30 Days of Martial Arts Challenge - Episode 279

Sensei Rob Domaschuk is once again joined by Jeremy to talk about the interesting 30 Days of Martial Arts Challenge. How many times do you train in a week? Most of us devote the weekend or one weeknight for our martial arts training because we can't really train that much without work or school coming on our way. Sensei Domaschuk has found a way to address this by training 1 hour or even 5 minutes at home or anywhere and it's quite effective. He discusses his 30-day challenge and how martial artists can maximize this to its full potential. Listen to learn more!
