Title: The training that I don’t compare anybody
I took the training class of Capoeira for the first time in 8 months. It brought a muscle pain of my back, blood blister in my soles of foots next day. The trainer and members knew my lost motivation but they didn’t (2)bring up it to me. So I didn’t feel an uncomfortable atmosphere and pressure of stranger so much. Although I felt myself (4)behind the times when I couldn’t catch up the similar movement with members. Among 8 months I’ve been continuing training myself but it did not help to (3)brush up on my Capoeira skills. I disappointed a little but my feeling is completely calm because my aim isn’t against somebody. A quiet feeling (1)brought about recognition of difference the conscious and reality of myself. The passion was gone, unfortunately. (or, it may be, fortunately?) My lost motivation of Capoeira (5)broke out last spring without notice. It was uncanny and unpredictable for me, so I struggled about it first. but I finally gave up to resist the change. However, I’d like to continue it once a month in order to keep good health and brain condition if it possible.
