone for a good amount of time. There is constant bombardment of vibrations from everyone. And since not everyone is attempting to be on a high, purified spiritual level, vibrations of a grosser type have a tendency of leeching your energy or making you lethargic. That is the condition I am often in when in Hong Kong.
So I definitely find it more beneficial to train alone. Sure, partner training methods are necessary to test your overall structure, movements and training. But solo training builds you. Partner training tests that building.
It is good to train alone. It is a requisite. When one trains alone, things pop-up that require thoughtful analysis and a pursuit of answers to questions previously not thought of. It is not good to be with people all the time. One needs alone time to play around with and embrace the basic concepts. These concepts can then be adapted into play when training with partners.
In addition to training alone, one must train with others to build conditioning and test one’s self against a live and fluid response. It is not enough to be static or even dynamic static – a term I coined describing a certain level of dynamism which does not transform into something else; a stagnation if you will – in training.
