If The People Around You Aren’t Saying, “What The Hell?!,” You Aren’t Training Right.  

As a teenager and adult I always found myself training to the extent that I did not have a certain place, time, or day that I would dedicate to excelling in my craft. I would do it when ever the time made itself available. Therefore I would train daily in opportune or inopportune locations.

I could be walking, sitting, driving, or watching television. I always find a way to squeeze training into what I’m doing. You are probably wondering how you can squeeze in training while you drive?… Easy, when it rains wind shield wipers can be used to practice your timing when anticipating your opponent’s movement. I will talk about this in depth, during a future Master Class. You will be amazed how your speed will increase, even if you think you are a slow mover.

Anyway, the friends, family members, and strangers I am around are always saying, what the hell?! If people are not saying that around you, you are not putting the hours into mastering the thing you love. You must be consumed by it in order to advance and leave everyone else in that field behind. If you look at Instagram, Facebook, or Tik Tok, you see someone doing the same thing you do, way better than you did it. Then you scroll on and each video in the same arena gets better and better. You realize how small your talent is if you do not immerse yourself in the activity to trump everyone else. It will be a very humbling experience. I do not know how the majority of minds work out there, but the more I practice something, the more unique I get in it. Things that people never thought about will come to me, because my brain has embodied what I have been practicing and just starts to create a new thing. I am really no different than you though, you just have to have passion for what you are doing. Take it everywhere you go and get creative on how to implement it into your day.

To get the spark that you need to ignite this way of thinking and being, sign up to the A.O.M.A. family and take advantage of the course, Learn the Basics of Martial Arts. Or you can join our monthly membership program, where many are saving 23% on the cyclic courses being offered. It is a wise thing to take these courses in the order that I have laid out, because the previous course sets you up for the following course.
