Advocate for Martial Arts

As you might of realized by now I'm a pretty strong advocate for taking up martial art practice.

And for good reason.

I've had superb results in many areas of my life all because I'm a martial artist, specifically, because of the qualities that one develops by practicing the arts.

I assure you the same results are waiting for you.

IF...

And this a big if.

If you find the right school along with the right instructor.

For me personally, the way I was taught was, martial arts was more than just learning how to throw punches and kicks it was a tool you could you use to improve and bring balance in all areas of your life.

This balance should extend to all areas:

Your fitness level and physical appearance.

Your relationship with your spouse, kids and friends.

Your Character and Attitude.

Your level of personal and financial success.

Showing Respect in the highest Form: Self-Respect. Which starts with making the right food choices and treating your body as the priceless possession that it is.

The total package so to speak.

It really is as simple as that.

No need to over-complicate.

Take most people's fitness programs. Alot of people need to always "change it up" so they don't get bored. Or they feel the need to discover the next revolutionary piece of equipment that will get them the results they're after.

But right from the start they're thinking is flawed and the same is true with most people starting martial art practice.

It's not the techniques or the equipment that will get you results. The right thinking will.

This is where the right instructor comes into play.

The right instructor will help instill in you the right values that make everything else possible.

Patience, Respect, Honesty, Commitment, Discipline, Character and Focus.

Arm yourself with these qualities and there's nothing you'll start and not finish.

You can learn all the techniques you want, become proficient using any piece of equipment, all of which can change from time to time. What never changes are the foundational qualities you must acquire to make everything else happen at double the speed with less effort on a consistent basis.

Master Yourself,
