I have not posted a Workout Blog since the New Year (both Western and Eastern New Years). I’ll start posting them randomly just to show that I’m not being lazy.

I will also post on my Youtube Channel exactly how I do some of the more complicated exercises like “Sun Salute Push-Ups” and different variations of 8-counts, 6-counts and what they look like.

In terms of Martial Arts Training at Moving Body Resources:
We will be training in the small studio for the majority of weekends until further notice.

Notes about training:  I want to be clear to everyone that You can only get so much out of training 1 time a week in any martial art style.  Anyone who says otherwise is Lying.

But it’s better to train 1 time a week with a lot of effort than not to train. 
BUT:  If you plan on training 1 time a month or just willy-nilly when you have time… you are not doing yourself or myself any justice. 

I want to be honest and recommend that you join a gym or something that would be more suitable.

Martial art training requires commitment, it’s not and American thing that you can just do for the fun of it.  I have very strong beliefs about this and I do not want to be mistaken about what my beliefs on training are.

I train on my own 7 days a week besides offering 2 group classes a week at Moving Body Resources, it’s a life-long commitment that I’ve made to myself, and something that I am trying to share with others.

Without commitment, it is meaningless training, without commitment your training will be just random movement with no spirit or soul.
