Drop a comment below and let me know: 1️⃣ Total beginner 2️⃣ Martial arts experience but new to Eskrima 3️⃣ Eskrima for a few years 4️⃣ 10+ years experience Bonus question: What’s ONE thing you most want to improve right now? (flow, basics, sparring, footwork, drills, teaching, etc.) This will really help me tailor future videos, drills, and courses to the community 🙏

The last few days I’ve been dealing with sciatica — sharp pain running from my lower back down my leg. Not the “oh that’s uncomfortable” kind… the kind that reminds you how much you take movement for granted. As someone who trains, coaches, and preaches consistency, this stuff is humbling. But it’s also a reminder of a few important things: • Training isn’t about being invincible • Rest and rehab are part of the process • Listening to your body is a skill, not a weakness I’m still moving. Still showing up. Just adapting — mobility work, gentle movement, breathing, and patience (the hardest part 😅). If you’re dealing with pain, setbacks, or frustration right now — you’re not broken. You’re just in a different phase of the journey. Forge isn’t just built in the hard rounds… It’s built in how you respond when things don’t go to plan. 🔥

I’m sharing a short video here from Napoleon Hill on the power of PMA — Positive Mental Attitude. This idea isn’t just for business or success books… it applies directly to martial arts and training. The mindset you bring into a session often decides what you get out of it. A strong PMA helps you: Stay consistent when motivation dips Learn faster from mistakes Handle pressure and setbacks Keep moving forward, one rep at a time Have a watch and take one idea from it you can apply this week — in training or in life. Question: How do you keep your mindset strong when things get tough? Drop your thoughts below 👇 https://youtu.be/e2FQKfcAu6I?si=p9k5qZx5kO4Cvp0p

Flow follows.
