A Temporary Pause: Balancing Life, Health, and Martial Arts

Posted on May 10, 2023October 12, 2023 by Jeffrey Weese

Dear valued readers,

I wanted to take a moment to address the brief hiatus in posting on this martial arts blog. I assure you that my passion for martial arts remains strong, and I’m eager to continue sharing insights, experiences, and tips with all of you. However, life has a way of throwing curveballs that can temporarily shift our focus.

Lately, I’ve been preoccupied with tackling spring chores and trying to balance my personal and professional life. I’ve also been dealing with some health issues that have demanded my attention. As much as I’m committed to martial arts and this blog, it’s crucial to prioritize well-being and ensure that I can bring my best self to all aspects of my life, including my martial arts practice.

During this period, I’ve realized that it’s important for all martial artists to strike a balance between their practice, personal life, and health. There will be times when our journey may be put on hold or slowed down, but these moments can serve as a reminder of the importance of resilience and adaptability.

Please rest assured that I have not abandoned this blog, and I’m eager to get back to sharing more valuable content with you soon. In the meantime, I encourage all of you to continue your martial arts journey, practice self-care, and seek support from others when needed.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Stay strong, and I’ll see you back here soon!
