…..Through out the years I have known quite a few martial practitioner’s.  Almost all martial sciences pursue a path of improvement along the physical, mental and spiritual lines.  This is essential because when you are balanced you can and simply will be a fantastic practitioner.  Quite often though you will find some great physical practitioners or specimens but they lack in the mental or spiritual areas or you might find the overtly orieneted mental and spiritual practitioner who has neglected the physical side.  We consistently need to ensure that we are training in all the areas.  In other words we need balance.  The absolute finest practitioner’s that I have met have at some point in their training brought a balance of the physical, mental and spiritual side of the martial sciences together.  These practitioner’s are just scary in what they are able to accomplish with their training.  Take time to train the physical side and really get after it and your body will improve and grow but do not also forget to work the mental side and learn and understand more about the martial sciences and life in general.  Finally nurture your unique spirit and set yourself on a path of spiritual growth.  Do this and bring everything together and you will be in balance!  Good luck!

See You On The Mats!
