As technology continues to progress, we have more ways than ever
before to communicate with others. However, we think most would
agree we are actually more out of touch than ever before. Not only
are we out of touch with others — not knowing there true
intentions, wishes, needs, even personalities — but we are also
growing more out of touch with ourselves. How can one begin to know
others when they don't even know him or herself? We feel you get to
know others by knowing yourself. And much of how you get to know
yourself is through your personal interactions with others.
When training in the martial arts, we tap into our training
partners' rhythms, energies, and cadences. Not only do we supply,
but we also receive more data through multiple senses with eye
contact, physical contact, body language, etc. This carries over to
the outside world where we are better prepared to communicate with
others. Whether it's good, bad, or ugly — we're better equipped to
handle the interaction. With text, email, and social media, we are
losing the ability to effectively interact and communicate with
others in person. Don't text for a day, a week, even a month. Call
that person or go talk to them face to face. See how your life
changes.
