11/01: 3 Simple steps to getting what you want.
Category: Andy Dickinson's Power Talk
Posted by: Sensei
GETTING WHAT YOU WANT IN 2010.
We are in week 2 of 2010 so it's time to set some training goals. Where do you want to be in 12 months time? Are you committed to staying on track and pushing through the hard times as they come up?
I often use this simple process:
1. Decide what it is that you want.
Probably the hardest step. Getting off the fence and deciding.
2. Take the first step immediately.
Whatever it takes this follow through step is vital. It does not allow hesitation to build up.
3. Tell as many people as you can.
This puts leverage on you as we all want to walk our talk.
So here is a challenge for you. Try the above exercise now, with your martial arts training. Email me now to tell me what your plans are, don't hesitate: andy@northstarmartialarts.com.au
If you are unsure, read the article below on "Can I really get a black belt."

CAN I REALLY GET A BLACK BELT?
Every student that walks into Northstar has different strengths and weaknesses. Some are older some are younger, some really fit and strong, other smaller and less athletic. When you look at what is required further up the grades you have to realise that the syllabus and what you will be required to complete will be modified and expanded to suit YOUR particular age, fitness, gender and ability.
If you are young fit and strong and love to fight, we will shape a grading and graduation that suits that, if you are older, and more interested in Self Defence then that is how your advanced gradings will be prepared. We look at the individual and shape the advanced testing so that your strengths are enhanced and you get the absolute advantage in learning to defend yourself based on your own physical ability. So please don’t compare yourself to other students and believe that is what is expected of you, that would just be unfair.
Going for gradings at Northstar is setting short term goals and steadily working towards them based on your needs and physical capabilities. Accepting that there may be challenges along the way, not making excuses, living a moral martial arts code and overcoming mental limitations. Expecting everyone to do 50 breakfalls and 20 rounds of sparring is not a reality. Our syllabus is so comprehensive that you may not have to do any breakfalls but your multiple defence and self defence moves may be the focus of your grading.
We want you to be fit; body mind and spirit. Enjoy a fast dynamic work out of sweat and spirit, have fun and enjoy the experience and really more than anything believe that you can be really really proficient at martial arts and self defence purely based on what you are physically capable of achieving.
