Episode 104: Creative Training During COVID, with Emmanuel Manolakakis

This week, in the midst of the global COVID-19 shutdown, we talk with Senior Systema Instructor, Founder of FightClub Toronto, and all-round great bloke Emmanuel Manolakakis. An uplifting conversation that vacillates between honest, tough-love advice and finding diamonds of positivity in the undeniable rough.

Along the way, we discuss:

differing emotional responses to the reality of the pandemic

why the emphasis of your training must (and should) change right now

the benefits of enforced creativity and motivation

concrete advice for students and Instructors during the weeks and months ahead

online and physical resources for solo training

Mentioned in this episode:

Weekly workshops with Vladimir Vasiliev at Systema HQ 

Daily classes and specialized mental training with Emmanuel at Fightclub

Stay safe, strong and healthy, my friends.
