Training as normal tonight - and gentle recalibration reminder of how to look at and plan your training.
Here's a great way to look at your overall training program and what you do with attending the weekly classes as well as additional practice throughout the week.
Using the “Minimum + Bonus” Rule
This prevents falling off track.
Minimum (must do):
- Attend the weekly class
- 1 practice session
Bonus (great if done):
- 2–3 practice sessions
- Conditioning
- Technique study
Even a 10 minute practice counts!
Consistency matters more than intensity.
If you miss something:
Miss one practice → do the next one.
Miss a class → schedule extra practice.
Never let two weeks pass without training!

Every Sunday do a 5 minute review of your training week.
Ask yourself:
- Did I attend class?
- How many practice sessions did I do ?
- What did I improve?
- What needs work?
- Write one focus for next week.

REMINDER
We have training as normal tonight but in the small hall.
There is a school event on so you will need to park offsite.
Please allow extra time for this.
