How To Be Mentally Strong and Disciplined | Martial Arts and David Goggins

Hey everyone!
I'm fascinated by the history and philosophy of martial arts, which is why a few years ago I read "The Bubishi", a very important text in the world of Karate. That's were I found Fang Qiniang's story for the first time, and her principle of combining physical and mental conditioning for ultimate self-improvement was life changing. A few weeks ago, after listening to several interviews by David Goggins, I read his book "Can't Hurt Me," and as I read about how he used training to strengthen and "callous" his mind, I suddenly remembered Fang Qiniang's story, and was inspired to create this video.

"The Bubishi" is not only about the philosophy and history of martial arts, but also goes into other aspects of karate, so I wouldn't recommend it if you are only interested in its philosophy. Its section is a gem filled with powerful life lessons, however it is also a small part of the book's entirety.

Please share your thoughts in the comment section down below!

Thank you so much for watching!
