How long to persist with ineffective parts of your game plan?

Deciding when to abandon a technique that isn't working is crucial. If you've been persistently trying to improve a move for about three months without success, it may be time to consider letting it go. This period allows for adequate testing and refinement, including trying it against lower-level practitioners to see if it can be effective. If the technique still doesn't work, it might not be suitable for your unique physical attributes, mental approach, or strategic style. It's important to recognize that not every move will fit into your game, and it's okay to focus on your strengths and what works best for you. Embrace the techniques that align with your natural abilities and game plan, rather than forcing those that cause discomfort or have a low success rate.
