This 'Cure' Is Worse Than the Disease!

 



Remedy... Cure... Disease...


Many "Cures" are worse than the disease. 

Take prescription drugs for example. 

You ever watch those TV commercials where they show you how great everything is after taking a super drug, only to hear hat creepy voice pop up at the end (at 10x normal speed, so they can fit everything in), rattling off a list of side effects that include everything from depression and suicidal thoughts to coma or death!?

In our world... That of self defense, personal protection, conflict management and defensive tactics it's very much the same.

If you're not careful, the 'Cure' can end up turning you into part of the problem. 

It's a subtle shift resulting from being unclear. 

You come in to learn how to become a better protector and end up with an...

OUT THUG the THUG MENTALITY!

It's an easy trap to fall into!

Many unwittingly fall into this trap of thinking they have to be meaner, tougher, more ruthless than the 'bad guys'!

BUT HERE's the RUB!

You don't want to out bad guy the bad guys... It's about being a more skillful 'Good Guy.'

Yes, as my friend Jack Hoban says, 

"In order to be more ethical, you have to be more skilled!"

WHY?~

Because, at some point you'll be challenged to do the right thing. And it's easier to have more courage and confidence if you have greater skills. 

Skills that you can protect yourself from harm. 

Knowing that you can kick some a** if you have to is a great confidence builder if you have to jump in or speak up to do the right thing rather than the easy thing. 


You See...

To defend yourself, it's not about learning how to be a better thug. It's about learning how to be a better PROTECTOR! 

AND that ain't just semantics! They're different ideals and different way of training, but a different perspective altogether. 

If you don't have the right approach, the right mentoring, the right community, it becomes a slippery slope FAST!

And that slope will lead you to become the problem you were trying to defend yourself from. 

If you're not careful, YOU become part of the problem!

Unfortunately, I see it happening all the time. Especially NOW!

People thinking that they are learning how to be the protector, but they just end up trying to 'Out Thug' the thugs. 

The reality is they start becoming thugs themselves and unknowingly just add to the problem by causing more conflict themselves.

That my friend, is why I teach and created this entire PeaceWalker Community. That is why I put together the Private PeaceWalker Membership site. To provide the training and support for those who don't want to unknowingly become a thug. It's for people like you, who want to Live a Protector's Lifestyle. Become PeaceWalkers.

Get started right now with my free home study course! It's called Six Day Defense. You can get it below...



Alright go and drink some Kombucha, do a few sit ups and take a walk! =)

Talk to you later!


Keep going,

An Uncomfortable Situation

  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
