The Jump Manual Free

[bakyad]

This way of thinking keeps the focus on what we are The Jump Manual Review accomplishing in our training instead of what's left to be accomplished. This also keeps expectations at a realistic level. Many people walk into the dojo for the first time expecting to become untouchable. This can lead to discouragement when it becomes apparent that there will always be someone better and even untrained individuals will pose a threat. The pyramid is a more realistic measurement of progress and source of motivation (i.e. I'm still not ready for Mike Tyson yet, but that drunk in the bar is no longer in my pyramid of threats).

Another benefit to the pyramid viewpoint is it is a source of measurement more closely tied to the real world. Belt ranks differ drastically from style to style and school to school. It may be a good measuring stick against other members of your school or your own progress within that style, but it's virtually useless when measuring yourself against outside threats.

The pyramid, however, does not adjust for belt rank. Of course you will have to use your performance in the dojo as part of the equation, but you will need information from outside sources as well. The more information you can assimilate, about both yourself and possible threats, the more accurate your assessment of the size of your pyramid and how best to reduce it. Good sources of information can include books, videos (especially those showing realistic attacks), television, seminars, and individuals that have first hand experience.

Martial arts' training can be like climbing a mountain. If we focus on the peak (invincibility), it's easy to become overwhelmed and discouraged, but if we limit our attention to the next ledge, plateau or step, it's easier to keep going. Eliminate threats from your pyramid one at a time. You will probably never eliminate all threats, but the goal is to keep your pyramid as small as possible within the limitations of your given resources and commitment.
