Self Defense and your practice:
Have you heard of Zombies? Are you one of the living dead........doing karate just for nothing?
No, as far as we know there has been no ACTUAL zombie outbreak (yet)...
But smart self-defense means preparing for the worst. Unfortunately most of you do not practice self defense techniques taught in class at all, I am I correct?
“Why train for something that might never happen? Why not focus on more realistic scenarios?”
Because if we are even 90% confident in true Karate-Do and its Survival skills, then everything else life might throw at us should be a piece of cake by comparison! That's what the training is all about. Not because we might get in to a physical fight someday.
We have fun with training,..... OK may not be always, (you are right....it may be hard at times) but the training is NO JOKE.
However, to keep you both safe and stress-free, even among the walking dead.........
Of course, all this training is great for defense against the living, too...lol
But this is the time of the Undead!
And we want our students to be prepared to handle any situation / all creatures of the night!.
You have to learn to like and enjoy whatever you do; then, "the motivation" is not that much of a big deal.
Please practice( daily) everything taught, listen to every word said in training to develop and train your mind and body alike.
Show me reasons to teach you more and more..... that I know now.... and things I learn in the future.
That means-please don't be a living dead.
Keep reading....
