Every time my kids finish their martial arts class with their exceptional teacher, Dante, they come away not just with improved skills but with a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Dante's classes are a blend of mindfulness, mentorship, and of course, martial arts. His unique approach touches the souls of his students, leaving them enriched and empowered long after the class ends. I reached out to Dante because I really wanted to understand his approach in teaching martial arts and I thought it would also be great to share this with all you listeners! So today you will have the conversation I had with him!In this conversation, we talked about power and discipline which are both very misunderstood in our society.We attach a positive or negative meaning to power when actually power is just is. Power can definitely be corrupted if not utilized properly, but when we master our power we become the most powerful beings. Martial arts emphasizes discipline and how with discipline we can achieve our biggest hopes and dreams! Discipline also applies to our thoughts because when we gain control over our thoughts and become mindful then we can have a real impact on others and the world around us.Dante Howell has been building relationships and communities for twenty years.
