The saying “Repetition is the Mother of Skill” can be applied very directly to Martial Arts Training. It is very true that repetitive training can lead to great improvements in your technique. However, it is essential that you learn the techniques to a point where you are confident in carrying the movements out.
If you were to repeat incorrect techniques time and time again, then you are simply reinforcing poor technique which is never a good thing.
This theory can be applied to most areas of your training, whether you are training for Kicks, Punches, throws, joint locks or even good technique for training exercises.
Be sure to learn the correct movements at a low intensity and gradually build up the tempo as you become more confident. Never be afraid to go back to the beginning and ensure your technique is good and then build the tempo up again. Don’t allow yourself to get sloppy in your movement.
Repetition is the Mother of Skill but only when you are positively reinforcing good technique.
