The "Never Miss Two Days in a Row" Rule for Martial Artists
Posted: October 08, 2024
Why is this a great rule to follow??
In Martial arts training requires consistency and discipline, but we all have days when life and your emotions get in the way. Whether it's a busy school schedule, work commitments, or simply feeling tired, missing a training session occasionally happens. But here's a tip to help you stay on track: follow the "Never Miss Two Days in a Row" rule.
What is it?
It’s simple! If you miss one day of practice, don’t worry. The key is to make sure you get back to class or training the next day. Missing two consecutive days can disrupt your momentum, making it harder to get back into your routine. Consistency is what drives improvement, especially in martial arts where building strength, flexibility, and skill requires regular practice.

The Role of Full Body Listening
How do we make sure we’re not just hearing feedback but truly receiving it? This is where the concept of full body listening comes in. When we fully engage our mind and body in listening, we show the person giving feedback that we’re open to hearing them. This encourages them to give us more helpful insights.
For example, have you ever noticed someone giving you feedback in a negative tone? It’s easy to get defensive, but full body listening helps you filter out the negative tone and focus on the useful information behind it. It’s about listening with both your mind and heart, allowing you to grow even from the toughest feedback.
