three stages of learningHi, can anyone please remind me of the three states of traing/learning(not sure of the correct terminology here).I keep forgetting to write them down after class and of course by the next day it's gone. (Head like a sieve). I think it starts Shu somthing. I've tried the internet but with no real idea of what it should be, there's just too much to sift through. Can anyone help? |

| Q |
SUHARIThe below Japanese writing stands for 'SUHARI', an old important Martial Arts word in Japan. See http://www.wikf.com/suhari.htmSU indicates that a beginner must correctly copy all karate techniques from his instructor. HA means that after a number of years of training, when the karateka has attained a high degree black belt, he is allowed to develop new techniques provided they are improvements. This applies to all movements with the exception of basic techniques. RI is the highest form. It means that after an even longer period of training than for HA, the Karateka must be able to perform all forms of karate automatically, not stopping to think about his moves. |
