Summer Training
One of the most important aspects of martial arts training is summer training. Often times with the warmer weather, school being out and vacations, martial arts training get put on the back burner. So just how important is summer training?
One of the keys to success in life is establishing healthy routines. These routines when started young are the keys to a successful life! Children need routine, especially in the summer when school disappears. I had one parent say to me many years ago that her son worked very hard during the year (he was 9) and he deserved to do nothing in the summer. now he is no longer a student, but it came as no surprise when one summer out of boredom and lack of direction he got in trouble with the law.
