TSM Hsingi A was held on May 18th, and the first thing we were told was that it was going to be really tough.

When you are told that it is going to be a really hard course, plus you may have had a bit of a bad week, what does that do to your attitude?

I can say this much that the attitude of most people was not very good. But was it that hard?
Physically, no. But mentally yes. One's ability to learn is only optimal when one's attitude is optimal, and that was something we spent a lot of time on on the course. Another thing we also learned on this course is that you have to stand by what you have learned, and if there are some who say otherwise and start pressuring you, then you still have to stand by it. It was something Bertran was allowed to try, where we were asked to surround him and stare him down, but he ended up being praised for standing by his claim, as it was right.

TSM Hsingi B was then held on June 8, this time it was a little harder physically because it was about making power discharges, but again an hour and a half was spent on having the right attitude from the start, and being 100 % on from the start, where we also had to drive for three things:
Power. Precision. Speed. And also according to the THANKS, MINE, CT principles.

On Friday comes TSM Hsingi C, where I want to have the right attitude from the start, and also follow the TAK MITT CT principles from the start, and it's exciting what will happen there.
