Strategies for your BEST Training

Interesting enough there are many people with different thoughts about training. What is it, what it entails and how often do I really need to train. Since this keeps coming up I thought I would share some thoughts with you on this subject.  Here's how I think of it, you need to spend time in the field of interest wether sports or self protection in order to get any good. This is the one way you will know your true abilities weather for sport, fun or self defense. Training entails, focus, time, commitment, and a purpose when you head to the range. For example, what 1 thing am I going to work on today? It's also best to have a partner or someone to hold you accountable in your training because we all know its really hard to train yourself. Thats another reason to seek out quality Instructor in the area of interest to help you attend your true level.  When you start your training you need to be able to communicate your goals, clarify your questions, commit to your training and finally complete your training to get where you want to be in skills.  Final note this isn't a 1 day class, 1 private lesson, this is continuing  monthly commitment to truly improve your skills.
