Journal entries for this Independent Component. Sorry that it's a little out of order, page 1 is just a brief summary of what I was going to do so I didn't think I had to add it in.

 L:
I, Paul Navarro, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
I complete 30 hours of training at my dojo which occurred every Saturday.

I:
There is much I have learned from the 38 hours of training that I have done. I have learned to slow down to make sure that you understand what it is that you are actually doing before you try and put speed into your techniques. Another thing is that you have to go in with the right mindset. You have to go there not expecting to be the absolute best, you have to go in thinking that you are going to have fun or just learn. Last thing that I learned is that teaching is the only way to get to know and be able to do the technique/material better. Not the only way but it is the best way.

A:
Well now that the 30 hours are over with I actually think that I have two more answer to my EQ. One of them being: to teach people. To become a successful aikido practitioner you have to teach people how to do aikido because then you'll actually learn and get to know it more. You retain about 95% of the technique if you teach it, so it just shows that this is a good way to become a successful aikido practitioner.
Another answer that I have come up with was having the right mindset. Because if you go into practice with the thought of you going to be good right off the bat, showing everybody how good you are, you are going to go nowhere. But if you go in with an open mind ready to learn then you will learn you'll actually tend to get the hang of it faster as well. That is why I thought that this would also be a good answer.
