Hard work paying off and distractions from training

It has been awhile since my last post. I have been busy with work, sick family members, a promotion in Kajukenbo,  the holidays and juggling this with training. Trying to train in the midst of normal every day happenings is difficult enough but when it is coupled with family member's illness and of course the holiday season really adds up. I work hard at making time to train and study but for reasons beyond our control sometimes the distractions from training just seem to build up making it difficult to train.

I have tried to compensate with more solo training but even then family matters take precedence at times. I am beginning to think the holiday season is about the most difficult time to train. Thanks giving family gatherings, company Christmas parties play hell on the diet and of course cut into training. Time to train needs to be "stolen" at this time of year because for various reasons it is taken away.

 I have been involved with First Nations Fighting Arts (Kenpo and Kajukenbo) under Sensei Lonewolf for over thirty years now. Not to mention being involved with my community doing many seminars on crime prevention and women’s self defense courses for several businesses, women’s organizations and clubs. I was once certified to train police officers in the self defense and use of force portions of state regulated police training and volunteered more hours than I can count as an auxiliary law enforcement officer. 


Most recently I become the State representative for the International Kenpo Karate Academies (IKKA).  So things have gotten busy and classes are going well  and some decisions have to be made in the future and of course other issues are just a part of life so time for training is harder to manage at  times but all one can do is muddle thru it the best one can.
