What Drives Me Forward

"u will never obtain the level I am at or (persons name removed) in both the Martial Arts or running a business...u will slowly fade away like all the others......"

I say that you need to be praised or put down. Both will set you on fire. I am on fire now with this above comment. Sometimes it's nice to hear encouragement and have it inspire you, but on the flip side, like myself, tell me I can't do something and I will say "watch me".

Sunday Training

Our First Seminar

@DMACanada: Today we held our first "Women's Self-Defence" seminar. Great turn out. 2 classes of 20 participants. We have a waiting list of about 20 more. Next week lessons 3 and 4.

A Good Day

Yesterday was a good day because we did some sparring that we hadn't done in a while. We did a couple of drills, then we had a couple of matches.

Last night on the way home from Sarnia I had a really enlightening conversation. This conversation was with one of my black belts. We talked about success and how to achieve it. It's not very often that you can sit around and talk success. There are not to many people into it. We talked about strategies, visions and how to make them real. We talked about setting unrealistic goals, or goals that would be unrealistic to some. Who to say what is unrealistic. I told him what some of my goals were and he did the same.

New Strategy

I held the plank push up for a solid two minutes. What I do now is watch Larry Tatum's "Tip of the Week" while I'm that position. The great thing is that they are all around the two minute mark. Today was some tips on sparring.

Spaghetti Legs

So I just had my first MMA class. My legs are literally like spaghetti. I am going to be sore in the morning for sure. It was a tough workout but it was good. It's definitely not for the weak. I need to get my cardio back up and i also need to build my strength up. I want to go again next week.

MMA fighting

Right now I'm off to my first MMA class. Hope it goes well and I hope I'm in shape and I hope I have fun. I haven't learned anything in a long time and I'm excited to learn something new. I don't care if it's standup or groundwork at least it's still something new and I'm learning. I will say this to the day I die if I'm not learning I'm not growing and if I'm not growing I'm dying.

Great Weekend Ahead

I am really excited about the things that are going to happen this weekend. Tonight I start my first MMA class. Tomorrow we have a gun disarming seminar. And then on Sunday we have our first trial run of the SelfDefense program. I have to start returning calls for the waiting list. It is my lunch now and I have to go.

Media Release

The link below is the newspaper article for our free self-defense courses. It's for good cause and I'd like to thank couple of people who called into the newspaper to have this printed.

Twitter

I just wanted to make a comment about my Twitter account. I hit the 2500 mark. My next goal would obviously be to get to 3000.

Today

Wow it's another beautiful day out. I am on lunch now and I am going to review some of Mares self-defense techniques. I am also going to be going over the program for the streetwise women's self-defense course. This is going to happen next week and I am kind of excited about it. We have never really done this before so this is going to be a pilot program. If all goes well then we will probably start doing them monthly. We have had an overwhelming response in light of the recent tragedy in Sarnia. Tonight I have classes and Sarnia. I'll be teaching in Sarnia and I'm looking forward to meeting some new students that we just got.
Time for lunch.

Plank Push Up

Held the plank for 1:37

Video

Well I guess I'm very disappointed in blogger I thought that maybe there was a possibility that I could upload video blog. I guess my only other alternative is to him upload a video blog of me on YouTube and then upload the link. No problem that's what I'm Going to do.

A Good Day

Today is going to be a good day I have already decided that. I took my supplements this morning. I took the garbage out. I did a little review this morning on some karate techniques. I listen to Tony Robbins on the way to work today. I am at work now and I'm pumped I'm to make sure that during break or on lunch I am going to get some an work in. Who exercises at their job? I think I am the only one but I honestly feel that you got to do whatever it takes. So here it is I am off to a good start and have an amazing day.

Great Video
