Good Drills Involve Mind, Body and Emotional State

Part 3 on How to Develop Self-Discipline

Drills for self discipline can give you the tools for success.

But only CORRECTLY developed drills that look at the MIND,

BODY and EMOTIONAL state really improve a person's character.

Let's take some practical examples, physical drills only develop

skills, that is why you can have very corrupt military and

police.

Mental drills deal with the intellect and that is why you can

have a guy who is a genius in Math or Academics, be a

complete loser when it comes to dealing with human beings.

Emotional drills that deal with what we call the "spirit" of an

individual, and I am not talking religion per se here, can still

lead to people in Authority who abuse their office.

=====

Tip #1

A successful drill for self discipline must first assess the

needs of the individual.

=====

Let's take a practical example:

My challenge is to teach a thirty something white collar worker

whose goal is to find the discipline to get in shape while losing

some weight and learning self defense.

Any drills designed on the physical side must use time so that

the individual can work at their own pace. In other words, punching

a pad for 3 minutes is different than executing 200 punches within

3 minutes.

The drill must take into account the person's mental state. Drills

must be explained patiently so that the person is aware how to

perform the drill correctly. Some people require more explanation

than others.

The emotional state is key. If the person has just had a brutal

day at the office, care must be taken to be encouraging and

making the experience as positive as possible so that the

person will be excited to come back.

You can't have self discipline without a lot of repetition.

May I suggest that you try one of our classes, find the right one

for you that fits your schedule. Here is a video of what the classes

How to Develop Skills of Self Discipline - Part 2

Drills are the best way to instill discipline.

Drilling something means you do it over and

over again. You do it until it becomes muscle

memory, emotional memory, and deep in the

intellect.

When we think of drilling we think of the military,

but its actually a lot more simpler than that.

An example of a drill is having a kid say "good

morning" or "good afternoon."

This means that the kid recognizes other people

and respects that another human is in the room.

======

Tip # 1

Discipline must be taught and cultivated

======

Just like a garden many kids are growing like

wild weeds. As parent, you are the Gardener

and MMA Judo programs like mine are the water

that you pour on the plants.

Click here for a schedule of my classes

Discipline must be practiced until it becomes

second nature. This does not mean drilling can't be fun.

Indeed the mark of a good teacher is the

ability to disguise repetition.

Kids have to be able to transfer the skills that they

learn to other areas of their life. It is of no use for a kid

to be a champion in the ring and a loser in life.

That is why the All Star Judo programs

have a holistic approach so that the parents, the

school, and the dojo (gym) all reinforce the same

messages.

In the next part, I will talk more about how successful

drills must effect the physical state, the emotional state

and the intellectual state of an individual in order

to be effective.

All the best to you.

How to Develop Skills of Self-Discipline - Part 1

FACT: A person with good self-discipline will ALWAYS

be more successful than a person who lacks self-discipline.

Anyway that you measure success, this is true...

After teaching thousands of people in several countries

for the past 25 years or so, I have developed some clear

thoughts on this subject.

I have developed a successful method of teaching self-discipline.

My students, both male and female range from ages 3 to 75.

=====

Tip #1

Self-discipline MUST be taught. Very few people possess

this as a gift. It is a skill that must be learned.

Click here for a schedule of my classes

=====

But first let's get a definition.

Discipline by Webster's definition is to educate; to develop

by instruction and exercise; to train.

That is why most people think of discipline as providing

punishment to correct a behavior.

It is also why when people talk about discipline they are

often talking about it being applied to someone else.

There seems to be two main reasons that people come

to me for martial arts lessons: self-defense or to help

them become more disciplined.

My job is fortunately more positive. As a teacher, my job

is to get a student to discover his own learning style and

how to stick with a concept until he reaches some

predetermined goal.

That's why my school is called "The School of Self-Discipline."

Click here for a schedule of my classes

I will have done my job if the student has learned enough

self-discipline to transfer the skills learned at the school (dojo)

to other parts of his or her life.

In Part 2 - I will talk about why drills are the best way to become

self-disciplined.

All the best to you.

How Extracurricula Activities Can Get Your Kids into the Best Universities

FACT: Top universities today have difficulty determining who are the candidates

that will add the most to their student body. Successful applicants

need more than just good grades.

======

Universities KNOW that life skills are developed outside of the classroom

and measured by your success in Extracurricular Activities.

======

But then the question "Which activity should my child be required to master?"

=====

Tip #4

Put your child in a NON TEAM activity that they can have at least regional level

success in.

Click here for a schedule of my classes

=====

This looks REALLY good on a college application. Make sure it is

an individual sport and not a team sport, so the child can

really stand out.

I realize that signing up a short kid for basketball, an overweight kid

for soccer, a highly uncoordinated kid for baseball because they LIKE

it is important for the emotional well being of the child. And peace in

the house.

But they have no realistic future in these highly competitive sports.

I chose the martial arts for myself because I was not particularly fast

and not too strong. But yet I went on to be a world renowned expert,

international seminar leader and a Karate champion.

I later turned this into a career where I develop champions in the martial

arts. They say charity begins at home, so the first champions I developed

were my children.

All three wanted to quit by age 15, and all three won championships up

to regional levels and the last one even won a match at the Youth Olympics.

Click here to see Cynthia's Heroic Journey.

=====

Two of my kids are now at top Universities in part because they were

national and regional champions in the sport of Judo.

Click here for a schedule of my classes

=====

My kids are also pioneers in the sport because not everyone plays Judo,

so it was easier to make national teams and win national tournaments.

Because it is an individual sport, it is easier to win at an international level

because you are not dependent on an entire team.

Imagine if I had tried to get the same result with basketball. LOL!

All the best to you.

Why Better Grades are Not Enough to Succeed in Life....

Part 3 of Why Extra Curricula Activities May be More Important

than Academics

=====

Introduction

=====

A lot of people believe the major problem facing our country

today is crime....

I believe the major problem is the inability to work together

while respecting each other's dignity, and this causes the crime,

poor attitudes and the lack of a work ethic!

For the most part we are simply not competitive on an

international level and we actually believe we can solve

this problem by people getting better grades in Math and

English.

Let's be honest - in Math and English a person's character

is a secondary issue to getting the answer’s correct on a test.

The hope for academics is that you will develop the ability

to reason by mastering the core subjects. But good school

systems have begun to recognize that you must develop the

whole person: intellect, physical education (P.E) and

emotional state.

The truth is when it comes time for job and social advancement,

the ability to get along with others is far more important in most

cases than how "smart" you are.

By the way, I am an Academic. I am a Lecturer at COB

and I have a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering

and a Master’s in Management from Northwestern

University (one of the world’s top business schools).

Yet I choose to teach Martial Arts for a career, because

it is where I believe I can make my greatest contribution.

=====

Tip # 3

Treat extra curricula activities with the SAME VALUE that

you treat the core academic subjects.

Click here for a schedule of my classes

=====

The Martial Arts provide a complete PE system that also

focuses on the intellect and the emotional state.

Judo for example was created by one of Japan's leading

educators as a tool for personal development to address

in part the shortcomings of non physical academics.

In Part 4, I will discuss why straight A's alone are unlikely

to get you into the college of your choice or the job that

you desire.

All the best to you.

If You Let Your Kids Quit They Will Hate you For it Later...

Part 2 of Why Extra Curricula Activities May be More Important

than Academics.

=====

If you let your kid quit the extra curricula activity that you

want for them when it gets tough or boring, the kid will blame

you for it later. This is a fact.

=====

Kids that I taught in primary school are now taking my class in

College. Many of them say the exact same things “ I wish my

Mom (Dad) had not let me quit. I would be a Black Belt by now.”

Worse for me is counseling a young person who says their

parents were afraid to be parents and instead let them do what

they wanted, and now they are leading a life of average.

Which as we all know average today is a life on the bottom.

Read the book Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters

(Margaret J. Meeker MD) and it will

give you the scientific evidence of what I am telling you.

In the case of girls they are apparently just testing you to

see if they are worth fighting for. They are not necessarily

rebelling against the activity.

In the case of guys many of them do not want to be

interrupted in what they are doing now. For example,

if they are watching TV or playing a video game, it is

not that they do not want to go to practice, it is more

that you are breaking their pattern of thought.

Kids need balance and structure from YOU.

====

Tip #2

Let the kid know that they can quit the activity you want

for them when they turn 18. Then set shorter term yearly

goals for them within the activity.

click here for a schedule of my classes

====

This really, really works. They will feel more in control. And

guess what... by time they hit 18 the activity will be a part

of their character and they won’t want to quit. Because they

will actually be experts by then.

In part 3 I will discuss how extra curricula activities and not

academics are the cure for the poor attitudes and the lack

of work ethic in our society.

All the best.

Why Extra Curricular Activities may be more important than Academics - Part 1

Most people are preparing their kid for a life of average by allowing

them to jump from activity to activity in the non academic subjects.

Then they allow the kid to quit as soon as the activity becomes “boring” or

something else catches their fancy.

Most of life outside of work is extra curricular. Teaching kids how to quit

when the going gets tough spells DISASTER for personal relationships,

job advancement, social advancement etc.

The fact is:

=====

Academic subjects primarily deal with the intellect, but we all know book smart

people who are not successful in life

=====

There are many ways to define success...

Average is a horrible place to be today. In most cases average

leads to a place of financial, spiritual and intellectual bankruptcy.

In other words, the average person is often unsuccessful no matter

how you define it.

=====

Tip #1

Allow your kid to participate in two activities: One, that he really LIKES

AND commit the kid to an activity that YOU want to see excellence in.

click here for our class schedules.

=====

If your kid has an initial interest in the activity you want to see excellence in,

it is enough. Do NOT let him or her quit until YOU feel the kid has learned

what that activity has to teach.

My own life experience being the Father of three kids speaks to this truth.

Read the book “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell. He gives the actual

science behind what I am telling you.

Part 2 will answer the question: Why do kids quit and then blame you

for their lack of success later?

All the best.
