Seasons

As the calendar shifts us over into a new season, we find ourselves shifting over our own priorities and points of focus. Mentally, we find ourselves in a new season. This 'changing of the seasons' should also occur in our paths towards martial arts mastery. We cannot let ourselves get stuck in summer and focus on only one aspect of training. Whether it be application, internal development, forms and the art, self defense, or physical development to become well rounded and progress to our fullest potential we must also shift like the seasons.

Now, take a look at you current focus, are you training the exact same way you were six months ago? How has it aided in your overall progression? Now look at how other aspects can and will improve your training if you expanded your mind and took another approach.

If you find yourself stumped as to how you can supplement your training or 'shift seasons' seek out your instructor for advice. They have weathered many seasons and know the best ways to relate their findings.

Welcome to autumn......
