This week, in the midst of the global COVID-19 shutdown, we talk with Senior Systema Instructor, Founder of FightClub Toronto, and all-round great bloke Emmanuel Manolakakis.  An uplifting conversation that vacillates between honest, tough-love advice and finding diamonds of positivity in the undeniable rough.

Along the way, we discuss:

• 
  
• differing emotional responses to the reality of the pandemic
  
• why the emphasis of your training must (and should) change right now
  
• the benefits of enforced creativity and motivation
  
• concrete advice for students and Instructors during the weeks and months ahead
  
• online and physical resources for solo training
  

Mentioned in this episode:

Stay safe, strong and healthy, my friends.
