It’s Not How Much You Know …

I hope you all enjoyed our workouts last week where our theme was “becoming spontaneous.” Remember, it’s not how much you know, but rather, it’s what you can do with what you know that matters most. Hopefully our training has opened your eyes to what you need to work on and why it’s best to “keep it simple.” If we don’t practice to become spontaneous with what we know, it won’t magically appear in the street when we need it. We must diligently and purposefully practice how we want to respond in the street in order to make it a reality. That’s why we’re spending so much time working on this topic lately. The drills and exercises we did only scratch the surface of things to come so we’ll see you in class as we continue to learn to spontaneously put what we know to the edges of our hands and feet.

See you in class!
