“Here and now...breathe and relax...in battle and in life”
~ Dan Millman

Without breath there is no life. If you do not breathe well it is difficult to function well. Your capacity to breath effectively will enhance every aspect of your being. Everything from sports training, martial arts and yoga to personal development, meditation, spiritual pursuits, emotional control, tactical shooting and defense revolves around proper breathing.  It will change your game no matter what you are pursuing.  

There are many resources out there regarding proper breathing some are good, others not so much. In today's day and age we have information overload. We are assaulted with so much contradictory information about what to do, it can get very confusing. So how do we navigate through the murky waters of all of this info?

I'm glad you asked...

Let's talk about Jon Haas’s new e-book and video titled Evolve Your Breathing: Essential Techniques For Optimal Performance. Evolve Your Breathing is a fantastic resource for learning a simple systematic approach to breathing that will not only increase your performance, it can change your life.

I am no stranger to breathing techniques. Over the years I have trained the gamut;  ranging from Chinese Chi Kung exercises, to the sports arena, combat sports, weight training, running, swimming, meditation, martial arts, shooting, tactical maneuvering, working through high stress situations and injuries (whether physical or emotional). Now, I’m not saying that I’ve seen everything, but this boy’s been around the block a few times (and then some).  That said, I highly recommend Jon’s new book and video.

Jon’s book covers a variety of exercises including Compressed breathing – Energizing Breath – Endurance and Restoring Breathing – Breathing to Relax and a very useful Rapid Fire Breathing technique that as Jon says, "is to be used when things get difficult and painful.” He goes into detail of what to do, how to do it and why. And if that wasn’t enough, there is a video that goes over all of the training methods, so you can see how it is done.

Both the book and video are easy to follow and understand, no mystical mumbo jumbo here, just straight forward useful information minus the fluff. Jon’s material gets down to business and is immediately accessible to the reader. The techniques are understandable and can be immediately utilized.

Here are the two things I like most about Jon Haas's Evolve Your Breathing training material:

1)      It’s short, concise and gets to the point!
2)      The techniques WORK!

 But don’t just take my word for it, order your own copy and find out for yourself. You won't be sorry!

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

What'd You Say?!

  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
