Get ready for our 2nd Annual October Challenge!
At its core, martial arts training is about building good habits. Practice and repetition of our self-defense moves builds muscle memory and enhanced reaction skills. Improving our fitness and cardiovascular health builds endurance and strength both for self-defense and for more advanced and complex movements and forms. Building a regular practice provides life-long and life-changing benefits, including improving focus, balance, coordination, self-regulation, and so much more. In our Five Animals Rules, this is the self-discipline of the Dragon that we are all striving for.
It takes time, commitment, and support to build good habits, so let's work on building them together as a community! We've got some sweet rewards to help you "kick off" this challenge, and we thank the folks at Confections Bakery for partnering with us to provide some fun treats.
Want a little more motivation? This month's blog features a fabulous interview with Senior Master Lisa on a podcast called Coachable Players. Don't miss it!
We can do hard things — TOGETHER!
