Training with a goal
I just want to achieve that WuDae black shirt! I want to be able to move smoothly, fluidly and controlled without constantly thinking about it. Running is already totally in my system; with Wing Chun, it may be even more so.
I now train Wing Chun five to six days a week. I like to alternate the regular Wing Chun training with the Masterclass and Kettlebell training at WuDae. I also like to do the Impact training if it fits into my schedule. I notice that the different workouts make me feel muscles that I didn't feel before. I start to be more stable and can often concentrate better. To create peace of mind, physical exercise is very important.
What I like most about Wing Chun is that you are really working with yourself. You move from your own core and strength, you adapt to achieve your goal and become completely absorbed in your body in terms of energy.
I think there are many parallels between Wing Chun and entrepreneurship; you want to move forward, keep a goal in mind and adjust as you go. There will always be situations that you hadn't anticipated or thought of, but it's important not to let yourself get off track. As far as I am concerned, this is a beautiful way of life.
Floortje Dessing, but different
I used to want to be like Floortje Dessing. She has such a pure interest in people. I thought it would be great to travel like that too, to meet people along the way and make new contacts. We always think we know everything, but there is still so much to discover.
This is also something I want to give young people with my company, Incredible Future. I want to show them what is left to discover in the world. Physically and mentally go on a journey and find out what your calling is in life. In doing so, the human brain is very fascinating, for example when you realise how your thoughts affect your feelings and behaviour. By travelling, you get to know yourself, the people around you and the world better.
