Five Rings Training

This article was written for all the students who train at our fight training dojos at Five Rings Training but ultimately this advice is applicable to anyone who feels they need help in increasing their concentration, focus and productivity at work, school or university: Switch Off Your Phones During periods of study, exam revision period weeks or periods of intensive work within your business or employment, commit to switching your phones off, (not the ringer off, the whole phone power button) for periods of 2 Hours at a time. During that time, focus entirely on one topic. After the 2 Hours get up, walk about, hydrate and take your eyes away from the screen, go for a quick 20 mins sprint, eat. Then get ready for your next 2 Hours intense study session. You must do this to maintain energetic stability and not burn yourself out. Everything needs to be approached moderately, in a disciplined and steady way. The phones must be switched off (naturally keep communications handy i...

Energy is everything. From the quality of your own energy, to that of others and the environments we live in, energetics affect our worlds every day in every way. Human Energetics In Human Energetics , energy is the bind of the body to the soul. When we are training at Five Rings Training we are specifically concerned with the relationship between body and soul, and train with the intention to increase the connectivity between both. If energy is the binding, then we want the quality of that bind to be as strong, clear and focused as possible. As Humans we are both physical and spiritual: our body is physical, our soul is spiritual. Our energetics is where our physical and spiritual meet. We therefore need to cultivate an awareness of this connection and understand fully how the quality of our energy has both physical and spiritual impacts on ourselves and others. The Importance of E nergetic Training Energetic Training is an advanced form of training which uses a spir...

Why the I've Done list is as important as the To Do list One of the best production tools I've ever used is my I've Done list. My To Do list gets written every night before I go to bed: a considered and realistic list of items to be ticked off the following day. Typically these sit in two categories of: Things I need to do Things I want to Asterisk the ones which make me money. Highlight the ones which are good for me. Delete as many of the others as possible. That's a simple To Do list efficiency tool because half the time the things we think we should be doing aren't the things which are useful to us, at all. I could go into more depth here by explaining that the 2 hours of yoga and the 10km run plus the half hour spiritual study and afternoon power nap are list features I consider to be as important as nurturing new clients and sending out invoices. That's for another post on daily actions, coming soon. For now we'll assume whatever is on...
