Yes, But... Does Your Training Do THIS?!

 



You've heard my rants about the limitations of techniques and that self defense training should be more than just punching, kicking, choking and shooting right?!

Well, here's a question for you...

Does Your Training Do THIS?!

When it comes to your self defense training, ask yourself if you can you apply the principles you're learning to these areas of your Life:

Your Body
Your Mindset
Your Relationships
Your Income

At first glance you may think that at least two of these things are not really related to self defense training at all... 

But look closer and you'll find that they are ALL inter-related. 

How you live your Life IS how you defend yourself! 

If your training is turning into everyone you see into the 'enemy' or someone you have to beat, you may want to reconsider what your training is focusing on. 

Being tough on the mats, yet a delta bravo isn't going to win you any friends or allies. What's it's going to do is create more conflict and violence in your life. 

Training to be bulletproof at the expense of destroying your body isn't going to help you accomplish what you set out to do either. 

Having the resources to pay your bills, put food in your (and your kids) belly and keep a roof over your head as also essential self defense skills. 

Connecting the Dots...

There are countless books on swordsmanship, but only one Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi. 

This book is so widely known not because it's about swords, rather it is still popular because it is about strategies that can be applied to life, business, relationships and defense (it can actually be applied to a bunch more, but you get the drift).

How you apply these PeaceWalker principles to your Body, Mind, Relationships and how you earn a living has everything to do with your ability to protect yourself, your loved ones and everyone else around you. 

So...

Examine the way you train more deeply and see if the principles you are training are not only teaching you the obvious, but see if they point to something even more profound. 

If they do, than you are on the right track. If they don't, then consider another teacher and/or approach. 


Yes...

The Operating System you use to handle conflict in your relationships, your career, your Life does make all of the difference.


Is yours working?!

Could things be better?!

What problems do you face?!

How's your health and fitness? Your mindset? Your relationships? Your job?

Do the same problems seem to keep coming up over and over again?

Maybe you'd like less stress, more certainty in your Life?

Possibly you are still searching for a simple yet effective way to protect yourself and those you love? 

But you want to learn more than just 'survival' skills. You want to learn how to thrive!?

Do you yearn for a way to lead your life's purpose with greater conviction? To live with more clarity, confidence, agency and power? 

If you do, then you may consider joining us in the next Evolution Training Retreat. It's your speed pass to Personal Protection, Leadership & Development.

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
