I recently started karate and honestly forgot what it feels like to be brand new at something.

I went in thinking basic movements would not be too hard, but coordinating stance, balance, and timing at the same time is way more challenging than I expected. Some days I feel a little awkward doing drills, but I also notice small improvements each class, which keeps me motivated.

For people who have trained longer, did things eventually start to feel natural, or did progress just come slowly over time?
