Better Grades and Easier Gradings for
Martial Artists
and Students of the Martial
Arts.
You
may also learn how to become more
powerful and effective.
James Arthur Baldwin
Not only does this anxiety increase your chances of failing, or getting a lower pass mark, but can lead you to feelings of low self esteem and a lack of confidence.
Yet many take up the arts to gain self control and develop confidence and high esteem so that the quality of life improves. Grading is a test, and a way for you, and your instructor to calibrate your progress and development.
So why do many students have such an awful time and screw themselves up?
Simple, your own mind is undisciplined, and not in your control. More accurately it is your unconscious control mind, also called you subconscious, that part of your brain that dates back to a lizard, which controls your emotions, habits, opinions and beliefs.
It is also the part of your brain that allows you to become sub-consciously competent, and move without thought, with blinding speed and power. This is often the desired result as thinking is to slow in combat. Just like any other skill you have to train and practice to develop this skill.
Ultimately the arts are about learning about you, developing skill, power, confidence. They are also about an ability to control your energy, your emotional state and your intent.
All the arts if studied under the rarest of people: a master who has not only has trained their bodies to an exceptional level of skill, but have also done the same with the mental and emotional sides of their nature.
So, what is my background? How do I know this? Why am I able to point you in the right direction and help you to overcome the worry, fear and anxiety that, till now, you have allowed to affect you in a negative way?
My name is Paul Hastings and I started in the arts many years ago. Mainly Judo and Hapkido. Hapkido has been my mistress for many years now. In my time I have taken many gradings, both as a student and as an instructor grading students.
I’ve had my share of grading nerves until I was guided by some of the Masters I have been privileged to learn from. Although I have given up teaching publicly I continue practice.
Part of what they directed me to do was to develop the skills of a traditional martial artist and warrior. So not only was I told to acquire the physical skills, but also to learn about, anatomy, physiology, acupuncture and energy psychology. I also learnt to use firearms, and other weapons and how to use the most powerful weapon we have - Our own minds.
As we no longer use horses for transport I learnt evasive and defensive driving, and became an advanced driver. I learned to fly an aeroplane and for a while owned two. I also learnt how to build them, and yes they “both still flying”.
More importantly for you. I also studied and mastered Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming and Emotional Freedom Therapy, and have been in private practice as a therapist since 1991.
During all this time I have used the skills I possess on many occasions. I have often been frightened, scared and had my life on the line.
I have crashed microlights, cars, - and relationships. On occasions I have been attacked for real and had to deal with it, and, yes, I have also failed gradients and had to develop the emotional skills to deal with it, and come back stronger to succeed.
Veni, vidi, vici.
So you could say “ I’ve been there, done it and got the tee shirt”
Below are photographs of some of my life.



It all started a long time ago.
Can still break a brick.
Yoga is still a passion for me.



Early air break.
Early tile break.
Learning the trade.



I don't just dish it out.
Bouncing me around at a demo.
My brother David.



Shooting was a passion.
Kicking.
A joint lock.



Later in life.
Finger bar.
Simple throw.



A wonderful sight, a microlight ready to touch the face of god.

"I have
control".

breathing is fun.
If you get it wrong it can be disastrous.
So you do learn to control fear and develop
the necessary skills.
You decide.
Walking on freshly broken razor sharp glass, is a great way to discover?
A hypnotist and Hapkido friend of mine asked me if it was possible to do a head stand on broken glass. I did not know. My First attempt. I just did it. Sometimes life is like that. You just have to go for it and find out what happens.
This will not only improve your skill and confidence, but allow you to enjoy your training more, and become a more rounded and efficient martial artist and human being. The full set includes four recordings, Remove your Irrational Fears. Reduce Your Stress, Understanding Parents, Love Awareness and Self Understanding.
Duncan McColl.
Duncan was a friend, hypnosis master, healer, philosopher and mentor to me for almost twenty years. A successful business man and the creator of “Pilgrim Tapes and CD’s”
The skills he learnt in combat, as a spitfire pilot in world war two, he carried over into his life, later working for large American companies and travelling the world, this gave him the opportunities to himself, learn from a variety of skilled “mind masters”, and to explore realities that are still alien to most people.

Remove your Irrational Fears.
Two
Recordings.
Track One
- Self
Hypnosis Recording - 42 minutes.
Track Two - Self Hypnosis
Recording - 37 minutes.
Is
obvious as worry and anxiety and lets be honest,
the fear you have is irrational and holding you
back from achieving the results you want.
Does it mean that you will never experience fear
again?
NO. Fear is a good thing. It can keep you alive.
It is mother nature, god or evolution's way of
telling you to switch on, and pay attention, and
do what needs to be done. You then turn it off,
or use it, and move.
Anyone who tell you otherwise is just blowing
smoke up your? In order to develop massive self
confidence and competence in your martial art or
combat system you need to remove irrational fears
and learn to use fear with the massive power it
gives you.
Reduce
Your Stress.
Two
Recordings.
Track one self
hypnosis - 40 minutes.
Track two self hypnosis - 22 minutes.
Many people use
stress as an excuse not only in life but also
during training. All stress is self induced, you
create it, in fact it is impossible for any thing
to stress you if you change your stress response.
With practice that can be under your control.
A part of your brain is unable to tell the
difference between what is real and what you
imagine. That's why you can worry over something
in an imaginary future that may never exist, and
feel the emotions when it hasn't and may never
happen. Many of the causes for our messing
ourselves up, are imagined. They never actually
happen, we made it all up.
This self hypnosis mp3 will begin to change your
stress responses, so that you come off auto-pilot
responses and are able to re-engage the reality
checker in your brain.
Now
you can stop responding to imaginary
fear.
Understanding
Parents.
Two
Recordings.
Track one - self
hypnosis 39 minutes.
Track two - self hypnosis 29 minutes.
You
may be wondering why such a recording is on this
page. It is designed to
remove parental, social, religious and media
neurosis and conditioning. With controlled use
you will uncover many of the lies and myths that
you have accepted without awareness.
Much of your beliefs about life and yourself,
were programmed in to you at an earlier age. They
came from well meaning people who, in all honesty
did not have the knowledge to guide you
correctly. Some of them may have even come from
you. Have you ever noticed people say: “I always
been that way” “I am like my mum or dad” ‘I got
that from my parents” “I can never do that” "I
was taught to do it this way"?
As you know from training at one level a
technique is correct, at another you are taught
to do it differently, as your skill improves, and
you can do the technique faster and with more
power. The same thing happens in our minds, and
life.
On occasions this recording has enlightened
martial artists, as well as uncovering some
realties that could save your life and years of
wasted training.
A martial art may be useless when you need to
defend yourself. Some fighting arts, are useless
out of the ring, or off the mat, and in the real
world against an experienced street fighter. Or
even a keen amateur, I know many black belts who
have been taken out by a "nobody"
A real cool guy once told me “I don't need to be
better, quicker or faster than you to take your
head off, I just need to know how to jam your
systems”
Love
Awareness.
Why love awareness and self
understanding.
This amazing
recording will improve the quality of your
relationships and bring greater love and joy into
your life and the lives of those around you.
One hour five minutes.
A long time ago,
apparently a guy told people to “Love thy
neighbour, as yourself”. Pretty good advice, and
most people do love others, just as well as they
love themselves, and that is the problem.
Most people do not like themselves, have little
self respect, control and personal power, they
beat them selves up, swear at themselves when
they mess up, tell themselves they are thick,
dumb or unable to take action.
They
train themselves to be a victim, martial artists
would argue against this until I point out that
they are a victim to themselves, due to an
undisciplined and untrained
mind.
You get the idea, without deep self love and
respect, you cannot love or care or have true
consideration for anyone else. An old Hapkido
master once said to me “ if you argue with your
wife and children, your Hapkido is no good”
The second part of the title will give you
understanding as to what this recording is about.
You may discover that with true self love, you
can train harder, because when you know your body
needs rest, you give it.
You may have fewer injuries, have you noticed
most injury is self inflicted. Ever wondered why
that is?
