“It’s no good waiting until you are attacked before training in self defence and it’s no good waiting until you are about to have a breakdown before meditating.

Good Martial Arts is a toolbox for coping with life. They should train both mind and body. Your physical and mental health should improve with training and it should include both extremes, the highest and lowest levels of activity.
.
.
Stillness is as important as activity and both need to be trained daily and with intensity. The level of intensity inside stillness is the same as a very high level of activity. This is the key to success. It is the guardian to prevent, laziness and distraction. To be ‘in the zone’ you need stillness at the heart of action and in meditation action at the heart of stillness. Understand this and you can’t fail.” ??
