Now this is interesting.
You might feel like this so listen up.
Among the many replies from old students of mine, many are coming to the open mat on Monday, and a common theme on those replies was along the line of.
“I’m so glad you messaged, I’ve been wanting an excuse to come back, if I’m honest I don’t know why I stopped and I don’t know why I dont come, I loved it there, was in great shape, if I’d have carried on if be this belt or that belt, I’m sick to death of the gym, treadmill and weights are boring the life out of me, I’ll 100% see you Monday coach”
This is 100% true, I had many messages along this theme.
Sometimes people stop and then build coming back too much as though everyone is going to shame them, or there going to get “smashed” and nothing could be further from the truth.
The mats have taught me that you are on your own journey and to never compare your self to anyone.
See you Monday gang. It the martial path for me.
