I am filled with the spirit of Taekwondo! 10am training this morning with instructor Brian Mcnamara at The Power Station. I just got done with an evening training outside en el campo! We ran barefoot through the fields, we ran over gravel and we trained under the trees. At one point we found ourselves in a garden and were naming plants in Spanish and English. We talked about training outdoors and about growing food. We learn to endure wind, cold, rain, heat, and rough terrain. We discussed that the fight of life and martial arts is not only one of kicking and punching. Life is a fight where there isn’t always enough food, a fight against poverty, a fight of personalities, a fight of endurance against the elements and against our own demons. When we work hard and when we learn to endure, that is also part of our training. If we can learn to endure the elements, and if we learn to punch and kick and to stay calm in combat, we can endure much in life. This is all part of Taekwondo. Just like the old school pics of students running in the forest and climbing waterfalls in their uniforms. I am filled with the Spirt of Taekwondo, and I love the oldschool Dallyon!
