Step Into Your Future Self Today

Imagine Your Future Self

Picture yourself as the focused and disciplined martial artist you’ve always wanted to become—strong, confident, and balanced in both mind and body.

Now, ask yourself: What would that version of you be doing today?

The truth is, your future self isn’t some distant dream. It’s the direct result of the choices and actions you take right now.

Here’s how to get started:

Clarify Your Vision – What does your ideal practice look like?

  • Are you mastering forms and techniques with precision?
  • Building strength, flexibility, and mindfulness?
  • Achieving goals that push your limits?

Train With Intent – Practice like you’re already that future version of yourself.

  • Would your future self skip practice, or would they commit fully?
  • Focus on movements, techniques, and habits that bring meaningful progress.

Make Future-Focused Decisions – Set a training routine, embrace challenges, and approach each session with a long-term mindset.

  • Are you reacting to setbacks, or are you growing from them?

Every day you show up, you’re building momentum. Your future self isn’t a far-off concept—it’s shaped by the choices you make today.

Start training as the person you want to become, and watch how quickly your practice transforms.

Your journey starts now—are you ready to take the first step?

Build Rock Solid Habits: 2 Smart Strategies

Let’s talk about building habits without the drama of 7 steps of this, or the complexity of 50 shades of… whatever.

You’ve probably heard the classic advice: Do something for 21 days straight, and boom, a habit is born. Or, just clench three things aggressively (teeth, hands, butt), and voila, problem solved.

But does that really work?
Here are two proven strategies, no clenching required:

  1. Duhigg’s Trigger Trick:
    • Charles Duhigg, the habit guru, suggests focusing not only on the new behavior but also on the trigger that kicks off the old one. Identify that YouTube binge that steals your training time—step one done!
  2. Fogg’s 60-Second Rule:
    • B.J. Fogg from Tiny Habits says your new habit should take only 60 seconds. Want more Kung Fu or Tai Chi? Step two: Commit to just 60 seconds of practice. Make it so easy that it feels like a warm-up, and watch the magic unfold.

Now, let’s apply this to your training:

Example Scenario:

  • Identify the YouTube (or social media) time thief.
  • Commit to 60 seconds of your chosen form or technique.

Result:

  • You’ve simplified your start, and chances are, you’ll end up doing more than just 60 seconds.

So, what do your two habit-building steps look like for you? Hit reply and let me know—I’m curious!

Stay strong,
