The power of intent

Posted on | by KMMA

 

Of all the blessings I am grateful for, one of the greatest is Intent.

Focused and applied Intent is a Super Power.

Intent is defined as a clearly formulated or planned intention : aim.

And it’s one of the great secrets of those that win.

 

We NEVER need be victim to our circumstances.

Some are, but that’s a choice. Life is always 10% what happens and 90% how we react to what happens.

This is a hard truth to swallow and not even popular today, but it’s true and those that embrace this truth, and learn to apply the Power of Intention to their lives become masters of it!

 

Today we begin Blackbelt Goal Setting Season at KMMA.

For the next 6 weeks I will be teaching how to harnass this Power using Goal Setting, Vision, PARRI (Plan, Act, Review, Renew and Improve) and other techniques, attitudes and attributes that EmPOWER us to go from where we find ourselves to where we want to be.

Students will also be setting, renewing and improving their own goals on the Quest to Blackbelt and Beyond!

 

I am fired up and can’t wait to spend this time with you!

We have 6 weeks not Holidays left to this year.

Together we will make them the BEST weeks of the year in preparation for the BEST year of each and all of our lives in 2021!

It won’t do it by itself- but it will with your intent and our help!

 

Dedicated to YOUR Success!

?? One Thing Successful People Do

Posted on | by KMMA

It’s unlike me to usually use someone else’s material- as you know, I like to write and share my own.

But Andy sent me such a good message this morning, I felt I had to share it with you:

 

🔥 One Thing All Successful People Do

How many times have you seen people going through the same things over and over again…

And staying stuck in the same spot?

You see people working hard in the gym … but even after a long time, there’s almost no changes to their body…

You see people working hard on their finances, and yet year after year … they are still struggling with handling their money…

You see people going on dates non-stop, but still desperate for a meaningful relationship…

Why is that?

Why is it that people do the work but they still lack what they really desire?

Let me tell you what it is…

It’s something that every successful person in this world takes seriously…

And puts into practice every single day…

INTENT.

Most of the people in this world who are constantly “stuck”…

Don’t do the required work needed…

And the ones who do the work and still struggle…

Are the ones who don’t grasp the concept of “intent” in its entirety.

Successful people live with intent in every action they take.

They know proper intent is a crucial component of the work they put in.

Just going through the motions isn’t enough for meaningful long-term success.

A person working out with intent feels each and every rep moving the muscle.

A person running a business with the proper intent pays close attention to their customer’s needs, and does whatever it takes to exceed expectations.

No matter what they do…

They live and breathe it…

And their intent is carefully in tune with their actions and with the result they desire.

Implement this in your life.

Whatever you do today…

And every day from now on…

Give it your all…

And practice doing it with the proper intent.

It will have a direct effect on the quality and speed of the results you wish to have.

      Andy Frisella

 

I hope this advice resonates with you like it did with me…..

and, if you’d like some help implementing, so that you can accomplish all of your personal and professional goals, give us a shot- it’s what we do!

Camaraderie, Why We Need It And How To Get It

Posted on | by KMMA

Latest graduating class of Blackbelts and various degrees, Oct 3 2020! Congratulations! They have camaraderie btw.

 

I was thinking this morning about my time in the Army and what I’ve missed about it and, while there is more than one thing, the greatest is the camaraderie.

Then I started thinking about my 38 years in the martial arts and the last 20 doing it for a living, empowering lives through my programs at Krav Maga Martial Arts, and I realized that what I love most- amongst the many, many great things I love about my mission- is the camaraderie.

 

  What is camaraderie and why do we need it?

ca·ma·ra·de·rie

/ˌkäməˈrädərē/

noun

  • 1.mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together:“a genuine camaraderie on the hockey team”

I realized two important things pondering cameraderie this morning:

     1. Over a literal lifetime in the martial arts, my memories of the people I have spent considerable time with are the greatest of many great memories.

     2. That camaraderie is the thing that my students are referencing when they say that they love our program not only for the great training, lessons and benefits they gain, but for the people.…..

We need positive interaction with others. We are wired that way. We long for the feelings of friendship and community and having fun socializing with other humans is just part of what we are created to do.

  And let’s face it, circumstances of recent history have stifled some of that for many; we have seen the dire results of people isolated and locked away from this basic human need. I am proud to say we are coming back from some of that and also that KMMA has been able to provide some normalcy during the whole pandemic through our live virtual and our live in the dojo programs…

     I do also think, however,  in meditating on my years of military and martial arts education service, that there is another element that makes the feeling of cameraderie even more special than the feeling of fellowship, which is also important but I would argue a step below camaraderie in degree.

  Camaraderie is the prize when we engage in a meaningful, purposeful mission with others, towards some greater cause; a situation where we are together with others,  but not just for the sake of being together but also for the sake of accomplishing a mission greater than ourselves.

   It’s what we do in the military and it’s what we do in the best martial arts programs.

It’s what we do at Krav Maga Martial Arts and it’s why the feelings of camaraderie are great amongst those that serve in the military and also those that are on the Blackbelt Leadership Quest at KMMA!
