In Person Training

I’m sure this is not new news to anyone, but our lessons in the black belt class (and any class, for that matter) are best received in person. Online attendance is a great resource for those days when life happens, as a way to still engage and absorb. It has its limitations, however, and sometimes they become a crutch and hinderance.

Over the next while, we will be focusing on chi and energy work. Specifically, we will be covering the established syllabus with a new approach; that of energy, intent and direction. Attendance in person is going to be critical, as partner work is required. 

Chi and energy is a relationship. It is difficult to evolve in our training without experiencing this relationship. As such, it is going to be difficult, if not impossible, to absorb and practice the upcoming lessons in an online fashion. The quantity and quality of feedback (from both the instructors and students) is limited unless we are all in the same room.
