A highly focused mind is key not only for achieving success in the martial arts, but for life in general. With the vehicle of martial arts, Ed Cafferty explains how powerful a mind can be when it is calm and focused on the present moment. He also makes us aware of the critical role the mind plays in the effectiveness of body movement and reaction time. Learning to harness this power expands well beyond the martial arts and can improve our relationships, creativity, productivity, and overall well-being. Where the mind is, so is the power.
Ed Cafferty has taught a variety of courses at Champlain College for over twenty years. Among his favorites are “Human Rights,” and “Ethics and the Environment.” Ed has studied and taught various martial arts for thirty-three years, and has practiced mindfulness meditation for most of his adult life. He believes that mindfulness meditation is the cornerstone of the foundation for training to become a “Mind Warrior”.
