New Fitness Workouts: The Dumb Plan

Lots of magazines these days are touting the "Easy, No will power required, no sweat, no exercise" Health Regimes.

Really?

Add "Eat anything" and flop on the couch too while you're at it.

I don't know about you but reading that kind of crap makes me feel sorry for the man or woman who wants to get in shape and ends up following a stupid plan like the one outlined above.

What's alarming to me is that some people do believe it.

Even if it did work and you got rid of all your unwanted body fat by doing nothing, what would you look like on the inside?

Following what we'll call from now on the "Dumb Plan", you would have the ILLUSION of Health.

Choosing to exercise and lose weight and gain muscle the old fashion way does much more than burn fat and make you look good.

It strengthens your organs.

It fully oxygenates the blood stream.

It lowers blood pressure.

It improves your mood by releasing feel good endorphins.

It makes you focus.

It creates new neural pathways.

It improves memory.

It raises your energy level.

It improves blood flow throughout your body.

It improves body awareness and motor skills.

And the list goes on and on.

Why would you want to get fit and healthy any other way than the traditional way?

Training has always been for me to maximize my potential. To make sure my body and mind, my machine is functioning like it was intended. Being lean and fit is only a by-product of this endeavor. I choose to stay and walk on the path of Self-Mastery.

Will you join me?

Feel Your Way To Weapon Training Success

We just completed our last seminar of the year, it was held at our Ottawa Kung Fu School.

Whenever students work with weapons a funny thing happens.

Something "clicks".

Maybe it was a certain footwork or technique they were struggling with and suddenly through weapons training it finally makes sense.

Why is that?

A few reasons.

When you're working with weapons you have to rely on feeling.

Things like keeping momentum, leverage, and following through.

By paying attention to the weapon you have no choice but to pay attention to other areas of your body.

Also you'll find that if something feels not "right", there's no choice but to improve how you move your feet or transfer your weight. It can also mean you're not twisting the body correctly or your mental focus is off.

Nunchaku Training can greatly improve you coordination.

When you're working with a weapon like the Nunchaku, you have to find balance between your left and right hand, you have to become ambidextrous.

Now imagine how much better you can complete combinations, locks, chokes, and move other weapons with greater ease.

Weapons training brings about a better sense of Body Awareness and sharpens your mind.


This can be transfered in other things you do like brushing your teeth with your left hand, as well as eating.

You can also play other sports on your weaker side like hockey or tennis or even playing pool.

Doing all of the above is good for your brain, it forces it to make new connections and makes it that more efficient.

What are you waiting for, master a weapon.

It will definitely cut down your learning curve and gives you something to practice when you don't have a training partner.
