As a Martial Arts Instructor, it’s easy to fall into the trap of letting your own fitness suffer – I’m certainly no different.
Finding time to train yourself is not always easy, there are so many commitments that just seem to get in the way. Important things like Family life, work, running a martial arts club, and all the ‘behind the scenes’ work that goes hand in hand with running a club just seem to get in the way.
The answer, however, is as simple as it sounds – find the time and make it happen. Even if it’s not as often as you would like – make it happen as often as you can.
John Johnston (Adaptive Karate) once said to me “sometimes you have to be selfish with your training”. I certainly don’t consider John to be a selfish man so here’s what I take from this statement – it’s your responsibility to keep yourself as fit and active as possible.
I agree it’s not always easy to find the time – but make it happen as often as you can. If you want to find out more about what we do then simply get in touch.
