Here I am safe sparring a former Black Belt Karate practitioner. I knew Jin since college and many years have passed since then. He joined my Martial Arts club in college and we used to train back in the day. He gained weight through the years and his body movement is different than it was in the past, but even though he stopped training, the muscle memory is still there, he definitely has not forgotten how to defend himself, you can see it in his movements. I see that when you train in Martial Arts for over a decade, it stays with you, like learning how to ride a bike, like learning how to run, like learning how to drive, like learning how to play billiards, how to shoot a gun, etc. It becomes a part of you, it does not leave you. But if your body has lost it’s athleticism, then the response time increases and that increased response time is what can make you get in trouble. Athleticism does not stay with you without continuous effort, but the technique and form can stay with you forever even without continuous effort.
