On this twenty-second episode of the podcast, I chat with Joydeep
(Joy) Halder. Training out of India, Joy is a black belt in
Kyokushin style Karate. Joy is also a business owner and job
creator working to create opportunities in India for
others.
On this episode, Joy shares how training multiple times per week
and sparring outdoors everyday has shaped his mindset. Training for
just a few years, Joy has been able to earn a black belt despite
going through difficult times in his personal life. Despite the
hardship in his external world, Joy has learned how to re-shape his
mindset through difficult training.
Joy talks about why it is important to include sparring in your
martial arts training. We discuss the fact that many martial arts
schools do not practice sparring and why this is not beneficial for
developing what Joy calls a "Budo Spirit". Joy explains that he
learned how to make sense of his life through training in the
martial arts. Through training outdoors in difficult all-weather
conditions, Joy and his teammates have developed a cohesion
community.
On this episode, you will learn about how training in full-contact
martial arts creates a better life off the mats by improving
discipline, your internal conversations, and confidence.
This is an episode you do NOT want to miss.
