The more a person does something, the greater the level of confidence, understanding, and proficiency they will have...

What do you do when, you want to pursue the study of the martial arts or learn real-world self-defense and there are no schools near where you live? What do you do even if there are martial arts schools or self-defense classes being offered in your local area but... Failure is Not an Option! - "Attitude" and the Keys to Martial Arts Mastery, Key #7 One of the most important traits of any successful person is an attitude of total commitment and passion for what it is that they are doing. They see their goal; they devise a plan for reaching it; and, the set about doing what is necessary to attain that goal. DECISIVENESS: - Single-Minded Commitment to Greatness - The Keys to Martial Arts Life Mastery #5 I remember talking to one of my teachers once about the traits of a master leader. 'The' trait that lay at the center, or formed the foundation for all of these others was: "Decisiveness" - 'the simple ability to make a decision.'

Martial Arts for Children - A Note to Parents About Motivation Problems and Child Development Often parents of children in martial arts, or other educational activities, experience resistence from their child that may appear as though the child doesn't want to do it anymore. The parent's frustration turns to confusion as the child's resistence turns to excitement when they're actual in class. Why is this? Flexibility, Adaptibility, and The Keys to Martial Arts Mastery, Key #8 "Flexibility is the Key to Longevity." Think about that statement for a moment. "Do you understand what that means?" The Karate-Myth: Why Most Martial Arts and Self-Defense Programs Are Wrong You know, when I first started learning how to protect myself through the martial arts, the training was almost entirely focused on the memorization and performance of the technique...But, that performance was tied more to duplicating a string of "moves" than it was on...the successful resolution of the situation Emotion-Based Defensive Response - A Non-Traditional Martial Arts Approach to Self-Defense When discussing self-defense training, we really need to be discussing more than just learning some tricks and techniques for dodging punches or escaping locks and holds. Why then, are most instructors content with stopping at, and most students satisfied with learning, self-defense in a vaccuum? Ninjutsu Martial Arts Strategy: Key Moments & Phases in a Self-Defense Situation A major pivoting point in my ninjutsu martial arts learning process happened when I realized that there was something more going on than just the punching, kicking, and what-not, that makes up conventional martial arts and self-defense training. In fact... Ninjutsu Martial Arts Training - Don't Depend on Weapons for Self-Defense Weapons should be a part of any sound self-defense and martial arts program, training, and strategy. However, far too many people rely on a quick-fix. The false assumption by many well-inentioned people concerned about self-defense issues is that there is a "best" weapon that will make up for not having self-defense skills in the first place.
