When Practice Sinks In

Discovery is the spark — but learning is the fire.

Once you have glimpsed the truth of a movement, you return to it again and again. Each repetition carries the discovery deeper, until it no longer lives only in your mind but in your body.

At first, you must think. Step here, turn there, breathe now.
But through learning, thought fades. The body remembers on its own. The technique becomes a rhythm, a second nature.

Learning is not glamorous. It is steady, patient, repetitive. But within its simplicity lies transformation.
Like water shaping stone, the flow of practice etches skill into your being.

Learning is the third stage of practice.
It's where discovery becomes skill.

You've explored, you've discovered — now it's time to repeat, refine, and engrain. This is the long middle of practice, where progress is built brick by brick.

What Learning Looks Like

Movements feel more consistent, less forced.

Mistakes still happen, but recovery is quicker.

You no longer just know the technique — you begin to own it.

Why Learning Matters

It transforms insight into ability.

It builds confidence — repetition makes movements natural.

It prepares you for the next phase: Growing, where refinement and correction push you further.
