Martial Arts Weapon Karate Bo Staff In TV Show

As a martial artist and professional motivational speaker, I like to combine some martial arts elements into my talks for added entertainment.  I use martial arts to illustrate important points of self improvement during my presentations.  One such example is that I bring out my martial arts weapon karate bo staff at certain points of my talks.

There is a concept I call comfort zone expansion in achieving success in self improvement.  A comfort zone is when you are just to set in your own ways and stay within areas that do not allow you to venture out to learn new skills.  Although as the term implies, you are very comfortable within your comfort zone, you don’t progress to achieve your goals.

You can usually achieve goals in self improvement only if you learn and develop new skills which will require getting a bit uncomfortable to expand your comfort zone.  I use my karate bo staff to show audiences what happened in terms of comfort zone in my own case when I was first training with this martial arts weapon.

I then relate the karate bo staff to everything else in life that one wants to do better in.  The same principle applies to every different area of life.  I like to say that expanding one’s comfort zone is contagious as one can apply the same principle from one area of life to another one.

Since my parts of my live talks with the karate bo staff (and other martial arts elements as well) are always so well received, I’ve decided to put this on video with an entire episode of Clint Cora Motivational WebTV to show my website visitors around the world on what the bo staff is all about.

This is actually episode number 10 from my Motivational WebTV series already.  I have had a lot of fun producing these episodes so far and I hope this new one will be entertaining and educational for your self improvement.  See it below.

Of course as always, your comments about this unique episode featuring my martial arts weapon, the karate bo staff, are welcome at the comments section of this blog as well as on Facebook.  If you missed any of the previous nine episodes, just go to Clint Cora Motivational WebTV archive.

Here’s a new article added to our Martial Arts Articles Online website on weight training for martial arts and self defense.  It’s a discussion about why training with weights can help the martial artist.  I personally agree with the articles as I train with weights twice per week and it has help strengthen my own martial arts techniques.

Mississauga Motivational Speaker and Martial Artist

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Mississauga is Canada’s sixth largest city with lots of industry. Mississauga companies now have the luxury of having motivational speaker and karate world champion Clint Cora based in town. This means that companies who required motivational speakers for their meetings will not have to pay to fly in an outside motivational speaker and put them up at hotels. Clint Cora is right in the neighbourhood so all travel expenses usually associated with bringing in a motivational speaker are eliminated. A local speaker like Clint can certainly make things easier on meeting budgets for not only Mississauga area companies, but all companies located in the greater Toronto area.
