The year has been a good one for the training with these fine men. Many have been training at #fightclub for over a year and the improvements are clearly noted. Fighting is not an easy art to master, and we should not judge ourselves against any other measure beyond the improvements that we make each day. We train as a group, not only to improve ourselves but to imrove each other. The effort that is put in when battling during this training will one day pay off in the peace of mind that comes from a trained and prepared mind and body. Today we reviewed from the beginning,, to refresh in our minds what we really know. Recognizing the threat and identifying the proper response to neutralize the attack is typically one of the most difficult parts. The mind is often filled with doubt,,, doubt about the truth regarding what is happening and doubt about ones ability to respond effectively. Trusting ourselves and trusting that we will do what is required are more difficult than learning how to defend against an attack. It takes commitment to the act and the reliance on oneself. These each come to people in different stages and at different times. All we can do is train the mind and body to respond by repeating the drills over and over again,,,, this will allow the body to respond immeditaltely and allow the doubts (that we all have at one time or another) to be conquered. During the Christmas season it is best to focus on the family and our loved ones. We all have different ways to show our love for our family,,, but we all desire to be able to recognize danger before it happens and respond in a manner the will resolve the attack if it is unavoidable. YHC hopes that you men have found a greater peace of mind after training in this system. We often take for granted the safety that we realize each and every day. The peace and safety are provided by those brave people that chose, (each day) to make the daily sacrafise for our familes, cities, states and country.. The freedoms in this country are only stated in the consitution and in our laws,, they are guarenteed by those that are breave enough to fight for these things that most take forgranted. We all know people that have lost their lives fighting for the freedoms ,,,, During this season, keep in mind those brave individuals that have made the ultimate sacrafise and those that recognize the danger and yet continue to risk their lives in order that we may enjoy our lives.
It has been an honor to train with you fine men.
