Self Assessment
How many of us actually take to the time to reflect on our performance? Most of us push forward everyday trying to improve, but a secret to mastery is the ability to take the time to perform a self assessment.
Here a few questions to start asking yourself:
Physical:
- How is your overall flexibility?
- Leg and hip flexibility?
- Body mobility?
- Explosive power?
- Cardio vascular conditioning level?
- Strength levels?
- Grip strength?
Mental:
- Ability to focus?
- Meditation?
- Motivation level?
- Discipline?
- Ability to enter flow state?
Technique:
- Weapon usage?
- Rolling, falling?
- Kicking skills?
- Striking hands, arms knees etc.?
- Variations known?
- Ability to improvise?
- Sparring level?
- Multiple opponent skills?
- Cross training in other arts?
Alright so that is just a few questions to start your first self assessment off with, but again this is just the beginning, I could ask 100 or more questions, but in order to start the process focus on a key few and be brutally honest with yourself regarding your level of skill or performance!
Alright go beat yourself up!
Bufu Ikkan!
