Looking for Partner/Trainer in Missouri

Postby DaveApel » Tue May 06, 2008 5:44 pm

Hi,

I live in Moberly, MO, just north of Columbia, MO, right in the middle of the state and I am looking for any kind of school or partner to train with.

Thanks,
Dave

If you cannot find anyone in your area, the ARMA website has a wealth of information including many suggestions for solo-training. Remember, any properly applied competent training will build beneficial attributes and develop your overall proficency. I would encourage you not to allow your possible lack of training partners to disdain you from starting on your journey towards developing your skills.

Once you have developed the basics and can perform them fluidly, you might wish to consider finding like minded individuals and looking into forming an ARMA 'study group'. Self-motivating can be difficult at times, even when we are passionate about our art. Having a partner or a group certainly bolsters enthusiasm and allows you to expand your training possibilites through the opportunity for paired drills, free-play, etc.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Encouragement

Hi,

Thanks for the encouragement. I had considered that, but I will have to become more familiar with the web site first. Necessity is still the mother of invention.

Thanks,
Dave
