I am not sure about you but I do not like the cold, I am not as bad as some people in my family that want to have the heating on in September but having a cold upper back and shoulders isn’t something that fills me with joy Day 1 So the link between the Wim Hof method and Martial Arts so far seemed easy… Cold Therapy Without commitment and love for my students and my art, I could have easily gone back to my 9 to 5. My commitment to my chosen martial art, Wing Chun, has really been put to the test in 2020, the loss of students due to the virus, zoom teaching, stress, bills and motivation has really pushed me out of my comfort zone. That coupled with the meditation that I have done on and off for years, and a bigger commitment to daily meditation since the lockdown in March 2020 during the covid pandemic, breathing, no problem! CommitmentĪgain to study a martial art and then run a martial arts school takes daily commitment, not only from the business side, accounts, marketing but also from keeping students engaged, class planning, making things fun etc. BreathingĪnyone that studies martial arts knows that there will be aspects of “breathing” within the system. Okay I thought, I do not have a problem 2 out of the three above. “The Mini Class you receive one email per day over three days, one for each of the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method: Breathing, Cold Therapy and Commitment.” When I was reading the welcome email and before watching the video this paragraph stood out I have seen the iceman many times on YouTube, seeing him swim under ice-covered water, take ice baths and even run barefooted on snow and ice. The email title was Welcome to the Wim Hof Method Mini Class (Video 1 inside) I thought why not, entered my name and email and within a few minutes, I received my first video. I had a Facebook ad pop up on my timeline saying try the 3 day Mini Class Wim Hof method and see how you feel. Why I decided to try the mini class with the iceman He has set Guinness world records for swimming under ice and prolonged full-body contact with ice, and still holds the record for a barefoot half-marathon on ice and snow. Wim Hof, also known as The Iceman, is a Dutch extreme athlete noted for his ability to withstand freezing temperatures.
