The results from 2026 ISKF Canada National Championship! Congratulations to all competitors!
The words from Sensei Marc:
Some thoughts for you.
- Your mind determines most of your reality.
- When you see hard challenge, thinking "I will step up here, I have to be at my best" is better for you than "oh no X is happening".
- This is true whatever the outcome!!!
- Why?: the best you can do is your best plus a bit more. The step up thought is the max way to do that. Biochemistry and psychology combine into a powerful reaction.
- The other thoughts inhibit you, they drop your function, weaken your chemistry and resolve.
- You need to develop a habit of stepping up into adversity, small ones and big ones.
- Training is an excellent way to do that.
- Training is your mind as much as body and technique.
- Only real hardship works. You can't fake it. Push yourself into fatigue, go beyond your limit then .... begin not giving up.
- Facing a faster experienced opponent is the perfect time to step up to your best.
Then keep pushing each other. Create a space of constant challenge. Help each other by pushing them beyond.
The difficulty, your fear, your weakness, is the way forward. Don't go around it.
The obstacle is the way.
