   Very true… and per­haps frus­trat­ing. I think this is how many oth­ers of us at the dojo feel as well!

   Frus­trat­ing isn’t the right term. It’s more like a real­iza­tion that the path is long. When you start, you expect to know noth­ing; you barely real­ize you’re on a path. Then, after a while of prac­tice (six months? A year? Two? more?) you feel like you’ve made progress, and it feels good.
   Then there are days when you round a bend on the path and you see just how far it goes, and how rel­a­tively few steps you’ve actu­ally taken. That’s more like how it felt.

   i feel the same and i’ve prac­ticed for about 2 1/2 years off and on. i’ve heard it said that a black belt is just the ‘mas­ter of basics’
