TRAINING GOOD SO FAR/VICTORIA DAY

Good Morning

Well so far the training for my 6th degree black belt is going well. Starting out slowly and will build up the intensity as time goes on. This way I don’t burn myself out early and I can peak at the right moment. Proper training is really a fine tuned science that you have to learn very carefully. Going through three 40 hour black belt gradings I have learned what works and what does not work. What beats your body up and what doesn’t. I know what it’s like to be at the breaking point then push beyond it to new limits.

I feel really good right now because preparing for my next grading gives me a new set of goals and a focus to work towards. Having focus and goals is important when one wants to work on mastery of anything they do.

Also we will be closed on Monday May 23rd for Victoria Day. No regular classes. However we will be doing the annual team building day for the 2016 Black Belt Candidates. This is an opportunity for the candidates to work on their testing requirements together as well as learn to be leaders.

VICTORIA DAY WEEKEND

Just a friendly reminder that this Monday is Victoria Day so there will be no regular classes except for kettle bells at 8:30am and Black Belt Team Building at 9:30am.

Also long weekends are a chance to relax and recharge your batteries. You do not have to go full tilt all the time. Sometimes it is okay to go lighter somedays and harder on other days. It’s all about finding the right balance for you. Everyone is slightly different but we all need a little rest here and there.
