Do You Have THIS Limitation!?

 



Joe, one of our Private PeaceWalker Member's forwarded me this great tie in story I wanted to share with you.


Check it out!

Limitations & Opportunities

A young man once wandered into a Judo school, because he wanted to learn how to throw people... you know... for self defense.

However, he only had one arm.

His Judo coach wouldn't let him jump into the normal classes... instead, he was forced to stay off on the side and practice a beginner throw.

Every day, the other students were allowed to master super-sweet moves and sweeps, while our One-Armed judoka did the same. boring. throw... over and over.

One day, the young man finally complained.

"I want to do advanced class with all of the other students. Don't limit me because of my disability!"!

The sensei stopped the class, and replied, "Well, NOW you're going to fight everyone in the gym. Let's see who throws who!"

What a jerk... AM I RIGHT!?

So he reluctantly stepped onto the mat with his first match, a pit of nervousness in his stomach, and began to fight.

Within seconds...

POW!

The sound of his opponent's back smacking onto the mat echoed throughout the room.

He was shocked.

However, each time the young judoka faced a new opponent, he promptly slammed with the same. stinking. basic. throw.

After 5 straight effortless victories, the young man's mind was ablaze... shocked by his own dominant ability, he looked at his sensei as if to ask, "how is this even possible"?

His sensei calmly explained, "They only know one counter to that throw... The one by grabbing the arm that you don't have". =)

LIMITATION:

It can be a gift, if you allow it to be.



Mindset...

We spend a lot of time on having the right Mindset. 

One of the principles of Mindset taught in the PeaceWalker Basic Training Course has to do with your Attitude.

Can You See Conflict As An Opportunity?!

In the case of what this story is teaching is using a Limitation as a Gift! 

If you are looking to learn how to protect yourself (and others) more effectively...

Build some confidence...

Live from a place of power, rather than fear... 

Then you should know this...

That building these skills are more than just learning how to kick, punch and shoot. 

If that was the case than any clown could learn that from watching a youtube video and/or buying a gun. 

You and I both know that those things alone aren't going to get you where you need to go. 

You'll need more. 

You'll need to know how to build a Protector's Lifestyle.

That will take some training.

Some mentorship. 

And a community of like minded folks...

Things you'll find in the Private PeaceWalker Membership.

Keep going,

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 simply do

The Shot Heard Around the World

Even though many could see where all of this division and hatred in our country was leading to, when we witness the actual violence, realty once again floods in and has a way of shattering the comfort of our complacency, if only until the next headline. Some may find all of this shocking, others may see it simply validating their own fears. Regardless, of your political views, we have to take into account what this level of violence can do not only to the former President and his family, but what does to the state of our entire Nation. Yesterday as news broke of former President Donald Trump being shot, I can’t say that I was entirely surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. Regardless of your political stance, this act of violence is a dark reminder of the dangerous consequences of a society steeped in hate and division. Our collective heartbreak should not be about politics, but about the division and hatred that fuels this erosion of our humanity. We live in a time where traditional

Cutting Through the Static

  Me and the crew at Venue 3 Two after a PeaceWalker Conflict Communication Workshop Remember in the old days when you used to listen to the radio on a road trip? No, not digital or streaming. I’m talking about old school FM radio. When you’re putting some miles on and crossing state lines. The radio stations you listen to don’t broadcast far enough for your entire trip, so you have to channel surf to find new channels as you move on down the road. You continue to push the search button until you hear a song in the genre that you want so you can lock in a desirable station for a spell. Sometimes you’re listening to a song you really like but the station is fading… The static starts feint, almost imperceptible, than grows in intensity to the degree that you can no longer ignore it. If you really like the song, you try to hang on as long as you can, listening to the tune through the white noise and times it cuts out completely, hoping to hear as much of the song as you can before the sta
