But… does it really work?
This is a question we sometimes get from students, parents or casual viewers of our online channels.
It’s a brilliant question, a really important one, to ask when practising martial arts as well as anything in life really. We listed 5 steps to go through when a technique you are trying to apply simply doesn’t work.
1/ You’re not doing it right: Double check again from the source that you are doing it right.
2/ You haven’t trained it enough: Some techniques require a lot of repetition to make it work, especially if it requires a specific timing, distance or more compl ..read more

However, by embracing the idea of “self-imposed discomfort”, we can strengthen ourselves and become better equipped to face the inevitable challenges that life throws our way.
Before I go any further, a disclaimer: I acknowledge that the concept of seeking discomfort is a “first-world prob ..read more
