Hello, I'll be teaching my Warrior's Way mental fitness clinics in the Southwest in March. Please see specifics below and contact the gym or me if you have questions. See you soon. Arno ----------------------------------- ARNO ILGNER DESIDERATA INSTITUTE 315 OAKWOOD COVE LA VERGNE, TN 37086 USA 615-406-3404 warriorsway@mindspring.com www.warriorsway.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Clinic Title: Warrior’s Way Espresso Clinic - Investment: $75 for non-members; $60 for gym members Max number: 6 per clinic How to register: Contact the gym to sign up ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March Schedule - Thursday [03/08; 7pm] - Slide show presentation - Prescott College YMCA, Prescott,AZ Vertical Relief Climbing Center, Flagstaff, AZ, 928-556-9909 – Saturday, March 10 Phoenix Rock Gym, Tempe, AZ, 480-921-8322 – Monday, March 12 Phoenix Rock Gym, Tempe, AZ, 480-921-8322 – Tuesday, March 13 Stone Age Climbing Gym, Albuquerque, NM, 505-341-2016 – Wednesday, March 14 Rocks & Ropes, Tucson, AZ, 520-882-5924 – Friday, March 16 Red Rock Climbing Center, Las Vegas, NV, 702-254-5604 – Monday, March 26 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Clinic description: The Warrior's Way® teaches how to focus attention impeccably during the climbing process, especially when you are most apt to seek escape. By doing this you enter into and act out climbing challenges with all of your available power. - Areas covered [you'll learn to]: - • Improve self-observation skills • Stay centered • Assess risks • Practice falling in small increments • Set a powerful intention and commit to that intention • Trust in the process • Deal with climbing stress/chaos • Improve problem-solving skills. • Reduce fear, and more - Content of the class - You’ll be doing climbing exercises on lead or toprope, depending on the amount of leading experience you have. The exercises will begin on moderately difficult routes, then falling practice, more moderate routes, and finally a challenging climb. - What to expect: - We’ll begin by learning how to break a climb into decision points. Second, we’ll learn to notice the type of thoughts we typically have. Third, we’ll practice falling. Fourth, we’ll work on improving fluidity and staying centered. Finally, we learn how to prepare and commit at these decision point. - Requirement for class: - It is helpful if you’ve read the book, The Rock Warrior’s Way, but it isn’t absolutely necessary. The gym has a pdf handout that they will print out for you so you can become familiar with the Warrior’s Way concepts. If you do not get this handout you can email me to receive it. The course seems to be best for those who have hit some sort of plateau, experience some frustration, fear, loss of motivation, or other mental fitness issues. You do need to know the fundamentals of knots, belaying, and basic climbing skills. - Equipment Needed: - Rope clinics: Harness, shoes, belay device, and a helmet (if you have one). The gym usually provides lead ropes and sometimes helmets.
