Learn the Training Secret of the Masters!

What is the Master’s Club?

You’ve had times in your life when everything came together for you and there was a massive acceleration of successes.  It could have been in a physical activity, at school, at work, in finances, or in your relationships.  We’re not talking about slow, steady progress.  We’re talking about the time when it seemed like you could do no wrong.  When your results didn’t increase 1x or 2x or 4x.  They increased 50x or a 100x.  That’s a peak!  During those peaks, you can shoot by other people in performance, seemingly with no effort.  Those times in the outside world, the non-Water Mountain world, are rare and usually seen as being lucky.  They also very quickly end.

The ESSENTIAL SECRET of Peak Performance.

Kung fu or Qi Gong, at its highest level, is built to trigger these peaks.  That is fundamental to the very concept of kung fu and, in fact, is what the word kung fu actually refers to.  Kung fu doesn’t mean martial arts.  The term refers to a period of intense success in anything brought about by the right application of hard work.

No one can stay in the peak forever.  In our standard program, a member with regular attendance will experience 1 peak every 1 to 2 years.  When not in a peak, a member’s progress will be steady and regular--even when in the trough that always follows a peak.

If you want training peaks to occur more regularly, one right after the other, what you want is the Master’s Club!

The modern illusion about performance is that if you were to graph your progress (how well you perform against the passing of time) the graph would rise at a nice flat angle upward, but that’s not true.  Modern expertise theory (the study of success and skill) says that that isn’t true.  Ancient knowledge says that that isn’t true.  Your personal performance graph is up and down, with peaks and valleys, just like the waves on an ocean.  You can never change that.  That is how organic systems function.  We’re not trying to change nature.  We’re trying to take advantage of it, and get it so that those peaks come more densely packed together!

Master’s Club training has

7 ESSENTIAL TRAINING SECRETS OF THE MASTERS:

1)      Increase the number of peak times.

2)      Increase the length of time spent in the peak.

3)      Decrease the length of time in the trough.

4)      Recognize when you are in the peak.

5)      Make the best out of the “golden time” in the peak.

6)      To identify and demystify what a Master is.

7)      To create a realistic pathway to mastery of an art.

That’s it.  That’s the pathway to the Success of Mastery.  When a standard member hits a peak, I try to get the person to take full advantage of that time, because it won’t be there forever, and that is probably the peak for that person for that year or for those 2 years.  In the outside world, peak times are even rarer!  In the Master’s Club, I use the Club to help you create a personal system that will make those success peaks a much more regular event!

The Secret to Triggering Success Peaks Serially.

First, what I am saying here applies to every single aspect of living.  Not just martial arts or qi gong.  Remember, kung fu does not mean martial arts. 

There are 3 key elements to triggering a success peak:

1)      Intensive repetition.

2)      Behavioral control.

3)      Risk behavior.

Let’s take a look at how the Master’s Club is designed.

1)      Available class hours are increased, increasing the chance for intensive repetition.

2)      Behavior is directly addressed—in a sometimes very uncomfortable fashion, in person, and via this newsletter.  If you can not stand me being politely in your face, don’t be in the Master’s Club!  Even if you join because you just want to increase your hours, you can’t increase hours without altering your behavior to support those hours or you’ll fail horribly.

3)      Risk behavior doesn’t need to be stimulated, as Master’s Club members typically engage this themselves.  However, it is monitored and focused.

4)      Master expertise as a goal is described, as well as what you need to get there.

As you can see, the Master’s Club function is to get the pieces to you that you need to trigger serial peaks.  Those serial peaks are essential for pursuing arts mastery (or any significant life goal).
