Welcome to Episode #101 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “You Are the Dojo.” A few years ago, I made a video called, The World Is Your Dojo. The message—that you can learn anywhere, from anyone, at any time—is still a good one. However… …it’s not the whole story! In fact, I’d say I missed the most important point. In this episode, I’m going to explain how the lockdowns we experienced during the Covid pandemic not only changed the world, but changed my mind about dojos. After all, aren’t you a part of this world? So, then it makes sense that you are a dojo, too! The only question is—what kind of dojo are you? Is your dojo open or closed? Quiet or noisy? Changing or stagnant? Let’s talk about making sure our dojo is the best it can be and accepting our role as both a student and teacher in the martial arts… and in life.

Welcome to Episode #100 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “Throw the First Punch.” That’s right! We made it to Episode 100. I say “we” because if you weren’t here, I wouldn’t be here either, so thank you for your support! 🙂 In this show, I share my thoughts on two very different strategies for living a happy life. The first I would call, “Quiet and Private,” and the second, “Loud and Proud”. Trust me–I’ve tried both strategies and the difference is significant! Of course, these two strategies can also be applied to your martial arts practice. So, if you want to make the most of your training time, I’ve got some advice for you– Stop waiting for things to happen and MAKE things happen! Send that email.Take that class.Tell your story.Ask for help.Throw the first punch!

Welcome to Episode #99 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “You Are a Master.” Do you ever feel like a martial arts “loser”? Ever feel like you’re so far away from achieving your goals that you might be better off just giving up? STOP! I bet you’re doing just fine. In fact, I have some good news for you– You are already a master…you just don’t know it. Is that possible? Can you really be a master without knowing it? Well, that’s the advice someone gave me years ago. To be honest, those words of wisdom made no sense at the time, but over the years, I believe I figured out what my teacher was trying to tell me. If you’ve got a few minutes, I’d like to share that message with you! Uh–42 minutes, actually. But if you listen on double speed, it’s just 21. 🙂 Anyway, to LISTEN to “You Are a Master,” you can either: Play the audio podcast below… or download to your device.Subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher or Google Podcasts or Spotify.

Welcome to Episode #98 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “Tame Your Brain to Win the Game.” Are you too smart for your own good? Does overthinking get in the way of performing at your best? If you’re like me, the answer is YES! My mind is so busy judging, worrying, and arguing that it sometimes stops me from learning and growing. Sure, I’ve gotten better at training my brain to help me reach my goals, but the battle to maximize my mind seems to never end. In this episode, I’m going to share my most recent mental battle, along with some tips on how to tame the brain so you can approach your flow state more often. Is entering “the zone” or achieving “mushin” a random, unpredictable event or can you balance the powers of your mind, body, and spirit on demand? Let’s find out!

Welcome to Episode #97 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “Little Pain, Big Trouble.” Pain is part of life… especially if you’re a martial artist! But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to minimize injuries and avoid trouble. Those should be your first priorities in studying self-defense, in fact! Even though I KNOW this, I recently caused myself some unnecessary pain while preparing to move from Los Angeles to Raleigh, NC. I’m embarrassed to admit that my arm still hurts even as I type this! This little pain, however, serves as a great reminder that bad technique (combined with a bad attitude!) only makes life more difficult. I hope that by sharing my story, you can avoid some unnecessary pain in your life.

Welcome to Episode #96 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “Decision and Action.” It’s common in self-defense training to focus on the speed of your punches and kicks… but how fast can you make a decision and take action? Like it or not, no matter how good you are at performing your martial arts techniques, they won’t help if you freeze up or hesitate under pressure. That’s why we must train to pull the trigger and make things happen as much as possible. Join me for a story about taking action and, more importantly, some tips on how to maximize your safety and success in self-defense and life. In short–reflect, recreate, and rehearse!

Welcome to Episode #95 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “Respect for McDojos.” Is your martial arts school a “McDojo”? Could that term of derision ever be a good thing? I say YES! If your school or teacher is helping you reach your goals and improve your life, then keep going! Only you can judge what is worth your time, effort, and money. The fact is there will always be haters and naysayers no matter HOW you train or WHAT style you practice. So, don’t worry about the critics–just focus on YOU!

Welcome to Episode #94 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “Don’t Be Water, My Friend.” We’ve all heard Bruce Lee say, “Boards don’t hit back.” You probably also remember his admonishment, “Don’t think–feel.” No doubt about it… Bruce Lee was full of good advice. But that doesn’t mean I agree with everything he said! In this episode, I will turn a critical eye towards one of his most famous pieces of advice: “Be water, my friend.” Sure, it sounds cool, but I fear this idea is easily misunderstood and will actually limit your development as a martial artist… and human being! Join me for some good-humored analysis of the legend’s words… and a few words of advice my own.

Welcome to Episode #93 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “Cross-training Tips for Martial Arts.” Actually, a better title for this episode would be, “My First Ballet Class!” That’s right! I started taking online ballet classes a few weeks ago. No, not to become a better dancer, to become a better fighter! That’s what cross-training is all about, right? Looking outside your normal routine to find new ways to approach your old goals. But be warned–not all cross-training is created equal! In this episode, I will break down four different cross-training methodologies in the martial arts and give you my recommendation for the approach I find to be the most beneficial.

Cross-Training Tips for Martial Arts Here’s the video! If it won’t play, click this direct link. As always, if you’d like to keep the conversation going, feel free to leave a comment here or through my Contact Page. Summary There are four approaches to cross-training in the martial arts. #1: Unrelated activities with no goal. Maybe you practice Karate and play a little basketball on the weekend. Or maybe you like to swim, bike, or go for a run. Great! Obviously, improving your cardio or strength any way you can is worth doing, but those extra activities do not directly lead to skill development in Karate. #2: Related activities with no goal. Maybe you take a regular boxing class and occasionally work out with a friend who practices Wing Chun. Or maybe you went to a Judo seminar once. Great! Again, all worth doing, but these activities don’t necessarily lead to skill development. It’s just a little of this and a little of that… which leads to being a master of nothing. #3: Related activities with a martial arts goal. Maybe you’re a Kickboxing student who also takes a BJJ class. You chose this extra activity with the specific goal of filling a gap in your technical skills. Great! MMA has made it clear that relying on just one range of fighting is a risky strategy. Outside of combat sports, if you’re interested in self-defense, you must also consider cross-training to address weapons and multiple attackers. But so long as you’re designing your training routine around specific goals, you’re cross-training effectively. That said, to this point, all three methodologies have focused mainly on technical issues–how to be an effective martial artist. The fourth methodology takes training one step farther… #4: Related activities with a LIFE goal. This approach seeks to cure imbalances not just in technique, but in personality, behavior, and lifestyle. You choose specific activities that will benefit you as an overall human being, which will then make you a better martial artist as a result. In that spirit, ballet is offering me a range of physical, psychological, and even spiritual benefits, including: Posture and balance. Not just for fighting, but for everyday life. Moving with confidence is not the same as moving with grace.Leg conditioning. They say we get older starting with the feet. Spending time focused simply on how the feet interact with the ground is self-defense from falling.Opening the head and torso. Fighting requires shelling up with the chin down. Ballet teaches the complete opposite! Lifting your chin and leading with the chest welcomes vulnerability, which requires a different kind of courage.Opening the hips. Are you familiar with the turnout? Ballet demands opening the groin and hip area constantly. Exposing the groin is even scarier than lifting your chin!Fluidity in movement. Yes, martial arts seeks smooth movement, too, but flowing from posture to posture without worrying about being cut or punched allows you to focus more deeply on movement just for the sake of movement. There’s freedom in that!Ego check. I’m a terrible dancer… being yelled at for it is quite humbling! Of course, I also face challenges in the martial arts, but my ego can always fall back on other skills to make me feel better. Not so in ballet!Challenging self-beliefs. Like I said, I’m a terrible dancer. That belief is burned into my identity. But should it be? Maybe if I can change one core belief about myself, I can change others.Exercising courage. As a teacher who yells at everyone to step out of their comfort zone, I need to lead by example… and remember how difficult it can be to try something new! So, how can you make the most of YOUR cross-training? Ask yourself three questions: #1: What do you want? Why are you training? If you don’t have a goal, you can’t measure your progress. If you don’t know when you’re improving, you won’t know how to modify your training routine. #2: What are you doing? It’s critical to analyze your training to figure out which activities are getting you the results you want. By removing activities that are NOT helping you, you will free up time to experiment with something else. #3: What are you NOT doing? The goal of cross-training should be to fill gaps in your skill set and correct imbalances in your life. Like a doctor, you must prescribe activities that will cure the habits and behaviors that are working against you. Physically, when I did too much pushing and not enough pulling, I tore my shoulder. Emotionally, when I lost my temper too often, I tore relationships apart. Enlightenment as a human being should not steer you into a behavioral rut… it should offer you choices. Be warned–if you don’t seek balance, you will be vulnerable to injury. Not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, financially–in every way possible. So, don’t just cross-train to be a better martial artist, cross-train to be a better human being. The post #93: Cross-Training Tips for Martial Arts [Video + Podcast] appeared first on Sensei Ando.

Welcome to Episode #92 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “Shouting at the Moon.” Stress is a part of life… especially this year! The challenge—if we want to maximize our health and happiness—is to find effective ways to face and manage that stress. Is martial arts training one way to do that? Absolutely! But there’s another exercise that I discovered by accident back in my teenage years… a simple, but powerful exercise that I still practice to this day. In this episode, I’ll share that experience and detail the four life-changing lessons it taught me. You can watch the video, listen to the audio, or scroll down for the Cheat Sheet. 🙂 To LISTEN to “Shouting at the Moon,” you can either: Play the show below… or download to your device.Subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher or Google Podcasts or Spotify.

Shouting at the Moon Here’s the video! If it won’t play, try this direct link. As always, if you’d like to keep the conversation going, feel free to leave a comment here or through my Contact Page. Cheat Sheet When I was young man, I often felt alone, insecure, and frustrated. To combat the uncertainty of life, I sought to control what I could—starting with my body. That’s what led me to pursue the martial arts. Without a car or access to a school, I usually ended up training on my own… and usually at night… shouting at the moon. Once I had burned up all of my teen angst, I would then find myself lying on the ground… staring at the moon. That time on the ground changed my life. Here are four lessons I learned in the moonlight… LESSON #1: Silence. Once we turn off the noise of the outside world, we can tune into the inside world. Quiet time is quality time! Let there be no such thing as “awkward silence” in your life… only comfortable silence. Sitting in silence allows a release of tension, which leads to a sense of equilibrium between you and the environment. Seek to fill your inner space and connect it to outer space. LESSON #2: Motion. Once we stop running around from task to task, we can find stillness. While stillness may provide some calm, it is not lasting… because it is an illusion! Staring at the moon will reveal that the world is always in motion… and so are you. Your heart beats and your blood flows just as surely as the earth spins and the planets circle the sun. You are not stuck. You are not frozen. Instead of focusing on the splashing of the waves, go deep and ride the undercurrents. LESSON #3: Darkness. As children, we are afraid of the dark and imagine monsters under the bed. As adults, we fear the unknown and can easily imagine the worst in others and ourselves. When you lie on the dark under the moon, you realize that you are part of the darkness… and darkness is part of you. You realize that YOU can be the monster under the bed… if you choose to be. So, don’t fear the dark. Accept it and feel the power to face the unknown. LESSON #4: Belonging. It can be stressful when you feel you don’t “fit in” with your family, friends, religion, or country. Yet, you are always at home in the universe. You were born here. You belong here. Remember that and you will always find a sense of peace… which will lead you to to finding your purpose. Ultimately, you won’t need to look up at the moon and the stars for inspiration or comfort… you can simply look inside. That’s where you will see that you are a star… and understand that you always have the power to shine through the darkness. Keep shining, my friend!
