Training in martial arts Brisbane can provide you with strengths that help you achieve your career/study/life goals.
The next series of blog articles will follow a general theme outlining the practical use of training to gain these mental and emotional strengths whilst maintaining the fun and enjoyment that training gives you.
Focus….dictionary definition – an act of concentrating interest or activity on something:
Focusing is less necessary when you simply want to work up a sweat and get fit – but vital when the exercise becomes ‘training’.
The difference is in carrying out movements only to exercise your body – and in learning how to carry out the movements correctly, effectively and to your best ability at that stage of your training.
Look at it this way – If you go jogging, you don’t have to think “put the left foot in front and balance while doing it, now put the right foot in front… you just do it you don’t have to focus very much on what you are doing, it’s mostly automatic.
Taekwondo training needs lots of focus, that’s why it grabs and holds you.
That focusing eliminates exercise boredom and makes you train thinking about what you are doing rather than just ‘working-out’. For example, you may want to master a new kick or improve the speed of your hand techniques so you’re required to focus on those things, training your body to move as you want it to in order to improve your ability.
There are two types of focus – visual and internal.
Visual focus is obvious and easy, see the target, judge where you need to be to punch, kick, block or strike it and go for it.
Internal focus is much more difficult; in relation to Brisbane Taekwondo training it’s about gathering your body’s power and delivering it to the target. Think of it this way, next time you practise a punch visualise drawing the strength from all parts of your body, from the soles of your feet up through your legs and torso into your shoulder, down your arm and into the fist and finally transfer that power from your fist to deliver an intense punch to the pad or target. That’s internal focus.
There are some really great benefits in learning to focus in this way. Firstly it gets results in your self defence Brisbane training so it’s a fun way to gain a valuable life skill, and once you’ve learned how to focus your mind on a specific task you can apply it to any task that you need to accomplish. You’ll find you are able to think clearly and gather all the components of what is required and bring them together to accomplish the task successfully.
