Workshops and Seminars

 Training with others is always a very enjoyable and educational process.  Other instructors and sparring partners have ideas you may or may not have thought about, have a different way of explaining, showing details you hadn't considered before, possibly point out little mistakes you've been making that others hadn't picked up on etc etc, so whenever you get the chance, try and participate in one. 

I did just that this weekend, joining US instructor Sifu Richard Torres in Leiden,  the Netherlands for a workshop on the finer points found in JKD techniques/mechanics.  A great time was had by all.
