Improving till perfect!

Did something fun today. okay i know i shouldn't be doing this at home but i did it. haha.. i trail run some of the aikido movements on my older sister! Her bones were cracking away as i did but according to her its normal. But i cracked her wriste and she complained of pain but we were laughing away. crazy ppl like us.. lol

wonder why the techniques didn't quite work. Maybe during trainings our partners would relax and allow us to do the technique and follow with the flow of the movement. my sis did put up quite abit of resistance i guess due to fear of not knowing what i was going to do or being mentally prepared. But maybe i was quite gentle with her cause i was afraid i would injure her.

If someone is to attack me now i highly doubt i can bring down the person after my trail run with my sister. In my heart i know i still have a long way to go in just perfecting those movements i have done. At least now i have a feel of how different it is to apply it in real life to bring a person down to the ground. Wonder in the first place whether the attacker would even follow the flow of your movements.

Perfecting the technique already and not just the movement is difficult but applying the theories such as using your oponent's strength to bring them down. Seems like i will take years to grasp this theory. Hmm i seem to be thinking really very far considering that i'm only an orange belt. LOL.

Shall continue to make use of all trainings to improve! Gambatte~
