It goes without saying that if you're going to participate in physical activity like the martial arts injuries can occur. I'm not telling any of you anything you don't already know. The questions we ask you this episode are how do you manage your injury and is it possible to continue training while injured. Give a listen and share your stories of how you managed your injuries and training.

It's been a crazy several months but we are finally back with new episodes. In this latest short episode I just give a brief history lesson on what's been going on as well as a preview of some of the episodes to come. Thank you to everyone who stuck with us and were "nagging" me to get back in the proverbial saddle.

More great content is coming your way so please stay tuned.

A good martial arts instructor does more than just teach martial arts. They share their experiences with you. They will be in your corner when you need them, sometimes literally. They will route for you inside and outside of the Dojo. They absolutely want you to succeed and gain as much as you can from the martial arts. That said they don't necessarily share everything. I came across a list of 10 things your martial arts instructor may not tell you, but it's good for you to know. Give a listen and see if you agree with them and my breakdown of them. Don't hesitate to share some of the things that you wish you knew, or wish you were told earlier in your training.

As a follow up to our last podcast, Random Questions, we have a sequel episode called Random Questions - Kids Edition.

Some of them even surprised me. Give a listen and see if he would've ask any of these questions.

Is weight training good for your martial arts? Who is the GOAT? What's my favourite memory from a tournament? These are some of the questions I was asked in our random questions podcast. Give a listen to find out the answers and the answers to many many more questions.

Today is January 16, 2023. Monday, January 16 in fact. Today is what they are calling Blue Monday. It's supposed to be the saddest day of the year, at least so far.
