MEMBER STORY - LADIES SEMINAR 2017


This is my second year attending the ladies seminar. In the 10 weeks, Rob teaches us techniques and about body mechanics to help us push through the initial reaction of panic and fight through the exhaustion and discomfort so you can find a way to get home safely. When I started two years ago, I wouldn't have guessed that I would be most grateful for the exposure to stimulus like grabs, hair pulling or being pinned to the ground so that if it ever were to happen outside of training, it is not the first time I've felt it. The instructors do such an amazing job putting the pressure on to simulate these situations for us and put their bodies on the line week after week to allow us to learn in an environment that is safe, yet challenging.

Looking back and comparing my experience this year with last, I was surprised in how much training has changed the way I feel and react to being in some very uncomfortable situations. I've noticed a change in the threshold of what triggers panic, fear or anxiety in me and I've found I'm quicker to push past this and find a solution. It has proved to me that through repetition and time, you can train your body and mind to react differently.

Every week I am inspired by all the amazing ladies in Arakan Martial Art and I can't wait for next year!

Martial Arts as the Ultimate Fitness Regime

Walk into any gym and what do you see? Rows of treadmills, people doing curls in front of mirrors, endless racks of weights, and plenty of people scrolling on their phones between sets. For a lot of guys in their 20s, this is the default version of “fitness.” You go to the gym, you lift some weights, maybe you throw in a bit of cardio, and you call it a day.

Building Unshakable Confidence

Confidence. Everyone talks about it. Everyone wants it. But very few people know how to truly build it.
In your early to mid-20s, confidence is everything. It shapes how you show up at work, how you handle relationships, how you interact socially, and even how you see yourself when you look in the mirror.
The problem is, a lot of young men go searching for confidence in all the wrong places - in social media likes, in trying to impress people, in pretending to be someone they’re not. That kind of confidence is fragile. It crumbles the moment things get real.
Real confidence isn’t about faking it. Real confidence is unshakable because it’s earned. And one of the most powerful ways to earn it is through martial arts.
Let’s break down why.
