So, . . . many our members have been with us now for working on 2 years. This is the time in a students training that they really begin to get a good look at themselves. Having said that, let's stop and break that down a little. When I say that they are beginning to get a good look at themselves, I am not talking about what they see in the physical mirror. We have plenty of those big things hanging around the dojo walls. As a matter of fact we have about 40 feet of them on the front wall. Yes they are there so we can monitor ourselves as we train on the floor. Making sure those backs are straight, knees are bent, hips are pushing forward. Trying to be ever vigilant to focus on all the small things. But during this time, a whole new chapter slowly begins to reveal itself. All martial artists should begin to experience this under the correct instruction of a good teacher. This new chapter is what we begin to define as "Ourselves"
What I mean by this is that hundreds of people every year join different martial arts studios all around the country. Hundreds of them will join and train for a few months, 6 months, some even a year. And for most, its unfortunate that they will get bored, or end their Martial Arts training before they ever realize that they are so close from moving on and discovering one of the most rewarding things that a good Martial Art, and Good Instructor can show them. And that one thing is their own reflection. Now what I mean by saying "Reflection" as I stated before is not their reflection in the dojo mirror on the wall's. But their reflection in what ever martial art they are training in. Like a finger print is unique to each person, so is our shape and effect 0n a martial art. You see one of the most important things that a student will learn is that even though we study and learn a martial art, we ultimately Become a part of the martial art that we are practicing. We as students, actually merge and provide a vessel, Our self, that our particular Martial Art can take shape in and express itself. And we leave a genetic finger print on each art as well. This to me is one of the most rewarding parts to practicing a martial art.
That is embracing all that has been taught, and applying it directly to each of our individual strengths and weaknesses, creating in totality, a better functioning person for the world to benefit from.
More on this next time. Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight.

Cardio was awesome tonight. We had about 16 people on the floor and they were all busting it. The holiday's over and I think there's going to be a lot of sore people in the morning.
