Progression
Through repetition and progression of the belt levels you will become a very skilled fighter. You will gain confidence and ideally see the world through the lens of a skilled fighter rather than an insecure person who lashes out from fear.
One of the major benefits of training in the martial arts, if you train with the right mindset, is you will dissolve insecurities. We all have them. It’s really a matter of to what degree.
Regular weekly practice will be a great tool for “discharging” pent up energy stuck in your nervous system. Pent up energy comes from the stresses in life and the meaning we have made about experiences since we were born. The bi-product of this phenomenon is more awareness, more presence, and better results in your life.
Over time, and with enough practice, you find yourself refining your craft more and more.
Ideally, after six months to a year you will have a regular meditation practice.
A huge side benefit of a meditation practice is you learn to “disconnect” from your ego and self identification.
Self identification with our past experiences is at the root of all our life problems. It IS the cause of suffering.
You are much bigger than your accumulated experiences. Through, self awareness, your weekly martial arts practice and daily reflections, you may begin to see the people you spar with in slow motion. Yes, I said slow motion.
Now, this doesn’t just come because you practice every day or a few times a week. It’s a combination of lifestyle, practice, and how much emotional baggage you’ve identified with in your physical body - and let go of.
In the Martial Arts Basics program, I will show you a very simple way to accomplish this.
