-Viktor Frankl
This will be a very short post; a blurb of a blog entry;
One of my favorite things to practice to practice in martial arts is doing a strike and extinguishing a candle flame. I do this mainly with hand techniques, but now and again do so with kicks. Sometimes I do it on the first move (Especially with hand techniques) but sometimes it can take awhile (such as with a kick)
When you do a technique and fail, such as doing a strike and not blowing out the flame with its wind, or the vacuum it can make, you can see very visibly how you are either improving or not. I implore you to try. I've seen novices knock the candle over and spill wax on your carpet; I've been able to extinguish a candle from more than a meter, and I can see where I'm at because of that. If I can do a technique adequately, I am five feet from it and can put it out no matter what I do.
Practice this, and you will see where you are at.
