Malavé Do places great emphasis on the mental attitude when exercising. Physical performance depends on the mental attitude - they are two sides of the same coin.

A basic prerequisite for successfully achieving your goals is that you have the right attitude towards what you do. 

Learning karate is difficult, requires a lot of perseverance and takes a long time. Karate is not only physically and technically difficult to learn, but starts with how you think and how you relate to your training, your training partners and your instructor.

The result is as much about your mental capacity and you can train and develop it as much as your techniques. Technique and mentality go hand in hand. When you have the “right attitude” and mental balance, you can also more easily understand and learn the physical moments of movement.

To achieve success in karate, you need to develop your mental balance and strength in parallel with your physical training. You do this not only in the dojo, but in your entire life. Karate is character-building, meaning that it affects your entire personality - and you have it with you all the hours of the day no matter what you do. Mental strength and balance come before physics and technique. If you don't have your head with you, it doesn't matter how much you punch and kick.

To develop, you need the will to learn and the ability to fight to succeed.

The basics of developing your “right attitude” can be summarized in the five points below:

• Be interested

• Be ambitious

• Have a positive attitude

• Be present

• Get structured
