I love articles such as this that further lets us explore and examine all aspects of martial arts training. Generally speaking, we hear and see so much more emphasis on the physical side that often the general public is left with the impression that this is all there is. Thank you. Each of us can help change this perception little by little by embodying it as well as sharing it in the written word. I really enjoyed this post.

It reminds me of fractal patterns and natural mathematical sequences, not that that helps... Good post! Wow that is phenomenal.

I'll try my best to keep it up. FC - Couldn't agree more, it's amazing how arts intertwine sometimes. Becky – Very humbling because I know the high quality of many other martial arts blogs out there!

As a avid yogi, i can see applications here for my practice. Also, love the illustrations; they're a big help when you're a visual person like me :-) So much of what you write about is applicable outside of the martial arts…and this post is no exception.

I had to draw the article to a conclusion, but I think it's definitely true that one never fills in all of those white spots. Exploring each white spot just opens up more possibilities. That's why I stated working toward the void is a matter of will more than anything, rather than a matter of time. Marguerite and MAM - Your kind comments are very appreciated! I'm always concerned about the clarity and usefulness of articles such as this, so I'm glad it came across ok. Zyaga – Thanks for the comment!

It's kind of like you find those gaps that I didn't even know were there and point them out to me, giving me something new in my m.a. journey to research and investigate and with which to experiment! Thanks!!!! Your posts really speak to me.

It has me thinking about the way I've been self-evaluating my own training. I am at that point where I've found gaps, so now it's time to close those gaps. I'm sure once one gap is closed, another will appear. It's really nice to see it written out like this. Thank you! Oh this is wonderful!!

It really got me thinking about how if I take a hard look at myself, I can see the areas that are starting to blend together nicely, whereas other areas clearly have open space in them that need to be filled. Generally knowing what areas you need work in mostly, gets you one step closer to filling in those empty spots. Great article!
