Karate Skills and The Imposter
Karate Skills and The Imposter. The imposter syndrome is something that can take you off the path. The path of continual improvement. We are likely familiar with the syndrome. Seen it, experiencing it or have in in the rearview mirror of life. But for clarity, it is a case of a person doubting their accomplishments, or skills. As martial artists, we are not immune to this experience. Welcome to karate skills and the imposter.
Seattle to Boston and The Cure
A personal example of how this can show-up in life. How a culture from home and family can be the beginning of a healthy orientation in the world. And also, how when applied too much, by one’s own choice, can be a poor direction. The result so this over-rotation can set a person on a tangent. That tangent can be a not so good path. Then a guy from Boston shuts down the Imposter Syndrome at a break moment and the rest is left in the dust.
We are never 100% prepared for our promotion. A martial arts promotion for a new belt, or a promotion at work. The Idea is about potential, not about the present skills. Of course, competency is essential, but the potential is the driver of the day. The imposter is not going to shape your karate or your work.
The Movie, Shane
The 1953 movie Shane is an example of how a person, even if not a fictional gunfighter has a message for us all. We take a dive into the relationship between the protagonist, Shane, and the young boy, Joey. This is an exchange is an example of owning what you have earned. And owning it in a healthy manner. It is only seven words uttered my Shane that demonstrates this owning.
The movie is about how one might start thinking about facing the imposter syndrome. This position, or posture and how it bleeds into karate skills and the imposter.
Here is a link to a clip from the movie Shane. If you enjoy Westerns, this movie is for you. If you enjoy stories about doing the right thing even when it cost you, then this is a movie for you.
Putting a Bow on Karate Skills and The Imposter
