Changing Focus

I have found that what I want from my martial arts training is changing as I get older.

In my teens and early twenties, my training was focused on being strong and being able to hit hard.

The next stage was based on becoming a more well rounded martial artist. This included incorporating grappling and weapon training into the mix.

Now my training is focused my health and fitness and improving my existing skill set.

I must admit however, this focus is not stopping me from the Iaido and Shinkage Ryu that I am doing while I am in Japan. (^_^)

Training Tip

When is the last time you trained away from your normal dojo/kwoon?

If it's been a while or never, try some training at the beach, in a park or on some sloping ground etc.

The change is usually fun, good for your motivation and you can learn a lot about you and your art.

Enjoy!!!
