Sweat Now

What you don't sweat out when you're young will turn into tears when you're old.

- Japanese Proverb

We are all huddled and trapped right now. And even though some of us are still training via video conferencing it is difficult to keep our physical activity up, at the level it usually is. Now is an excellent opportunity to build skills that will not only keep us fit but will benefit our Kung Fu training as well!

I believe that the biggest benefit of formal martial arts training is actually the accountability. Every A day of the week you have class at B time. It's fixed, there's no flexibility. That's when it is and it doesn't matter if you are feeling tired etc, that's class time. On our own it's easy to let our training time migrate around, it's easy to get lazy. And - at least for me - once I end up skipping one or two home workouts/practices I end up not doing it at all. My home workouts just stop.

What I've been doing is picking one area focus per day. For example one day would be abs, the next arms, and so forth. Throughout the day, any time I have a moment, I work exercises in that area. This way, even if I end up too busy to set aside a decent amount of time, I at least got SOME exercise in.

If you are interested in learning Kung Fu call us - we are currently training via Zoom, while we are forced to isolate:
