New Years Resolutions

Here we go…. It’s time for the resloutions!!

What’s the most common New Years Resolution?? With over 50% of the vote….. GET IN SHAPE!!

What does that mean? Have you ever thought about “ Getting in shape” Being mental as well as physical?

How do you plan on doing that? I might be biased, but I would suggest Martial Arts…

Martial arts is something that you can do for the rest of your life in some shape or form. And It will help keep you in shape. There is something called the 10,000 hour rule. It simply states that it can take 10,000 hours to master a skill. Albeit, that is a general rule to go by. But even as a general rule, give or take a couple thousand hours, that’s a lot of exercise!! What happens during that training is the magic.

When you look back after just one month of training, you will notice that physically your stamina and strength are growing. You can pick up the pace and you’re not quite as winded as you were in the beginning. But just as important, mentally you will be more focused and feel better about yourself. Just imagine how you’ll feel at month two? And after one year of training, you are a different person!! If you push yourself, you will be in much better shape physically and mentally. You are a tougher stronger, and in most cases, better and more relaxed version of your former self. And just as, if not more important you will have developed the skills to defend yourself. With everything that has gone on in the past few years with the pandemic and so many people behaving at their worst, the importance of that can’t be overstated..

So if you’re considering a New Year Resolution, I’d suggest you give martial arts training a shot. I can guarantee that you won’t be disappointed…
