Follow Through No Matter What

Another great training today.

As you know Wednesday is my TWB Day: "Train With Brothers Day".

Training with Brothers and special guest Bob Wall

It should also be your goal to find some sort of support in your training.

Some say and I would have to agree, that this is the # 1 reason why so many people stop following their training programs.

There just wasn't any support when it was needed.

It starts by missing one day, then 2, next thing you know you haven't trained in 6 months.

I'm a strong believer in self-motivation, it really has to come from within you but in the beginning stages, having a friend or training partner will do wonders when it comes to developing the habit of training.

As I'm sure you already know, when you're in the middle of your workout you're happy, training feels good and there's no other place you would want to be.

You might find yourself having a moment of weakness BEFORE you start your training.

Learn to recognize that voice and ignore it. Just get started, get moving and everything should get real quiet.

If you've experienced this sudden negative self-talk before training, you're not alone.

We're all basically lazy. Remember that your body will do anything you ask of it, run a marathon, walk on fire, punch through bricks, jump out of a plane, etc.

The difference between someone who sticks with it compared to someone who doesn't just boils down to FOCUS.

Focus on where you want to be, accept what needs to be done, follow through no matter what, and make no excuses.

P.S. Through our martial art schools it becomes very easy for our students to find support when they most need it. If you aren't training yet you can get started here.

What if Marion Dewar practiced martial arts?

As you might of read Marion Dewar, ex-mayor of Ottawa, fell on her face in Toronto and died from internal bleeding, she was 80 years old.

I ask myself could it of been prevented?

Are the skills you're learning in martial arts more valuable than you think they are?

Hopefully, if you're like me, your martial art consists of balance training, agility training, body awareness training, focus training, proprioception training, senses development, and break-falls.

All common drills we practice in FSD.

Like I've written in the past, martial art training is more than something you do for a few months and call it quits.

A simple break-fall could of saved her life, a technique that can be learned in a few minutes.

I understand the reality that we all get older. But you can choose HOW you age. You can invest in PREVENTION.

Learning skills that can help prevent all too common accidents when you get older.

If you're not already training, you need to get to work now.

The training I was mentioning earlier is just a glimpse of what you'll learn in our schools.

Mastering yourself takes on a whole other meaning when tragic things happen to good people,
