My training partner and I sometimes share the moods we train in as we are usually both relaxed or tenser at the same time. Because we don't have a big group at the moment and we train with each other most of the time, this may affect just us. But.. as with personal emotions, maybe every little thing affects the mood we are train in, too.

As partners affecting each other this may work well, but do you think a bigger training group can also share the mood, and make a collective mood in the training hall? How much do you think the mood affects you and how much can one do to change the mood?

your mood,mood of each partner 100% affects you and your productivity on training.so first of all you should keep all your emotions and problems behind the doorstep.i think that size of a group not realy matter as your inner condition.
we have a prety big group but we change partner 2 or 3 times during training.

When I just started training, we used to keep one partner for the whole duration of the training. Back then I thought it depends on my partner - when I trained with someone I liked, that the training was going better, and vice versa. Little did I know ))))) Gradually I came to think what Pasha just wrote in the previous post - and what SiFu has been teaching us from the first moments of training: my inner state is my starting point, and mastering it is the task #1.

Collective mood, I can feel on myself that it really depends on program which was before training and sometimes also about sleeping the night before. It can easily change my concentration and with concentration is everything away ...

.... Let´s have good mood and good trainings

Actually sometimes people may infect others with their mood during training and it really depends on the other person's willpower to either get influenced or not. If your partner 100% know why he's there and what he wants to achieve, then nothing can change his determination. And when there's lack of motivation, then training partner may afffect the results.

So when I'm in no mood to train, I may start doing something stupid, just to get my partner off track And I don't really feel guilty about it - it's his/her choice to be lead by my foolishness or not

Well, why are you training when you are not in the mood for training, Ira? Thanks. There are crowds of people who do something without knowing why they do it... shouldn't we be the ones to stand out? =)

It's not really a training in determination, it's more like I know that if I skip a lesson, I will fall behind and it willl be harder to get on track next time. Even one missed training and it feels as if I was gone for at least a month!

I have to agree with your discussion. One should leave emotions (good or bad) behind the training hall, I realized that every feeling is not appropriate during the traing. It disturbed at first time my own concentration.

I have different question. What helps you change these? Now I mean mainly negative emotions? We are learning mainly about breathing as a usefull tool. Do you have any other? And for you who are training for a longer time. Do you feel any difference which was caused by the training of Win Chun? If so, when it came?
