March 4, 201313 yr I understand you must train the body in order to do martial arts, but are there any ways to train the mind? Become mentally stronger....besides mediation “When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.” - Thich Nhat Hanh
March 4, 201313 yr What do you mean by "train the mind" exactly? What behavior do you expect from someone who has not "trained the mind" that someone who has will do differently? "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." - Baleia
March 4, 201313 yr Author @JusticeZero I mean fearing no one, being fearless “When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.” - Thich Nhat Hanh
March 4, 201313 yr A martial artist who is fearless is a fool, fear is our survival instinct. If you have no fear you cannot make choices and take appropriate risks. He who fears others is brave, he who fears himself is mighty. Look to the far mountain and see all.
March 4, 201313 yr Author ^ Thanks! =) “When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.” - Thich Nhat Hanh
March 5, 201313 yr Very true i completely agree being mentally strong is more important thing physically.You need to get motivated by something and should set a aim for which you have to achieve at any cost. Edited March 9, 201313 yr by Tonny Orlando personal training
March 5, 201313 yr I've heard the book The Gift of Fear is a good read for that subject matter. Something to look into. https://www.haysgym.com http://www.sunyis.com/ https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
