Love what you said in this episode about shifting energy from the "someday I wanna..." things to the things you love doing and are doing well. I recently had to make some hard decisions about how I spend my time. It's great to have confirmation that I'm on the right track with narrowing my focus. Thanks, Ando!!!
You don't have to be a martial artist to appreciate Ando's wisdom, humor and solid advice. Listening gives me a way to work my brain, my heart, and my spirit while I strengthen my body. The podcast gets me through the tedious workouts. Don't get me wrong, I love the results of the workouts. But the podcast gives me a reason to actually look forward to all those reps. And, honestly, in each episode Ando reminds me of why I'm putting in the time and effort.
Sensei Ando has an easy-to-listen to style and great advice for everyone, including non-martial-arts students. I'm only 20-something episodes in, and I look forward to my commute when I have time to listen. Thanks, Sensei, from Nebraska!
Hi Ando,
My first technique was a strike set: front punch (front hand jab), reverse punch (rear hand jab), hook (lead hand), uppercut (rear hand). I remember the struggles of learning to move my feet properly, challenges of not leaning my torso & head forward and the importance of staying relaxed while striking (which can happen by controlling our breathing and smiling while we strike).
Warmest Regards,
Virgil Lee Dortch
HapKiDo, BJJ & Balintawak Practitioner
This is a show that makes you feel good and learn something in each episode 🤩 I love Sensei Ando’s wisdom from years of martial arts training here. Very authentic and friendly, kind and inspiring.
