Dress Like it Matters

Street Clothes Week… it’s a student favorite at The Martial Arts Studio. Why? Because students don’t have to change into a uniform (a.k.a. Gi) before coming to class. They can train just as they are. And one less step is easier. Everyone likes easier.

But what’s the purpose behind Street Clothes Week? Well, chances are you’re not going to get in a fight while leaving martial arts class. Nope. Most likely something would happen while you’re out and about in regular clothes. So, you have to know what it feels like to throw that Front Kick in jeans. Or, how having a jacket on may affect your ability to get out of an arm grab. Makes sense, right.

But now, you’re probably asking yourself… OK if we’re not going to be wearing a martial arts uniform when being attacked, why wear one for training at all? Good question. And the answer probably isn’t what you think (like… because it’s traditional). We wear uniforms because it puts you in the right MINDSET for what’s about to happen… training. 

See, what we wear sends a message… to ourselves and to others. Wearing bunny slippers and a “Kiss Me I’m Irish” T-shirt to work tells your boss that (1) you’re not going to take the day’s responsibilities seriously, and (2) you (hopefully) don’t have any in-person meetings that day. And, to your brain that outfit says, “I don’t really want to be here and am only going to do what I have to in order to make it through the day.”

How you dress sets the tone for not only how you think, but what you do. Dressing with a purpose gives you purpose.

So, that's why we train in uniforms. Not because they look cool ('cause they do), but putting on a uniform get you in the right head space for what's about to happen. Mindset matters.

For Seven years living in the island of Boracay this is what I’m dreaming to paddle board around the Island. Now my Dream come true I’m very happy i did it. Thanks to my friend who invited me and give me opportunity to experience this wonderful activities. The first time we went go around the island we are a big group and we didn’t make it only half of the island we been paddling coz we started late and we are afraid of the curfew. I enjoyed even we didn’t make it but a bit disappointed I said to my friend I will paddle board again even I’m just alone. The next day morning my friend saw my stories on Facebook that I’m on the gym having my workout, in the afternoon I received a message if I want to join for paddle board again around the Island but this time small group only so I say YES we started at 2:30 pm then finished at 7:30pm it was dark already but I’m so glad that i made it. I will definitely to do it again so amazing I saw a lot of things in the sea a lot of flying fish infront of me etc. I love Boracay Island. #BeFocus #BePurposeful #bepositive #youcandoit (at Boracay Investment Property) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRF5dz2jGCN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Since we are approaching the end of all things, be intentional, purposeful, and self-controlled so that you can be given to prayer. Above all, constantly echo God’s intense love for one another, for love will be a canopy over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:7‭-‬8 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/1pe.4.7-8.TPT #beintentional #bepurposeful #beselfcontrolled #giventoPRAYER #encourage #InCourage #emdelible #emPower (at Escondido, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4xiZWgHwZV/?igshid=1wy91n8tkcduv

I added some colorful leaves. The underpainting is a slow process. What I love about using acrylic in these early stages is that you can explore the surface of the canvas, allowing yourself the freedom to create the forms without preconceived notions. The reference for my #colorfulleaf is from the garden of @rettamarie7 and the #whitethroatedsparrow is from @saska018 #underpainting #natureartwork #artprocess #contemporaryartpractices #beautyofnature🍃 #artfromnature #natureartists #artprocess #layersoflife #bepurposeful #doyourbesteveryday (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUsSghUlt1i/?utm_medium=tumblr
