Turning Your Martial Arts Training From Practice Into Reality

Where am I, What am I doing and is it real?

Asking the question “Where am I, what am I doing and is it real?” is meant to take your martial arts training out of practice mode and into reality (or something close”).

To have your mind, body and emotions 100% behind your actions when your training requires a certain amount of imagination.  So ask yourself when you’re training “Where am I right now in my mind?” “What am I doing here? Are you just punching a bag in your garage, or are you in a dangerous situation that requires you to defend yourself.

This area is crucial to your development as a martial artist, being able to make your training real instead of practice will improve your level ten fold.  Even by making your training real, it’s still not going to be the real thing but by making it something close will give your training much more meaning.
