Road trip training = opportunity.

Will be starting a road trip across British Columbia into Alberta, up through the Drumheller badlands to Banff, Jasper, across to Prince George and home. I will be taking my sword and shield, as don't want to lose what proficiency I have obtained.  The rest of my training is ...opportunity. The chance to be thrown into strange environments, without my clubbells, kbells, trx, sticks, practice knives. I could take some of this along, but i want to create a chance to train in hotel gyms, or to get back to pushups, lunges, chins.  To have to pick up a branch, or a broom, , or a frying pan, and go through the Arnis flow with it.  The chance to  challenge myself to adapt.  A major purpose of training, for me, is to allow me to rise to challenges, to seize opportunity, to have the strength, endurance and confidence to able to try new things.  At Acadamie Duello they say "Gioco Largo : Making Space, Creating opportunities"...I am making space in my life, and creating the opportunity for a new look at familiar things. As I say to my students, samerent, same, yet different.
