Congrats on your martial arts journey! I've been teaching martial arts for 25 years and I'm still learning new things from kata and then figuring out new ways to teach it. Even the basics have more depth than I ever realized when I first learned them. Beginning to teach really levels up our learning and pulls into consciousness things that were only understood subconsciously.

Thanks Ash. 100% agree on that idea around teaching and it leveling up our learning and creating the deeper layers (unconscious competence). I'm helping teach the kids BJJ class and seeing it in action there for me. Still scratching the surface on the basics, but some patterns are starting to form. Attempting to coach others through different techniques is definitely helping me with my techniques.
