Don't Quit!




Here's a good story that I ran across from one of the marketing guys I know his name is Michael...

His sons were kicking the ball playing some crazy game they dreamed up in their creative little minds. (In my mind it's something like 'Calvinball!' =)

Michael was sitting watching them.


His older son, Joe yells "I Quite" and he sits down.

His arms are crossed and he said "I'm not playing because Alan cheated". (Alan is the younger one)

And Moichael says to Joe "coooommoon".

"It's just a game".

"Let's just play".

"I'll be on your team".

And Joe says...

No, I quit!

And Michael started to chant . ..

D O N ' T Q U I T . . .

D O N ' T Q U I T . . .

D O N ' T Q U I T . . .

and then a little faster.

DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT . . .

Michael had both his hands balled up into fists.

His arms outreached and he was staring Joe directly in the eye..

DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT. . .

Joe's arms were still crossed but I saw them start to loosen.

DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT. . .

And then Michael could see him struggling to keep him self from smiling.

So, Michael started to chanted even louder.

DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT . . .

Michael was now jumping up and down with each chant.

DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT . . .

I then he held his hands out waiting for Joe to get up and run on to the field like a football team on home coming game.

DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT . . .

The pressure was too much and Joe got up and placed himself back into the game!

Joe just needed someone on his team.

Lot's of People Feel Like That!

You don't have to be a kid to want someone rooting for you. Someone who has your back. Someone who's on your team. 

I see it all of the time at my local Krav Academy and with the PeaceWalker Membership...

Lot's of middle aged folks who want help...

They want to feel safe and feel that they have power over their lives. 

Some want to get (back) in shape. Maybe shed a few pounds and firm up a bit. Have more energy...

Now's about the time that some folks are starting to lose momentum with their New Years Resolutions at the gym or Martial Arts Academy...

BUT DON'T GIVE UP!!!

DON'T QUIT!

DON'T QUIT!

DON'T QUIT!

KEEP GOING!!!


I'll Take It a Step Further...

I'm not just going just give you encouragement...

Oh no!

I'm going to give some more support if you want. 

Something to help you to Keep Going!

I've been talking about it off and on for several weeks now, but it's getting close... Real Close! =)

It's called - Over 40 -10x.

It's specifically designed for folks like you and I... 

Folks who are 40(ish) or older (I'm 51), who are either already training in or thinking about starting to learn self defense, martial arts (be it Krav Maga, BJJ, Ninjutsu, MMA, or anything else combative...).

Don't Wreck Yourself!! 

A lot of people in their 30's, 40's and 50's start working out only to constantly hurt themselves and then just quit training all together.

How many times can you keep getting hurt until it's just not worth it any more?! 

That's why I'll be sharing my lifetime of knowledge gained from training, coaching and real time application. 

When it comes to martial arts training and working out... I've been doing it my whole life.  I've taught cops to special ops. Soccer moms to high level executives. Teachers to doctors... and everyone in between!

When it comes to training... I hate seeing people struggle, get hurt or quit!

So, I decided to do something to help you! 

I'm going to be doing a FREE zoom workshop, that you can watch from the comfort of your own phone. It will show you how to:

- Train smarter. 
- Save Time w/Shorter, Yet More Effective Workouts. 
- Avoid getting hurt and if you do...
- How to recover faster. 

Probably the most important thing of all is...

How to gain an unfair advantage in the gym and in the street. 

In this livestream you'll discover how to train in a simple, smart way that will help you get the most out of your training, in the least amount of time. 

I'll share hard learned lessons on how to avoid getting injured. 

How to get more benefit and performance out of your training in any Martial Art or Self Defense System. 

I just finished editing the videos (for the full course)... so, the sites not up yet for your to reserve your spot, but if you... 


If this sounds at all interesting to you, shoot me an email and I'll get you access to this free training.

If you want in on this, let me know.  


Keep going,
~Craig

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?!

Image
  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...
