Absolute pleasure! My favorite brand full of colors that I have been wearing for years! Nothing better than in the room of black skull rashguards and Tshirts to wear a sunshine. ☀️ 🥊

Creating a teaching plan for another set of weeks of my online coaching program Kung Fu Scholars

It’s the most rewarding and challenging task, here is why:

I don’t just teach a form, in this case a sword form. I plan exercises that will lead the individual to gain the control over their body and sword, understanding of the techniques and principles and challenge them.

It may look like systemazing the techniques, finding connections, putting them together and expecting common errors and troubles. It may look like a combination of techniques with a sword you perform with certain restrictions. It may look like a resistance band helping you learn the correct trajectory and motion planes of the move. It may look like precision and control exercise in many different forms. And it all leads to the little fireworks in your head when you learn the new part of the form and realise that you have already studied, explored and understood those moves deeply.

And this all to fit to the big picture plan, where with the help of training cycles I also incorporate all that was taught already and all other angles we can’t omit, such as fighting focus, fundamentals polishing or learning higher concepts that we now can apply to even the sword moves. Not to mention the theory sessions.

When my students receive their technical sheets and training plans, I hope they zoom out a bit and think: “Holy cow. It’s all so interconnected and making so much sense!”
