Ep 216 - Martial Arts Training is Unique and Not For Everyone

Tim and Steve talk about how training in the martial arts is unique to other forms of physical exercise. Some of what's discussed includes:

• Martial arts training "rewires your brain"

• No place for electronics — you're "unplugged"

• Relationships are not only mandatory, but necessary

• A unique way to approach mental focus and spiritual awareness

• Eliminating external noise and dealing with real distractions that are within you

“Any man could, if he were so inclined, be the sculptor of his own brain.” — Santiago Ramón y Cajal

“Because of the power of neuroplasticity, you can, in fact, reframe your world and rewire your brain so that you are more objective. You have the power to see things as they are so that you can respond thoughtfully, deliberately, and effectively to everything you experience.” — Elizabeth Thornton
