It's Louse Time! Repetition vs Modeling

If you're new to my list of focused, motivated, self-starters, Welcome.

(if you're not new jump right away to today's lesson below)

Every day I communicate to you the best ways to train and the kind of mindset it takes to get results either in your physical fitness or martial art training.

Friday is always what I call: "Louse Time". Modeled after Bruce Lee's strategy in Enter the Dragon. You know that part where he's having tea with the government agent but he's disturbed by one of his students and Bruce Lee tells the agent: It's Louse Time!

The agent replies with his British accent: "yes of course". Since I'm 6 years old that scene has always stuck with me and I'll be using that same strategy with YOU every week.

Friday is where I share with you Life Lessons and Direction given to me by my dad (and Sifu) every Friday.

Today's lesson is: Repetition vs Modeling

These 2 methods will certainly get you to where you want to go.

You may need to do both.

But you don't have to.

One method leads you down a solemn road of trial and error, set-backs, frustration, pain, and hard work.

The other method, the superior method gets you the same results in half the time. All you have to do is follow the plan and whatever you're looking for is within your grasp.

Results come quickly and makes you wonder why you didn't follow this method in the first place.

You've guessed it.

Modeling is the preferred method for accelerated learning. Certainly, the old saying of:

"Repetition is the mother of skill" holds some merit but modeling someone who already has what you want and in turn mimicking exactly what they did to get it is a guaranteed winner.

This weekend you'll have the opportunity to do just that.

All of our school owners, Sifus and students are converging in Casselman this Saturday morning at 10:30 am for a day of training and advanced learning.

This event is open to all FSD Students and non students alike.

Why should you attend?

We try to organize these kinds of events as many times as possible throughout the year but still, it's not enough.

Very seldomly will you have all of FSD's Top instructors, not to mention our Founder Sijo Jacques Patenaude all present in the same venue to help you advance your skills in Weapons, Grappling, Energy Work, Trapping Hands, Conditioning and Athleticism, Sanshou Sparring Drills and the list goes on.

Priced at 30$, it's a no-brainer.

Have a Great Day?

Have a great day!

No, No, No.

Have a great year!

Again, no, no, no.

Have a great decade!

Sorry, no!

I want a great LIFE!

Whatever road you're on right now in your life, is it the right one?

Are you happy and fulfilled?

Only you can answer that question.

As a starting point I strongly believe you should first find out what you love to do (my father takes it a step further and asks what you were BORN to do) and make a living from it. This way work doesn't feel like work at all and most of your time is spent on creation and developing new products your customers can use.

I wanted to give you a heads up today about major improvements and new products being released very shortly at FSD Central.

With over 30 new titles coming to the products section I still wanted your opinion on what you would like to see covered in our extensive martial art library. Let me know which product would best help you improve your skills and I'll get right on it to produce it for you.

Thank you for taking the time to answer and sharing your thoughts.

Master Yourself,

Sibok M

P.S. You don't have to be a student of FSD to answer. Many people are on my list from different backgrounds and have various goals in the martial arts and about fitness in general. Your feedback is appreciated.

Getting fit again after cancer

It's e-mails like these that really inspire me to do what I do:

----------
Dear Sifu Martin,

First, I would like to tell you how much I love my training with you guys. I only train once a week, and I missed a lot of training days due to my health.

But what I'll tell you right now is that, in only that little amount of time of training I saw so much improvement in myself.

As you know I have been through cancer treatments last year and that is really hard to over come, especially to get fit again. 3 months after my treatments for cancer I tried to pass the PREP test for Policing, but was not able to make it...at all.

Now, about 1 month ago I miss the obstacle part only by .16sec.

This is really great for me to see how much I improved and that tells me that the next time I go, for sure I'll pass it. With your training and my devotion to follow my dream in becoming part of the Ottawa Police Recruit, I know that I'll make it.

Again, thank you for your time and I'll be seeing you all soon.
