Cheers Leigh, much appreciated 🙏

thank YOU, I hope you enjoyed it 🙏

I'm based in the UK 👍. You?

@@FightDadOh I'm from indonesia my country is near the philipines and the philipines is my cognate country And I Interest to learn arnis and panantukan too because of you sir

Great to meet you, and fantastic to hear you are keen to learn - please enjoy the short and long videos on my channel, and be sure to let me know anything you are particularly interested to learn 🙏🙏🙏

@@FightDad Yes of course

Glad you like it 😁

Well spotted sir 😎😎 yes, this is after a lot of time drilling the "wrong" attacks/blocks, and so forcing the base cycle is sometimes more challenging than simply reacting with any of the possible responses

Hey Max-Headroom, I've heard of them but never trained it so I'm not sure I can help answer that... What, in YOUR mind, would define Mcdojo?

🙏🙏 I hope this (and the full length linked vid 👌) helps

Thank you my friend 🙏

Thank YOU for saying 🙏 Make sure you watch the full length version of this video on my channel too - there's some more context I couldn't fit in to a short!

😁 good to practice with different circumstances! 🙏

Exaaaaaaactly 😎🙏😁

Sure, if it's easier for you to think of it that way 👍

I am sorry for your loss, and it is totally natural to still feel it to this day (and likely in the future too), because your teacher must have had such a deep effect on your life! Congratulations on continuing your martial arts journey via Japanese swordsmanship - I wish you all the best for continued exploring and finding enjoyment from martial arts 🙏🔥

Sometimes it's much easier to spot that kind of situation from the outside rather than when you're deep in it yourself - I'm pleased it's worked out for you 🙏

@FightDad thankyou it has worked out right for once and others have noticed how much of a shitshow it was, onwards and upwards is the saying..

I hadn't even seen that! 🤣😅😅😅 Thanks! But do I correct it, or leave it as a talking point?.. 🤔

That's not a nice feeling to get, from a family member or not 😕 I hope you manage to find a good teacher who you can have a healthy relationship with - one-sided worship is not a great position to be in either! All the best for your training my friend 🙏

Much appreciated my friend ☺️🙏

Exactly - it can be painful to be at the 100% passion end of the pendulum swing, but can be self defeating to swing to the 0% passion end too. Some self regulation, the ability to detach the initial emotion, the rationalised emotion and any action, the ability to keep a consistent core identity, and having a more internal locus of control can all help the instructor... Easier said than done though 🤣🤣😅

Yes you're exactly right - most often stopping training is a result of changing circumstances, but it's a natural (knee jerk) reaction for the instructor to feel that it's their fault... ...even when it's not! Thanks for your comment, and your impressive training so far 🙏🙏🙏 All the best, Harry

i COMPLETELY get what you mean - about 15 years ago I moved 300 miles from the best instructor I ever had and it was a significant reason NOT to move... I still miss training at his gym, but I'm also happy of the growth which has happened since then 🙏. I hope you've managed to find somewhere to train at your new location? 🤞

@@FightDad thanks for the support. I moved from Gothenburg and was at Skålberg friend Magnus club. Finding an instructor that matches their standard is hard to find. But im still looking. Until then I do stuff in the garage

Yes this is the PROBLEM with having a great teacher (Johan and Magnus are both great 👌) - all others afterwards aren't as good! This is exactly what I found moving away from Matt Teasdale (who's in Newcastle), I haven't found anyone nearly as high quality... ...so I started a training group of my own... Maybe that's a route for you? Could you find a few training partners to explore together?..

@@FightDad Maybe thats the way. There is no "self-defence" club here in umeå/sweden (only sport martial arts). So maybe I should put some friends together and start one. :)

Sounds like an awesome plan 😎 And if you start as a "training group" or "study group" there's less pressure/it can be informal (if you want to do it that way). And then (again, if you want to) you could upgrade to a class / club / school as you want to None of these choices are irreversible, and if try something and like it - GREAT! If you don't like it - GREAT, now you know, and can try something different 😊

Thanks Tammi, for good instructors and coaches it's almost never their fault the student stops training, but the immediate (internal) feeling is "what did I do wrong???"

“Its the price you pay for giving a shit” ❤

You're right, those questions are usually the most important for martial arts instructors (Or maybe: 1 - can you fight or coach others to fight? 2 - can you teach / share your knowledge in a compelling way?) I guess an award is significant to those who understand the criteria - either quantitative (e.g. ADCC or olympic podium), or qualitative based on the reputation of the person/people who awarded it (e.g. Full Dog Brother* or Black Belt etc etc) Although Full Dog Brother is known more widely to be fairly high standard 👌 Also, it reinforces something I believe in - can you prove something you claim? Sometimes, too, awards convey a nice feeling to the person receiving them which can add motivation to keep going... (Woah that was a ramble! Thanks for the comment Jacob 🙏)

Thank you so much for saying, I REALLY appreciate it 🙏 I hope you're having a great week 👊

Yes there's a lot of similarities 😁. I'm not sure which influenced which but there's bound to be multiple cross-pollination... Particularly as I train Muay Thai as well as Kali (although Kali is definitely my "core" art 🙏) I guess there are only so many ways to elbow someone 😊

@@FightDad I agree.

Lol probably. Thanks for watching and commenting 👌

Your desire to train and learn is great! There are several solo training videos on my channel, and a free course on my website - I hope they help 🙏

Excellent! Good training attitude

Excellent! I'm so pleased you learned something 😊

Awesome! I hope it goes well for you 🙏

Nicely spotted 😁

Thank you Tom, I appreciate the comment 🙏
