Partner Training
Everybody needs a training partner and I bet Matt H ughes has many. I am lucky to have Mrs. Duethorn as a workout partner. She motivates, she sets a great pace and has high standards and is never shy about helping me do my best. There have been stages in my life that training was a chore. Achy knees, loss of motivation and stress can be debilitating to maximum training. Over the years I manage to do some workouts because I have to, and others because I want to but training will always make you feel better. Some days are tough but I still manage. I encourage all martial artists to stay training and make it fun for your self. Do forms becasue it is a personal challenge mentally and physically. Point spar, wrestle, grapple, box or MMA style sparring can all be fun and keep you training. Do it at a pace that is manageable, keeps you learning and part of your martial arts family. My students have forced me to be a better teacher. They keep learning and keep wanting more!
