Actor Growth

So today while attending my martial arts class for one reason or another it actually crossed my mind that it might be better to find an additional place to train at within a different art that would complement each other. As of now I try to attend the current place I go to as much as possible and it kind of works with my schedule.

However, recently I felt that I haven’t been really growing/learning as much as I would like skill wise considering I probably go there way more than an average person and feel that I am not being pushed to my potential. Although, I have only been there for one and half months, so maybe I am being a bit too ambitious. Another person that I normally train with privately on the weekends is on a semi-vacation to add to the situation. I definitely don’t learn this for acting purposes like what many would do too when it comes to martial arts and are into the film business.

But essentially, as I mentioned before my schedule can be really spontaneous where one week it’s like I have all the time in the world and the next week I would need to shut myself out to nothing but work. Therefore, everyday I am trying to do much as possible to maximize my time. Of course, I can’t expect any of these martial arts schools to accommodate just for my own unique situation nor would I expect them to, so as a result I am going to start looking again.

One funny thing too is that another school I was debating about before happens to focus more on the glamour style of martial arts and by the looks of it they may have the best fit schedule wise for me where I can easily alternate between the two schools depending on what my day looks like. While I don’t really want to learn something of this nature just for film, I guess the conditioning you go through is beneficial in general.

So, let the hunting begin. I’ll probably contact a few places in the next few days to see what my options are. Who knows, I guess there is a possibility that a new place would enthusiastically want to accommodate to my needs and situation. Would be a good way to equally compare the two to evaluate which one is best overall.
