I didn't know there were so many of you

Woah!

I didn't expect to have so many mutual fans of Sho Kosugi.

Since my last e-mail yesterday I've been receiving lots of encouraging replies to it.

Many of you shared the same feelings about the movies I mentioned.

It's funny how those movies were made on a shoe string budget and still became classics compared to the movies these days with million dollar budgets, special effects, big name actors and most of them are forgotten a week later with no impact whatsoever.

Why is that?

Are there too many movies? Are people WATCHING too many movies? Bad directors? Who knows.

I do know one thing, the movies I mentioned helped me model what I was seeing. They actually got me motivated to train, practice, and sharpen my skills. Just like kids imitate what they see I picked up on their mannerisms and tried to move like they moved.

You also have a unique opportunity to model what we do through our DVDs.

It's a great medium to be exposed to top notch instruction and to see the essence and movement the way they're supposed to be done.

Becoming skilled and efficient starts with Modeling. Anyone of the DVDs we have in the product section will do the trick.

How to instantly accelerate your progress

If you're serious about getting results, today's tip will serve you well.


Let's face it we're all motivated by progress. We want it sooner, better, faster.

Some things need time, like Power and Endurance.

If you stay consistent and gradually increase the demands you put on yourself during your strength training you will see results over time.

That's just the way it is.

But in the areas of skill, flexibility and speed that's a whole different story.

Progress can be accelerated in those areas if you find someone better than you.

Skill wise, one round of sparring with someone better than you will yield faster results in 3 minutes than maybe 1 year of training.

Same thing with speed. Working speed drills with a high caliber training partner will set your reaction time into high gear.

Flexibility is no different. There is a science behind stretching, if you apply the proper exercises with the right knowledge you can make substantial gains in 30 minutes or less.

Someone's better than you for a reason, find out what they're doing and copy it exactly.

Follow this advice in all areas of your life. Everyone you meet is superior to you in one way or the other.

Aim Higher,

Sifu Martin

Modeling leads to Strength, Flexibility and Endurance

We brought our 4 year old daughter skiing for the first time yesterday.

Like any kid trying something new, they have a bit of fear, they're uncertain but once they get it right once, their confidence grows and they start having fun.

Still she wasn't 100% confident to go down the bunny hill.

Until...

Another little girl came along, younger and smaller than her went sliding by her. Hopped on the kid size escalator, alone, and got off it and back down the hill again.

We didn't even have to SAY nothing.

Our daughter pushed our hands away, got on the escalator and copied exactly what the little girl had just done.

Suddenly there was competition. She was modeling. She wanted to show off her skill as well.

Are we Adults any different?

Hell no.

We all need to model someone better than us. It pushes us to do better. It opens our mind to new possibilities.

If you allow us, let us be your physical fitness model. You too can have strength, flexibility and endurance. You too can be fit without having to watch everything you eat and spend countless hours in a gym.

There is a better way.

You'll find our efficient, proven, strength training system right here.

Challenge Yourself,

Sifu Martin
