A long time ago, when I was young, besides my efficiency and productivity endeavors[!], I had the opportunity to involved with and study various martial arts, both from a physical as well as from a philosophical and a historical point of view. Even though, never I have the time (or the ambition, for that matter) to reach to a belt, or go ahead to a higher level, I get some valuable lessons, that I use them later in my life, on various occasions.

Two of the common denominators in all the martial arts I have studied, was the principles of a) the uninterrupted movement and b) the detachment from opponent’s movement. This was more true, in Kendo, especially because in this discipline you are training in the use of weapons (swords-Katana in particular, and Bokken in practice sessions).

These principles, along with the psychology of Flow can be used to unlock the productivity potential in every person.
