The Mountain of Training At Home
We have had such a blast interacting with our students before, during and after our Virtual Training sessions on Zoom. This has helped us learn so much together. That includes a large issue for many of us which is overcoming the challenge of training at home. If you have ever conquered this mountain, then you know how difficult it can be.
Personally I am experiencing that too. I am used to keeping track of my days based on my morning Private Lesson schedule. Those are the days I go in early to the school and crush several workouts before I even start teaching. In order to find a solution to this, I turned to a quote we have been discussing from Bruce Lee the founder of our Jeet Kune Do (JKD).
He said, “You see, ultimately all type of knowledge simply means self- knowledge. You must look for truth yourself and directly experience every minute detail for yourself.”
Using this as a guiding point I spent some time reflecting and I found the answer. As I looked back across my 35 years in the marital arts, I realized I have taught and trained at many different locations. These have included tennis courts, garages, city parks, and even doctor’s offices. None of these were professional martial art schools and yet people still joined in the fun to train with us. Why? Because there are no four walls that can contain the heart and drive that we offer with Martial Way Legacy. I use the term “we” not for the instructors; but for the students. You see students are what make a school and where ever the students are is where the school exists.
That means you don’t need the four walls of a location to train. You can train in your living room, garage, back yard, park or anywhere you want. You have the freedom to explore and take your training to all new levels by changing your environment every day. Where you go… Martial Way Legacy goes too.
So you see you are both the spark and the fire. You are both the fuel source and the flame. You are the the school and the school is you. Start today or better yet, start training right now. Yes, right this second. Go for a walk, stretch, shadow box or practice your footwork. Pick one thing and just go! Get after it and have fun with the blessings and lessons that this time is giving us.
