Sommerleir- Martial Arts Summer camp
31 May- 2 June 2024
"Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own." - Bruce Lee
As martial artists, it is crucial to expand our horizons and explore different styles and training methods. By trying other styles, we can gain a deeper understanding of the martial arts as a whole, and become more well-rounded practitioners.
In the words of Dan Inosanto, "There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same." Whether you practice karate, taekwondo, or another style, there is always more to learn and explore.
Training in other places also allows us to experience different cultures and training environments. We can learn from other instructors and practitioners, and gain new perspectives on our own practice. This is essential for personal growth and development as a martial artist.
At the end of the day, the martial arts are about self-improvement and personal growth. By trying other styles and training in other places, we can push ourselves to new heights and become the best possible versions of ourselves. So let's embrace the journey and continue to learn and grow together.
