This week, in the midst of the global COVID-19 shutdown, we talk with Senior Systema Instructor, Founder of FightClub Toronto, and all-round great bloke Emmanuel Manolakakis. An uplifting conversation that vacillates between honest, tough-love advice and finding diamonds of positivity in the undeniable rough.
Along the way, we discuss:
differing emotional responses to the reality of the pandemic
why the emphasis of your training must (and should) change right now
the benefits of enforced creativity and motivation
concrete advice for students and Instructors during the weeks and months ahead
online and physical resources for solo training
Mentioned in this episode:
Weekly workshops with Vladimir Vasiliev at Systema HQ
Daily classes and specialized mental training with Emmanuel at Fightclub
Stay safe, strong and healthy, my friends.
