Have Fun

One of the hardest things for me about running my own gym is I stopped having fun. The way I acted when I was a brown belt is not the same as what I do now. I think a lot of it was New York, I never really recovered from the traumatic experience of the karate school I taught at. Training should be fun though; you can laugh and joke, do dumb stuff (intentionally). The actual physical activity is hard enough without feeling like you're stifled. Find a way to enjoy training, even if it's singing Disney songs during the warmup.
