I've always found that when I'm practicing martial arts and struggling to understand a concept or technique that the thing that is usually holding me back is often the thing that I needed to learn the most. The little things that it took for to overcome the obstacle made me stronger and eventually helped me realize my goal and better understand a concept or technique. There is a zen proverb that says that the obstacle is the path and as you study martial arts this becomes more and more true. Don't let obstacles knock you down, strike them first.
