My site. My thoughts.
Written by Ethan Time   
Monday, 08 January 2007

I'm Ethan Time.  I coach martial arts and run meditation and hypnosis workshops.  This site is primarily dedicated to my thoughts on those subjects.  I've also been involved in the performing arts both backstage and on stage.  Some of my articles will be devoted to this for sure. 


I'm stating my opinions on martial arts and other things so publicly for a many reasons.  Here's a couple...

I care.  I care about my own training, I care about my training partners, and I care about my students.  I want to grow in my own endeavors and I want those with me to thrive.

I'm grateful. I feel tremendous gratitude to my teachers past and present.  They've helped to instill in me an open mind and the need to be an independent thinker.  Even when people in the organizations in which I've belonged seem to obey blindly and fall lock-in-step with every directive, I will always remember my teachers' original lessons; always seek multiple sources, think independently, and don't follow like sheep.


Please read everything you'd like and keep your own mind open.  And send me feedback.  I appreciate it.

Physical Fitness & Randori in Martial Arts
Written by Ethan Time   
Monday, 23 April 2007

When you've been training in martial-arts for a while, it can sometimes be easy to lose sight of what you are actually training for.  Whether your personal goal is self-defense, sport fighting, or just practicing an old tradition, it still involves fighting at the core.  And no matter your skill level, fighting is dangerous and difficult.

Your training therefore should reflect how you will fight.  The way you fight will certainly reflect how you trained.  Increases in skill will begin to lessen another's advantages due to strength and speed.  But until you are very skilled and have trained for many years, you should continue to work on personal physical fitness and practice randori (unscripted, free-flowing fighting in a safe environment), or sparring.
