Make Your Future

Reaching your full potential, your best future self, becoming who you want to be, and achieving what you want to achieve, getting what you want from life, begins with imagining it. From there, since in the many timelines of your life which shoot off from this moment, in theory, this future has already happened, you now can easily work towards this future you, this successful you.

Julius Caesar was a leader, and he saw himself leading men to greatness. He had imagined it his whole life and made it happen through hard work and politicking the right people. If he had seen himself differently, perhaps his friends, including Brutus, would not have stabbed him to death on that March day. Maybe if he had learned a bit more hand to hand self defense and increased his awareness of his surroundings things would have been very different for him.

March madness comes over many people. It is a perfect time to see your future self, plan on the steps you need to take to get there, and to begin the actions needed to put those steps into place.

Martial Arts training at Ancient Ways is a fantastic method for making yourself into the best version of your future self. We currently have adult students who give their training credit for some pretty amazing things.

We have students of all ages but unlike most schools, more than half are adults who train a couple of hours per week. They are our longest attending students. It should tell you something. It is easy to fool children that you know what you are doing. These adults wouldn’t be attending for decades if the program wasn’t great. Some of these adult students are in their 70’s, all of them have one health issue or more, just like you, that they have learned to work around. Parents will let their kids quit, but these adults see the value and continue through the tough times, year after year, decade after decade. Perhaps it can help you too.

Parents, you don’t have to just watch your kids, you can train too. Doing so tells your child how important this training is, so they will stick with it. It will give you a common bond, strengthening your connection forever. It will improve your health, giving them the role model, you want to be.

Accept this as my invitation to come try us out for a week at no cost. I’ve attached our adult schedule, the grey classes are the best for adults. No one is going to judge you here, everyone of us started as a white belt and we remember what it was like, just try it. Just reply to this SMS and we’ll schedule a quick private lesson so you feel sure of yourself in your first class.

Hope to see you on the training floor soon,
