Well summer time is here and throughout the years people have come to realize that I enjoy training in all kinds of weather.  Particularly extreme weather. 🙂  During summer it is no different in that I love the heat and the feel of it and seeing how I can perform in it and how those around me can perform in the heat!  Throughout the years I have often found that great growth happens during weather changes and particularly in extreme weather.  However, one thing is for sure people seem to make great growth during the summer months here in Michigan.  That is if they train hard!  When the weather gets nice it is all to often easy to let your training slide and enjoy all of the fantastic things that are going on, ie. beaches, pools, carnivals, fairs, amusement parks, etc.  Those that really try to take their training by the horns and put forth effort seem to make fantastic gains during the summer.  It is not about not enjoying all of the great things going on because you certainly can do that but about continuing your training and keeping up the level of intensity.  There is something about warm weather that our bodies seem to like.  During the summer months I always improve my flexibility and any little aches and pains that I have seem to minimize or go away!  I also seem to enjoy pushing myself and those around me simply to see if they can keep up.  Great martial growth both in attributes and technique is available if you go for it during the summer.  If you are in the pool or at the beach make sure you get a little martial workout in.  Trust me you will not regret it!

See You At The Beach!
