I had gone through the process of ‘Shuhari,’ a concept in traditional Japanese martial arts that describes the stages of learning and mastery. It consists of three phases: Shu (守 - "Protect"): In this stage, the learner follows the teachings of a master without deviation. It involves learning the fundamentals and techniques precisely as taught. Ha (破 - "Detach" or "Break"): In this intermediate stage, the learner starts to break away from tradition. They explore variations, modifications, and adaptations of the learned techniques. This phase encourages creativity and a deeper understanding of the art. Ri (離 - "Leave" or "Transcend"): In the final stage, the learner transcends the teachings and forms their path. They have internalized the principles and are no longer bound by the specific teachings of a master. It's a stage of self-discovery and mastery.   #shuhari #sellingstyle
