Last week we heard from our Sensei.
This week, it's the turn of one of our members, Tristan. Tristan is the owner and founder of Conscious Core (https://www.facebook.com/share/1Cx1RkTb4q/) which focuses on human well being.
We asked him:
πͺπππ§ ππ’ π¬π’π¨ πππ§ π’π¨π§ π’π π§π₯πππ‘ππ‘π π‘ππ£π£π’π‘ πππ π£π’?
His answer:
βFrom a members perspective it teaches you self realisation, self defence and energy flow.
Developing a mind body connection, self control and inner peace.
Its a true martial art, with the teachings carrying on outside of the training ground.
Its not about being better than others in life but becoming a better version of yourself.
Giving an understanding in how to control one's emotions and impulses and channeling them into proactive manners.β
That's a pretty good description of what martial arts can become when you take the lessons beyond the Dojo.
Nippon Kempo isn't simply about learning techniques.

We asked our members and Sensei a simple question:
πͺπππ§ ππ’ π¬π’π¨ πππ§ π’π¨π§ π’π π§π₯πππ‘ππ‘π π‘ππ£π£π’π‘ πππ π£π’?
This was Sensei Hamilton's answer:
βAs club manager and senior coach, it has now become the realisation of a club development plan I had set out in 1977 when Luther began the formation of the London club and later the UK association of Nippon Kempo.
What I got from club training was the motivation from members sharing similar goals.β
For Sensei, that has meant much more than simply learning how to fight.

Nearly 50 years on from the beginnings of that journey, the development of the club continues.
And that's one of the things that makes Nippon Kempo different.

Last Friday, the Liverpool Nippon Kempo Club got together for our end-of-season meal at Myra Mediterranean
With no regular training during August, it was a great opportunity to get everyone together away from the Dojo, have some good food and, of course, plenty of conversation! π₯
Nippon Kempo isn't just about what happens during training. It's also about the people you train with, the friendships you build and becoming part of a club and a wider martial arts community.
A big thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it a great evening. Hamilton De Gale Mark Winterson Tristan Blevins Lewis De Gale Philip Nam Kelly Morris

Understanding the Battlefield of the Mind
The "Battlefield of the Mind" for martial artists refers to the mental challenges and internal struggles they encounter during their training and practice. This concept emphasizes the significance of mental clarity, focus, and emotional control.
Key Aspects of the Battlefield of the Mind
Mental Clarity: Martial artists must maintain a clear mind to make quick decisions during training and combat. Clarity helps in assessing situations accurately and responding effectively.
Focus: Concentration is crucial. Distractions can lead to mistakes, so martial artists train to enhance their focus, ensuring they remain present in the moment.
Emotional Control: Managing emotions is vital. Fear, doubt, and anxiety can hinder performance. Martial artists learn to control these emotions, allowing them to perform at their best.
Overcoming Internal Struggles
The journey involves overcoming personal doubts and fears. This internal battle is as significant as physical training, as it shapes a martial artist's character and resilience.
Conclusion
In summary, the Battlefield of the Mind highlights that true mastery in martial arts is not just about physical prowess but also about conquering one's mental barriers. This holistic approach fosters growth, discipline, and self-discovery, essential for any martial artist.
