Way to many times we can become complacent and that will make us lose opportunities for growth. This applies to not just your Martial Science training but to every aspect of your life. I like to live in a constantly challenged world where I step out of my comfort zone. Whether it is working out with another friend who is an expert in his field of Martial Science and experiencing his or hers skill sets and feeling a little out-of-place. Or simply by changing up a workout routine so that it is more challenging and different. Or by simply stepping out and doing some thing that I have never done before. Today I spent the morning paddle boarding out on beautiful Lake Las Vegas. Having never paddle boarded before I have to say that it was absolutely fantastic. Like skiing on top of the water but in a really cool way! (I like water skiing too) The family enjoyed the paddle boarding as well! Change your routine up regularly and you may really begin to live life to the fullest! Following are some pictures. Enjoy!
If you are in the Las Vegas area and want a really cool experience then go to Lake Las Vegas and hook up with the Stand Up Paddle boarders at the Westin.

Agreed and at a seminar I recently attended the person holding the seminar (Dr. Painter) had a interesting view on mixing it up as it applies to forms training.
Learn the form but after you do, mix it up a bit and rearrange it, if for no other reason than to break the trained forms progression so that if you are ever unlucky enough to have to use what you trained you do not go from form A to form B automatically when in reality form B is not going to work..
Mix it up to stop yourself from going on autopilot as it applies to the sequence you have learned
Hey Tim,
That is great advice from Dr. Painter. 🙂
