A short video on one way in which the martial arts crossover to everyday life. Martial arts can teach us to be very aware of our bodies and emotions while ensuring they remain advisors and not rulers.

This video was filmed immediately after some cold-water swimming. Don’t be tempted to do this! It can be extremely dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing!

I know the location well, I had checked the water temperature (this video shows third time in), I am always close to the shore, I am never out of my depth, I have no medical issues that could be worsened by cold water, I have the means to warm up when I come out, I’m experienced at it, etc.

Cold showers are a safer option and always seek medical advice before subjecting your body to new stresses.

All the best,

Iain
