The new year is officially under way.
What you do today will set the tone for the rest of the year.
Are you ready?
As you know, if you repeat the same thing you did last year and you've planned on doing the same this year expecting a different result, you're out of your mind!
I'm still sore from my January 1st workout which is good feedback from my body that I'm doing something right.
The same goes for you.
You need to upgrade.
Upgrade your skills and upgrade your workouts so you can expand your potential.
If you've been training consistently with the Basic and Intermediate Training Kits I strongly recommend you get started on the Advanced Station Training Kit.
These are 160 exercises that are designed to build upon what you've mastered in the previous 2 kits.
As martial artists what do we all strive to be?
Faster, Stronger, Tougher and more Flexible right?
To master your body in such a way that you can be competitive in any sport you undertake.
To live your life pain free or to possess a system to rehabilitate an injury if one occurs.
And ultimately, increase the confidence that comes from having a strong mind and body and injecting it into everything you undertake.
Set things up so you win this year.
Get your hands on the Advanced Station Kit and watch your results soar in the areas of physical fitness.
Master Yourself,
Sibok Martin
P.S. To make things even easier to get started this year we've included a 2 payment option on the advanced kit, available through this week by using this special link: 2 payment option
Empowering students with the skills and knowledge to increase confidence, fitness, and personal safety.

Best prices for kettlebells
Yesterday we held our Kubotan and Kettlebell Combo Seminar.
It's always a pleasure to work with dedicated students who take their training very seriously and show a genuine interest in improving themselves.
One weapon you must learn to use is the pencil size kubotan stick. It's legal. It's small and easily concealed. When applied in the correct pressure points will make any grown man scream for his mommy. Knowing you have it on you during a big concert, late at night or walking over to your car in an unattended parking lot is very reassuring.
It's also comforting to know you don't need to have it on you. A pencil, pen, keys, cell phone can be used similarly to protect yourself. Certainly not the flashiest of weapons, it holds its place in some of the most effective self-protection weapons available today.
From small tools like the Kubotan to BIG ones like the Kettlebells.
Kettlebells are a wonderful way to build grip strength, core strength, balance, body awareness, finesse, and skill.
To know how to move weight through space is an important element of being a martial artist.
Weighing in between 8 to 105 pounds, kettlebells can be twisted, lifted, turned and thrown in a variety of ways to train sport specific exercises or to re-habilitate an injured shoulder or back.
A perfect compliment to our already ultra efficient strength training system, kettlebells offer a progressive strength evolution. In order to build strength you need to constantly increase the level of resistance or weight you are moving.
How does kettlebells compare to standard weight machines?
The best way to explain it is kettle bells feel that much more alive. You need to constantly adjust and stabilize yourself, helping you use the whole body as one unit to perform the various exercises.
Compared to a machine where it isolates one particular muscle group and we all know that doesn't help you develop functional, useable power.
Your body needs to work as one unit, involving all muscle groups to kick in, if it's going to perform at a peak level.
If you're in the market to purchase kettlebells we're completing a big order right now and want to extend the savings to you.
Kettlebells are either not available at the local fitness store or way to expensive after you factor in shipping expenses.
If you find some for sale, they'll range between 112$ and 149 $ for a standard 36 pds kettlebell.
Ours are priced at 99$ and you can pick them up at any of our schools. You could actually make a profit re-selling them to the stores in your area, that's how cheap they are.
But I need to know by the end of the week. Send me an e-mail at montreal@fangshendo.com with your order and I'll arrange to place the order for you.
Until next time,
Master Yourself,

Hand, Forearm, strength and flexibility
When you're training for martial arts or any other sport you have to maintain an equilibrium between strength and flexibility.
You also have to train every part of your body. Just like Arnold Schwarzenegger explains in the 1977 movie Pumping Iron.
Although I have no aspiration to be as big as he once was, there's a part where he talks about "Symmetry".
In his thick accent he says something like: "If I add an inch on my arms I have to add an inch to my calves, an inch to my..." and on and on he goes.
Now what does that mean for a Martial Artist?
It can mean the same thing in your physical development or from a combat stand point, you have to keep everything in balance from punching to kicking, weapons to wrestling, and in your personal development, confidence to humility, fear to reason, success to contribution.
You have to think of your body and mind as one working unit.
One part doesn't function without the other.
Students often ask how I developed my forearms.
Before I get into that let's talk about why YOU should develop your forearms.
1. Mass + Speed = Lots of power!
As you might know, muscle is heavier than fat. The heavier your arm, the more momentum it can create while in movement, therefore inflicting more damage when you strike. It becomes like a "battering ram".
2. Stronger holds and chokes.
Without strong hands and forearms, your throws, locks and trapping skills are useless.
There are many things I do to develop forearm strength and flexibility.
One of the main tools I use is the Stick. When you move a weapon at 100 + km/h the g-force applied on your hands and forearms is quite remarkable and no wonder, helps in the development of those 2 body parts.
To know exactly what I mean, you need to feel it for yourself. Pick up my stick training program
to increase forearm definition, strength and flexibility.
