Martial Arts TRAINING: SUMMER Exercises
A selection of activities to perform during summer
Holidays are always a terrible enemy for martial arts’ constancy: we gain weight, we become lazy and we end up abandoning the practice.
If we really want to pursue a serious path, it is a good rule never to stop training but rather to adapt our daily workout (from time to time) to our needs (for rest, light-heartedness and fun).
Note – This article has been asked by one of our Core Course practitioners on Patreon (see how to attend our home study classes here Learn Kung Fu online: a beginner-to-expert course).
