Firewalk this Weekend!

There are many rituals and rites of passage in life and in the martial arts.

Each one holds an important lesson and an opportunity for growth.

One test that we've become pretty fond of is Firewalking.

Why firewalking you might ask?

What does it have to do with martial arts?

Well let me tell you, it has everything to do with martial arts.

Almost every tribe around the world and throughout history has had some kind of fire test for their warriors and teenagers coming into adulthood.

What better opponent than FIRE.

If you can get over the fear of burning, you can tackle any of life's challenges.

Like I've written about before, walking on the fire bed isn't as important as what goes on in your head just before taking that first step.

It will reveal to you how you face most challenging situations. A pattern if you will that needs to be changed or modified.

If you're paying attention to your thoughts, a change can be made on the spot and subsequently when faced with other similar scenarios where fear, hesitation and self-doubt are stopping you from getting what you want and what will make you truly happy, you'll take action and move forward just like what is needed to get across the fire safely.

Like the popular expression: "5 seconds to learn, a lifetime to master"

Getting across the fire takes about that:

5 seconds.

But mastering the skills and the thought process you need to get what you want out of life are things you constantly need to work on. This is life's challenge. This is the reality. You're not always happy, confident and self-motivated. You need to constantly work on it for the rest of your life.

However short it might seem you need to know what happens during that 5 seconds.

It's all happening this weekend on May 16th at 6 pm in Casselman, Ontario.

To register for the event go here. Once you're registered we'll send you all the details of what you need, directions and exact location of the event.

Master Yourself,
