John Maidment Martial Arts & Self Defense Training

Last full day in St.John's Newfoundland. What a busy visit for me. Taught 10 hours of martial arts and got a ton of errands done including some bank visits in preparation for moving back. Got to spend time with several friends / students, see my uncle, organize some belongings and put them in storage, Made a few connections with members of the Canadian Armed Forces and reconnect with one member of HMCS Cabot. these were in a addition to the usual logistical tasks associated with running a seminar - printing certificates, travel to & from + returning today to pay my rental for one of the locations. Lots of other stuff accomplished that I would be doing in LA anyways, so I cannot really count them as specific to my visit. All told it was productive. Hope everyone is achieving their goals for the week. My flight is scheduled to leave at 6:05pm tomorrow, arriving in Montreal, then an overnight wait for my morning flight that's due to land at 10am Pacific Time (2:30pm here in NL). Take care everyone.

How are you dealing with stress ? Eating unhealthy ? Drinking too much alcohol ? Binging TV shows ? Well, there is a very positive stress buster, as you know. That is exercise, and especially, MARTIAL ARTS. Nothing like learning how to punch, kick, elbow, knee and smash with a stick, so tell your friends, family, co-workers, basically anyone who is not a criminal. If it's been awhile since you have partaken in such fun stuff sign up ASAP at your local Martial Arts school / club. If you live in or near St.John's NL register right away for one or more of the sessions I will be coaching next month. Email me for full info
