Visualisation. How it can help you.

This is a great way to prepare for gradings and to just learn the moves for each belt. Visualisation will fast track your skill and ability. You can use visualisation anywhere any time. It is a must for anyone who is studying martial arts online.

I am often asked, or I hear comments that it is impossible to learn martial arts online, by yourself. Well, I don’t agree. You have a huge resource sitting on your lap. I have spent many hours doing techniques using my mind. I would sit in a comfortable chair or lie on the floor and watch myself as I rehearsed all the techniques, over and over again.

There were times that I thought I needed a partner to train with. Then I discovered the power of visualisation. The key her is to not get upset with yourself if you get caught up losing track of your thoughts or falling asleep. That is going to happen. Just reset and repeat. Learn the order of the techniques and see yourself doing them using all the basic concepts that you learn along the way.

This entire exercise should take you about 10-15 minutes. Try and do it twice a day. You will be amazed at how well this works. I have used visualisation in martial arts competitions and gradings, and I always have the edge. You can use the same concept outside of the dojo. When you are studying for an exam or playing sport, anything.
