Imprinting. What does it mean for combative mixed martial arts? What we do on a daily basis imprints a routine. We wake up, we shower, we brush our teeth, get dressed and go to work. This is imprinting. This is what we do to acclimate into society and do our part. Why would your self defense training be any different?
Is it the demand for physical activity that makes imprinting so difficult? The daily routine of self defense practice can not only make you feel safe, but instills so many more positive qualities that when most people do imprint, it is taken for granted. This is not a bad thing. It simply becomes what we do.
If everyone on the planet could wake up with a martial mindset the world would be very different. A sense of discipline, confidence and honor would be as easy as waking up, brushing our teeth and showering.
