CONSISTENCY

In the age of multitasking CONSISTENCY and PRESENCE is rare. We are distracted and unfocused all the time. We are trying to talk to someone, answer SMS:s, update Facebook and Twitter all in once. As soon as we do all in once we simultaneous do close to nothing.

Media multitaskers pay mental price, Stanford study shows

Same goes for learning martial arts, it doesnt get better just because you try to learn everything in once. You still has to focus on one thing at a time and then do it again and again until it becomes a reflex. Depending on the complexity of the move, it takes 2-5000 repetitions to turn it into a natural reflex. So when you train all those different things in once you never reach the 5000 repetitions. To reach a 100 repetitions in 50 things wont make you a world champion and the lifesaving reflex is never gonna happen.

So lets get boring. Do one thing again and again and again. Then you can be a happy world champion. You just have to work with a hard and strong goal and create and outstanding plan to get there.

Be boring with a big smile on you’re face!
