Dojo is simply translated as gym, club or place of training in English, but I want you to know more about the meaning of dojo, so you will know why I named our club MMA ITO DOJO. 

The word “ DOJO “ consists of two different KANJI characters, DO (道） and JO (場). 
“DO” means “Way", but also meaning long journey for attaining something great. “JO” means “Place”, but also meaning somewhere like church, temple, or sanctuary in this sense. So, “ DOJO “ means a sacred place where people get together with respect, peace, and happiness, learning and practicing to attain something great in their journey. And through this journey, we will improve ourselves to be better people. 

I want all my students and even myself to remember that, and respect the place, people, and equipments in the dojo, so we can continue to keep going in the right direction as Martial Artist and as humans

6, Life style and habit

​What I  focus on  to stay healthy and energetic all the time is 
1, Mindset   2, Physical exercise   3, Food   4, Recovery   5, Breathing.
And this time is the final topic “ 6, Life style and habit "
“ We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."              Aristotle​
                                                                              

Even if you learn the topics above, if you don’t apply them, the knowledge will be wasted.
After applying the knowledge, you have to keep using that until it becomes part of your life style and habit. Otherwise you can’t achieve a healthy and energetic body.
Most people don’t even apply this knowledge. Even if they apply them, they don’t keep doing. 
That’s why they can’t achieve results. That is exactly the same as learning Martial Arts techniques. 
We must have a lot of repetitions to master one technique until that becomes habit, but most people don’t have the patients to keep doing the same thing over and over. Losing interest easily, giving up easily, then they can’t master even one technique.
Getting healthy and energetic body is same. We have to be patient, and keep doing until that becomes part of our life style and habit.

If you have a unhealthy life style and habit now, try to change to healthy way as soon as possible. You might be OK right now but life style and habit is repeating everyday, so that builds up slowly but surely, if you keep going, you will have some health problem sooner or later. 
Also, sometimes you don’t  realise you have bad habits, something like fast and shallow breathing, or thinking negatively all the time, etc.

If you need help to find those bad habits and fix, or need help to change your life style to healthy way, start PT session at the MMA ITO DOJO.
