I would like to thank this month's contributors to the newsletter for taking the time to write articles and help spread some knowledge around. I find it a bit disheartening, though, to see so few articles in this month's edition. Some would say that their time is better spent training. I, however, see this endeavor as a sort of training exercise. By reflecting on and articulating an experience, or kata, or training exercise, you learn more from it. You gain value from the experience and others share in your knowledge. I encourage all of you to write your training experiences down — whether or not they are to be published. It will help you gain deeper insight into your training, and may even help you to improve.

See you in May.
