A while ago,
Suino Sensei wrote a book called 101 Ideas to Kick Your Ass Into Gear.
It’s got some great advice for getting out of funks and getting motivated.
This won’t come as a surprise to martial artists, but something that can really
kick your ass into gear is martial arts training! Here’s an excerpt from Suino
Sensei’s book:
I
imagine taking a martial arts class will also get you LITERALLY kicked in the
ass on occasion, but the fact is that when pursued with the right teacher, and
with the right attitude of discipline and commitment to the timeless values of
an evolved martial art, the results will be as much a kick to the head as to
the other end of your body. Few activities will hone your mind, spirit, and
body in the way that focused martial arts study will. Plus you can make sound
effects!
Jujitsu is based on grappling, and it
might seem counterintuitive to practice this at home. After all, the whole
point is that you grapple with someone!
Believe it or
not, there are many Jujitsu skills that can be practiced at home, like falling
properly, katas, strikes, and more. If you didn’t already know, JMAC has been
streaming Jujitsu during quarantine, practicing just these things!
Martial arts can be energizing, but maybe you’re at home
and having trouble getting motivated. If that’s the case—check out our tips for getting the most out of your at-home workout!
