When we talk to parents about their motive for bringing their child in to try out our programs, one of the #1 things we get asked about helping with is confidence. Parents often feel that their kiddo is too shy and they worry that this lack of self-esteem is going to cause them problems making friends and […]
Time is the one resource that almost all humans are equal in. There are only 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365 days in a year. While some people’s lives do get cut short, the time that we are given is equal to all. Five minutes to me is five […]
Every person alive have moments where they achieve something noteworthy. Perhaps is a college degree, an executive-level position, or finding success in your dream job. Maybe you written a book or created a small business that is successful beyond your wildest dreams? It seems like those moments should be the happiest of our lives, […]
Being a martial artist who’s trained for over 20 years, meditation has and continues to play a major role in my life. Although a bit difficult to initially get into, it has proven invaluable and has helped me overcome many obstacles in my life that I’m not sure how I would’ve overcome otheriwse. All […]
I can’t speak for everyone else, but there is a significant difference between a night full of restful sleep and a night where that wasn’t possible. Even an hour or two less than normal can make the day so much more difficult and overwhelming. As such, we treasure our time in bed since it allows […]
Very few of us are strangers to the toxicity that our minds like to create during our lives; negative thoughts can be a real drag. They can consume our minds and hold us back from reaching our potential. They can make us feel anxious, stressed, depressed, and keep us from experiencing joy and happiness in […]
It happens to even the best of people. Maybe it’s chores to be done, work to complete, or maybe its a long-term dream of yours that’s been put off for years. In any case, none of these tasks are important to you at this time. The day has been long and your stress levels are […]
I can already hear you asking: “This is a martial arts school. What does this particular topic have to do with martial arts?” Quite a bit, actually. True martial arts is about conquering our inner demons – learning to find balance in a world full of chaos. Sometimes that balance comes from disciplined decisions, such […]
People are not always the best when it comes to relating to each other. I know that I oftentimes will look at things that my fellow humans are doing and ask myself “what the hell was that?” Despite this, I think all humans understand that there are a couple of fundamental forces in life that […]
The concept of ‘ranks’ in martial arts is actually one I find intriguing. Martial arts is one of the only sports in the world to use a visible ‘ranking’ system. Why is that? I’ve never seen a group of shaolin monks training with a belt on, so where did this system come from and what is […]
Check out one of our other recent blogs by clicking here! As an adult, I’ve become a big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Something that is interesting in hindsight, since I was never a fan of American superheroes or comics growing up. Something about the way they tell the stories in the MCU and […]
In order improve ourselves, in any form, we must first look within, and find a desire and passion to learn. Many people’s reaction to the idea of having to ‘learn’ something is usually not positive. This is fairly understandable, since we spend most of our childhood years being forced to learn many things that we aren’t necessarily […]
Almost every person has a list of things they would change about themselves if they could. Maybe you wish you were more fit, or smarter, or not such a perfectionist? There are hundreds of traits that describe each person. While some are good, others are not. If I had to sum up martial arts in […]
Routine is difficult to establish, especially in the beginning. If you ask anyone who has created a successful routine for themselves, they will tell you that falling out of sync now and again is inevitable. They will also tell you that whether or not you fall off doesn’t matter – what’s important is that you […]
There are two permanent limits that every human’s productivity is restricted by, and they are not impacted by whether you’re wealthy, poor, smart, or dumb: #1 is we all have 24 hours in a day, and #2 (which we’ll be talking about today) is that each of us can only retain so much information at […]
