Report from the ITF Radix Seminar at Jessheim Taekwon-Do Club
Excerpt:
At the ITF Radix seminar in Jessheim, the main message was clear: you can’t become a good fighter without free sparring. While patterns are essential for structure and understanding, it’s in sparring that timing, coordination, and real self-defense ability are forged. This session reminded all students, especially the senior belts, that sparring isn’t optional, it’s vital.
Winning From Within: A Book That Trains More Than Just Your Body
In Winning from Within, Rachel Bates takes us on a profound journey into the heart of personal transformation, revealing that our greatest victories don’t come from sheer physical strength, but from the inner work that shapes our mindset and spirit. As practitioners at ITF Radix, we’re accustomed to pushing lines, blocks, and strikes; Bates challenges us to also push our boundaries of self-awareness, resilience, and purpose. Through vivid anecdotes and insightful frameworks, she guides us to uncover hidden beliefs, realign our intentions, and step onto the mat of life with authenticity and clarity. For those dedicated to martial arts or any discipline demanding excellence, Winning from Within becomes more than a manual, it’s a catalyst for integrating our physical training with emotional and mental mastery.
