I completely agree with this. Martial arts were key to helping me define my character. Kids deserve this kind of guidance, rather than solely screens and fragmented behavioural structures to embody.
The best lessons learnt were from my failures. I spent 20 years training in Korean version of Shotokan but 6 lessons of pressure testing what works solidified that : simple techniques, a calm mind, and controlled sympathetic nervous system works across a range of situations.
This is a great piece to put out into the world. Many think martial arts are simply knuckle-dragger sports as opposed to windows to the human condition. Well done.
Such an interesting read!

If every child learned martial arts the world would be less violent.

Absolutely. By the way - I recently read your article on being a parent as well. It was super!
Thank you. Great to connect with you. Love your updates.

The greatest part in martial arts is learning how to become comfortable in uncomfortable situations.
Thanks for Sharing!
No problem.

I love this phrase, “..windows to the human condition.”
You’re spot on with this. I’ve learnt more about myself through training than I have in school or therapy.
Thanks Sam. 100% agreed. What a teacher it is. Appreciate the comments and taking the time to read.
Nailed it. One of my favorite pieces of yours yet.
Thanks dude!
Well done. The comparisons to Stoic philosophy were very enlightening. Thanks
