Combat Tai Chi - Iron Wrapped In Silk

Hey Y'all, We have something from the archives for you today. A previously unpublished Combat Tai Chi episode talking about Combat Tai Chi vs Park Tai Chi. As always, please like the video. It helps with Google's ranking and helps get the video seen by other people.

One of the many Shaolin Arts weapons clinics. We learned the basics of using sticks for self defense.

It’s more comfortable to sit on the couch. It’s more comfortable to talk about getting fit. But it takes courage and grit to get out there and get after it - to push yourself past the discomfort.

Everything you want is on the other side of pain.

Let’s raise a glass to remember those who gave all for our freedom.

Iron and The Soul by Henry Rollins - www.oldtimestrongman.com

Everything you want is on the other side of pain.

“It wasn’t until my late twenties that I learned that by working out I had given myself a great gift. I learned that nothing good comes without work and a certain amount of pain. When I finish a set that leaves me shaking, I know more about myself. When something gets bad, I know it can’t be as bad as that workout.

I used to fight the pain, but recently this became clear to me: pain is not my enemy; it is my call to greatness….”

Iron and The Soul by Henry Rollins - www.oldtimestrongman.com IRON AND THE SOUL by Henry Rollins I believe that the definition of definition is reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. Completely. When I was young I had no sense of myself. All I was, was a product of all the fear and humiliation I … Continue read...

Happy Mother’s Day from the Bad Ass Babes of Shaolin Arts.

Everything you want is on the other side of pain.

“How do you stay motivated to keep training?” I’m often asked.⁣
⁣
Listen.⁣
⁣
Training is fu***ng hard sometimes. Training is trying to draw blood from a turnip. Training is reading a Dickens novel. Training is wrestling a porcupine in heat.⁣
⁣
And when you get right down to it, there’s a point where you either appreciate training and it motivates you or not. You either have the spark or you don’t. You can only fan flames, not dirt.⁣
⁣
At the end of the day, if you’re only looking for little tricks and tips, you need to think harder about this thing you say you want to do.⁣
⁣
Training is a stormy love affair, an amusement park, a flickering neon sign. You’re just drawn to it, even when it sucks, like a pigeon to breadcrumbs. ⁣
⁣
And that, I think, is what ultimately separates the Aspiring Not-Really-Fit People from the Really Real Fit People—the latter train even when it’s hard, even when the motivation carcass is being picked by crows.⁣
⁣
They hook up the defibrillator, crank up the dials, and make the damn co**se dance again. Looks dead, but isn’t. ⁣
⁣
Every day, then, is a revival, a resurgence of ability and action. Training leads to more training, just like crack leads to more crack.⁣
⁣
The best motivation to train, then, is training.⁣
⁣
So train when it’s hard.⁣
⁣
Train when it’s easy.⁣
⁣
Train when life doesn’t want you to.⁣
⁣
Train when you don’t want to.⁣
⁣
Train when people say not to.⁣
⁣
Just train.

Do it now. Stop leering at me and go train. And then train again. And then train some more. Build a fire that feeds itself.⁣
⁣
You might love the process or hate it. You might love some workouts and hate others. You might thrill at how your body responds or curse it. ⁣
⁣
Keep going, however, and I can promise you this: as difficult as it is, you’ll learn to love having trained. There’s no other feeling like it.⁣
⁣
So go, my friend, and train. And let that be your motivation.

Congratulations to Mike, Mary and Laura on their promotions to blue advanced and green sash. Your skills are beginning to develop. We are excited to see you progress!

Congratulations to Rob, Dyana and Mickie on their promotion to intermediate ranks. It was a challenging rank test, but you did it!!

Congratulations to Ray Thomas on promotion to orange sash.

These are highly advanced concepts that are rarely understood and even more rarely shared beyond a master’s inner circle.

“This is what other schools don’t teach either because they don’t know it or won’t show it,” says Chris Workman, Head Instructor at Shaolin Arts. “It’s what makes you a fighter. It’s the difference between being good and being really good.”

Activity is the ‘miracle pill’ that could save both people and planet | Living

Inactivity is currently the world’s fourth leading cause of death. Currently, 1.5 billion people around the world are so inactive they are risking their long-term physical health. Every year an estimated 5.3 million people die from causes related to inactive living.

Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi at Shaolin Arts are both excellent ways of adding more life-saving and life-enriching movement to your life!

EXCITING NEWS!! Gov Ducey has announced that gyms and fitness providers can open TOMORROW!!

Kung Fu and Tai Chi are contact sports. However, we will make every effort to accommodate social distancing.

To keep everyone healthy, Shaolin Arts reminds everyone not to come to class if you are sick or have reason to believe you may be infected. Wash your hands often. We have soap and water available in the washroom at the studio. Don't touch your face and cover your cough. We are (and have been) working on getting hand sanitizer to make available at the studio. Unfortunately, due to national shortages, we may not be able to get that until June.

We look forward to seeing you all back in class!!

Please contact the Studio with any questions.
