This announcement is to ALL martial arts schools and teachers. If any of my students contacts and/or asks to train with. they DO HAVE my permission. If you would rather an introduction or such, please feel free to contact me. It is my belief that I can greatly help ALL of my students […]

You would retain your rank equivalent within our system (since you already know basics and such). You would only need to […]

Mostly, these are necessary for the transmission of expectations. Good positive interactions. We won’t even mention how much talking happens during socializing events! Here’s where […]

Now that I’m in my 41st year of martial arts training, there have been many burst illusions along the way. Among these have been ranks and titles. Starting out back in 1981, I had learned that the highest rank possible was 10th Dan. It meant that this person was the head of the system (i.e. […]
Recently during an NFL game, the announcers commented on how the new head coach was trying to do some team building during this strange time. Since there was no training camp nor preseason games, there had been very little time to help coaches and players join together in the plan for the team. The coach […]

Watching posts from Facebook and Instagram shows that there are a lot of organizations that promote the idea of a martial arts fellowship. The thought here seems to be that there are many independent instructors and schools who would benefit from being part of a group. Whether this is for curriculum acknowledgement or rank promotion […]
Martial arts training provides an opportunity to practice strategies to prevent three common demons that appear in many areas of life. Boredom = I’ve done this a million times, so why am I doing it again? Frustration = I can’t do this! Why is this so hard? Complacency = I know this […]

I saw this one a T-shirt the other day. It was done for a high school cross country team (I left the school name out of this). It struck as a very cool perspective. Cross country runners are out there training, improving their technique, and running faster because they want to. I’d wager that there […]
Understanding that not every person or body is the same and helping to work through that. The love and passion you and your students have. The geekiness we can all be. You allow your students to be their own person.
