Five Rings Training

At Five Rings Training I train athletes and business leaders in how to take their game to the next level. Within that work some of the most rewarding journeys have been those which involved taking beginner sportsmen and women to national and world championship wins, and individuals with a dream to become successful start-ups.  High Performance is available for everyone, it is not an elite option available to a chosen few. Anyone in any chosen part of their life can decide at any time to increase their performance and capabilities and with the correct guidance and mindset the seemingly impossible can be achieved. Here are my Top 10 Ingredients to lifting yourself, your life and your capabilities to get your started: 1) Positive Feeding You simply can't expect any part of you: mind body energy or spirit to be in a good state or function well if you're not going to provide your system with positive food. By that I don't just mean nutritional or healthy, I mea...

We get what we focus on. I think many people have heard this phrase or similar such as "energy flows where attention goes" "you get what you think about" and so on, but what does this mean? Many of my clients speak of having spent time concentrating on what they want to achieve and then getting frustrated when it didn’t happen. There’s one simple reason for this and it’s TIME. Thinking about something and doing something about it are two different things. When we give something our time then we do both: thought and action. Thought, action and speech are our tools for creation in this life.  The more we can apply our thoughts and actions and speech to a vision or lifeplan the more energy of creation we apply to it.

I work with athletes as well as business leaders and th...

Ma is a Japanese term referring to distance, separation, interval, gap, temporal interval and also to psychological flow. In Japanese architecture ma refers to the regular intervals between structural posts and is further used to categorise rooms for activities.With this term we concern ourselves with the ‘space between.’ In its architectural context ma is the ‘event space’ of an activity or a moment, space defined by occupation of happening, occurrence, engagement of those present. Ma gives a volumetric and geometric value to this engagement, creating an activity or experiential chamber around which we build walls. Consider the tea ceremony: a series of human actions forming ritual, around which physicality is built to both contain and celebrate. The actions depict the geometry and volume of the built structure, pure design from within. So the heart of activity, of the intension, creates the physical world around it. This concept of building to contain, allow and honour event is diffe...
