Training outside gives you...

Finally my Summer Training Program is officially on the way.

With the warmer weather, our pool that is now open, and the rejuvenating effect of the sun, I'm taking my training outside for the next 5 months.

And I encourage you to do the same.

I always look forward to, during the summer months, the end of my workout where I sit on the deck quietly and go through my Stretching Routine.

Bending and Twisting my body as I take in the sun and reflect on my life, enjoying every breath, being happy and grateful to have health, family and martial arts.

When you add these 3 components (health, family, and martial arts) to your life, it's a winning combination.

It keeps you grounded.

It keeps you focused.

It helps in keeping your priorities at the right place.

It makes you appreciative and grateful.

We're all looking to bring balance to our life (especially if you're on this list), and taking the time in the morning or in the evening to practice, as Bruce Lee wound say: "Your Gung-Fu".

You can't help but feel calmer, in better control of your emotions and thoughts, you make better decisions, and you realize the importance of daily practice to reach the ever evasive level of Mastery.

Take the time to enjoy the outdoors, if you want to know what kind of routine I follow after my workouts I suggest you take a look at this.

Master Yourself,

Sibok Martin

Benefits of Training in the Dark?

We cater to Kids and Adults.

Kids want flashy fun stuff (Adults want that too) and Adults need to learn a skill and increase their confidence (Kids want that too).

Solution: Glow in the Dark Nunchaku Seminar.

The event was held at our Kanata Kung-Fu School.

If you're a parent, you know that sometimes to get your kids to do something it has to be exciting and unique, enough to get their interest and attention going. If something isn't, their attention span will "Fizzle" away.

Enter the "Glow in the Dark Nunchaku Seminar".


You couldn't get these kids out of our outside training barricade even if you tried dragging them.

Everyone of them was focused and eager to learn the different twirls and chambers taught in this seminar.


Now add the Glow chuks and you got some serious flash going on, making each and every move look that much faster, crisper and razor sharp.

Also, for adults or myself for that matter, I enjoy training in the dark.

It's a habit I've been undertaking for quite some time now.

Practice Sword, Bo Staff, Sticks and Conditioning exercises (Such as Squats, Balance & Footwork Drills) in the dark will lead to enhanced sensitivity and awareness. Instead of "seeing" mistakes in your form you'll actually "feel" them which in turn will make you absorb the technique on a deeper level.

Try it and let me know how it feels. Always use common sense when attempting to do this.

The look on a child's face just when they've learned a new move and actually gets it, priceless. Their self-esteem bumps up 150%. That's what kids need, a place where they can learn in a positive disciplined environment and actually do cool stuff they can tell their friends about.

Being a father of three myself, it's not always easy to find activities for them. You kinda find yourself always doing the same things. Which can be at times, boring.

That's why our Martial Arts program is so popular. It's different. You break the monotony when you come to class. You never know what you're gonna do or learn.

It's also something you can do with the whole family.

I think Martial Arts should be voted the #1 Sport in the world. The whole family can participate, the competition is with yourself, you learn personal protection, you stay in top physical shape, and learn life skills that will stay with you and your family for life.

It doesn't get much better than that.

By the way double click on the picture to the right to open it to full size and look at the kid's faces after the seminar and tell me if you think they had fun.

Until next time,

Sifu Martin
