To expand on the above, in stage 0 my confidence felt more stable, I felt comfortable for example with my training partners and such. On stage 1 i've been just feeilng fucking awkward with them, other than the few days after starting stage 1 feeling awkward in general.
And also another weird thing. Since starting stage 1 I suddenly feel like my martial arts skills are shit and even my training partners seem like they aren't as skilled. It's almost like my perception is different, my first thought is that stage 1 is increasing the 'standard' for different things, and looking at it from there things suddenly aren't matching up, where before I could see we had a good level of development.
I'm not sure, but those are my thoughts.
