🤼♂️ MINDFUL MARTIAL ARTS 🌀
Hey man, did you ever dream of becoming a martial artist?
And yet always found a reason not to begin?
Maybe you told yourself something like...
...I'm not strong enough.
...I'm not flexible enough.
...I'm too fat.
...I'm too thin.
...I'm not cool enough.
...I'm not man enough.
...insert most convincing excuse...
Or perhaps you have some experience in the field, but you've grown tired of...
...dogmatic teachers.
...ego-culture.
...lack of attunement.
...constant injuries.
Are you ready to let go of your old beliefs about yourself? To embrace your body and thus yourself and step into your power?
Are you willing to face your fears and work through your inner blockades in a safe environment where attunement and boundaries are central? Where you get the opportunity to experiment without getting shut down, and are helped up when you fall?
In other words: are you at the threshold of your journey in the world of Mindful Martial Arts?
During these workshops you will be initiated in a broad range of practices from various martial arts, centred around the theme of grappling. You will work with techniques from Judo, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Sambo, and more, with excursions to the realm of boxing.
I am a subtle teacher: instead of imposing a curriculum of techniques, I offer containers in which you will explore yourself. Your body will naturally tend to certain moves, to which I tailor my technical advice. The emphasis is on free exploration, with sparring as our core practice.
During the workshops consciousness is central, hence the name Mindful Martial Arts. We work with our breath, body-awareness and attunement to make sure we stay centred and relaxed. This is the biggest challenge of sparring, and the most fruitful. In this way, we make sure sparring remains safe, while optimising the learning curve.
Does this sound great to you?
Let me know by signing up for my mailing list. Once I have enough participants, I will start launching these workshops.
⏱️ The workshops last 2h, with longer seminars possible in the future.
📍 My hometown is Valkenburg; I work within a 45 minutes' drive: Heerlen, Maastricht, Sittard, Roermond, Aken, Luik, Hasselt.
🎟️ Show your interest by getting a free 'ticket' and fill in the short questionnaire. I'm interested to hear your motivation to take steps on this path, your preferred locations and the frequency with which you see yourself participating.
🥋 I hope to see you on the mats soon! 👹
