Never Stop Learning

We can’t all be world-class champions, but we can all be world-class students. 

A few years ago I had the opportunity to train with Mike Fowler while I was in Hawaii. He showed me a concept for catching the Kimura and Americana that I had never really seen before. Mind you, the Kimura and Americana are usually taught to beginners within the first few months of starting in the fundamentals class. But here I was, picking up something new on these most basic of techniques after over 10 years of training.

What’s the point here?

• Never discount “basic techniques”.  Go back to revisit them once in a while and see where you can make adjustments.

• There is never just one path to any given objective.

• Keep your mind open and you will never stagnate or get bored

• Most of all, NEVER STOP LEARNING
