…..You know if you wish to be good in the Martial Sciences you just cannot stop training.  Sure the body can a have a little break here and there but in reality if you wish to keep your skills and improve you need to constantly keep training.  In other words you simply cannot be lazy.  Look at the worlds greatest athletes.  This is pretty easy right now because the Olympics is going on.  Every day they get up early and head to training, every day.  They only get a break once in awhile.  In order to be the very best that they can be they have to train religiously and mentally be strong enough to do so.  How many times have any of us seen someone with great athletic talent only quit or not really put forth the effort because they were mentally weak.  In the Martial Sciences if you wish to be at your best you just can never stop and you must continually train through out your life.  Because if you stop your skills erode.  That means simply that if you take a break your skill set also starts to take a break, you do not grow or really your skills start to drop off in a big way.  Through out the years I have had a student or two take a break only to come back a year later and realize that they are way behind and that their skills are simply not the same.  You just can never stop training in the Martial Sciences and expect for your skills to stay where they are.

See You On The Mats!
