Experiencing the Moment

One of the greatest benefits of martial arts training is to enable you to exist in a single moment in time. When I practice Kung fu it is very difficult to be thinking about anything else other than exactly what you are doing at that moment. In fact it happens to me as soon as I walk onto the training floor, my fellow students have commented that as soon as I enter the floor I look 100% focused on the training. I forget about the pressures of day-to-day life and let go of all those mental 'to do' lists and only think about the training. There are not too many times in life where we have the opportunity to purely live for the moment and experience this mental release.
