Free vs. Formula


 


He came in and sat down to watch one of our Krav classes at the local academy. 


We exchanged niceties and names. I remember him not wanting to come down to watch a class or start in our intro session. Not because he had some experience, but because he had been watching youtube videos for a long time and was very familiar with training. 

"Hum... Interesting," I said.

"Well, it's different watching on youtube than it is training at an academy." I say as gently and respectfully as I can muster.

I barely got those words out of my mouth and he began asking me a plethora of questions about techniques. 

"Why do you do the gun disarm that way? I saw so in so do it differently. Why do you recommend the way you do it?" 

He went on and on...

Honestly, I don't remember if he joined or not...

Later that week I received an email from someone asking about the PeaceWalker Private Membership....

They asked, "Why would I pay you $39/mo, when I can watch youtube for free."

I don't remember if I even responded...

I probably didn't even bother.

Free v. Formula

In today's day-in-age information is cheap. We literally have too much of it! It's all at our fingertips 24/7, 365...

And IT'S ALL FREE!! 

But here's the inside scoop, if you don't already know...

It's NOT about the information!

If it was only about the information... The technique, everybody would be fit, thin, rich and happy. 

But... They Aren't! 

And that ladies and germs is because it isn't about the FREE INFORMATION!

You need the formula...the recipe to make all that info work! 

Otherwise every desk jockey who watches youtube would be a world expert at everything known to mankind!

And you and I both know that ain't the case! 


The Glue

First, you have to know what is even good! 

This ain't like picking out colors. "I like that one!"

There are many aspects to being successful in anything (most certainly protecting yourself), that is very counter intuitive. 

So, lets say that out of the literally millions of youtube videos on whatever you want to learn you were able to pick out the best ones... (I'm sure very easy to do when you don't have any practical experience, except from watching other youtube videos... oh and reading the comments and likes)

It's the formula, of how to train, practice and implement all of those techniques. All of the components that make up the techniques. 

Even if you have all of the right ingredients you still have to put it all together into a workable formula to get it right.

Think of making a cake. 

You not only need good ingredients, but also the recipe of how to put all of those ingredients together and bake it in a way so that it turns out right! 

That's why it's so important getting involved with coaches, community, academies, courses, workshops, memberships and others who have experience to guide you. No matter what you are looking to learn!

It's Never Free

In reality nothings free! Least of all your own life! Learning how to live a warriors life is not given so easily. 

That sh*t doesn't come cheap son... and the monetary investment is the least expensive part of the deal!

Not to mention, we don't value free anyway! You gotta have skin in the game son!

So, the bottom line is beware of free. Techniques are important, but they're not where it's at. 

Get the formula. Seek a guide... Some one (or a group of someone's) who have been there before and can help you get where you want to go. 

Looking?!

If you are looking for a direct route to being able to protect yourself and live a protector's lifestyle, I have two opportunities for you. My Free Home Study Course Six Day Defense is a great way to begin your journey into a much bigger life.

Are people from Crete Creteans??

Here I am in Crete. It is a pretty cool island. It is a bit more difficult getting around, but far from impossible. Most people speak at least a little english and I have gotten very good at asking (in Greek) if they speak english. I walked around about 15 miles today. Into town, around town, to all (and I do mean all) of their museums, archelogical sights, some cafe's and town squares. I really didn't even get lost today. Wow, I must be making some progress. I met a couple English people (yes, people from England silly) we hung out until about 1am or so and talked about politics, troubled youth, the difference between the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service (don't ask, if I told you I'd have to kill you:), body guards, ccw laws etc. It was kinda of funny, most of the museums that I went to today were under construction and had only one exhibit open. Geeze, you'd think that they would have at least discounted their entry price, but noooooooo! Oh well. I at least had a real

What's Your Rosebud?

  One of my favorite classic movies is: "Citizen Kane" It starred Orson Welles. [NOTE: spoiler ahead - if you haven't seen it] And, was about the life and legacy of a powerful newspaper publisher, based partly on the late William Randolph Hearst. The movie starts with Charles Foster Kane dying, with his last word being "Rosebud" — and the entire movie is this sort of question of what "Rosebud" is. Turns out it was simply the trade name of a cheap little sled on which Kane was playing on the day he was taken away from his home and his mother as a child. Welles revealed in an interview: "In his subconscious it represented the simplicity, the comfort, above all the lack of responsibility in his home, and also it stood for his mother's love which Kane never lost." The point? We All Have Our Rosebud That thing, moment, or whatever it is that anchors, drives, guides, or inspires you.  For example, the late Johnny Carson and the book of magic tr

You'll Never Guess What This Parrot Said!

  The Parrot Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly Mother. . The first said,  "I built a big house for our Mother." . The second said, " I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." . The third smiled and said,  "I've got you, both beat. You know how Mom enjoys the Bible, and you know she can't see very well. I sent her a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took 20 monks in a Monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $5,000 a year for 10 years, but it was worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it." . Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks: "Dearest First Son,"  she wrote the first son,  "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but have to clean the whole house." . " Dearest Second Son,"  she wrote to another,  "I am t
