#34: Two Big Lies In Martial Arts [Podcast]

Posted on August 28, 2015November 30, 2020 by Ando Mierzwa

Welcome to Episode #34 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “Two Big Lies in Martial Arts.”

The martial arts are full of myth and mystery… and a few outright lies!

In this episode, I reveal the truth behind two big lies in the martial arts. These two lies will hold you back from being your best, limit your success, and even put you in danger!

Don’t miss this one!

    I agree with Sensei Ando.
    We have to push to the extreme.
    In 2006, I decided that my motto will be:”Everything to the max, and even more”.
    I said “and even more because life can bring us or teach us new stuff along the line. We have to be aware that things we don’t know yet can happen, and we have to use them too.

      That’s true, Ingrid. Sometimes we THINK we’re giving our best and don’t realize that we can do MORE. It’s only by pushing through limits that we find our true power. Keep pushing! 🙂

        Keep pushing! You sound like the doctor 25 years ago when my son was born!!!! Ha, ha, ha!
        But seriously, even pushing myself further in every aspects in life is not enough!
        I don’t care, I keep pushing because it’s the right thing to do!

            Yes! “Push, pus, push!”
            That’s what your brother also said in episodes 26 and 27!
            Last week, I pushed my limits: I already read the transcripts of episodes 26 and 27 because I couldn’t completely understand J.D.!
            English is my third language and J.D. speaks to fast for me.
            I decided to give it a try, again.
            I already remembered from the podcast to push,push, push.
            And when I pushed, pushed, pushed, not stopping, I finally got used to his way of talking. It’s true that he thinks a lot like you, Ando, about martial art!

              Ha! Don’t feel bad– I can’t always understand JD, either! Keep pushing! 😀

                Yes! I’ll keep pushing. And after having watched your video “How to learn to fight faster” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6mkdpnC0Dw)
                with Sifu Matt, I choose my priority.
                I’ll push in that matter until I can upgrade to the next priority.
                Say “Thank you” for me to Sifu Matt.
