The Missing Ingredient

 



There are so many overlooked aspects when it comes to really protecting yourself!


Most people concentrate on the "fun stuff." You know the physical stuff, the stuff that goes BOOM, the strikes, chokes, rough and tumble things. 

Not only do people tend to train the things they like (shooters like to shoot, martial artists like to do their flavor of martial arts). Most don't work too hard at even being well rounded when it comes to defensive tactics.

For instance: Most altercations are avoidable and almost all have a verbal communication element to it, yet these things are rarely ever covered beyond a quick mention.  

Not as many people look past their 'hobby' to things like:

~Verbal Communication Skills
~Leadership 
~Medical First Responder Training
~Legal aspects
~Insurance
~Mental Health and Emotional Aspects (before, during & after)
~Spiritual Aspects
~Mindset
~Awareness
~Avoidance
~Health and Diet
~Interpersonal Relation Skills 

We tend to stick with what we like and neglect the rest. I get it. I can be somewhat guilty of this as well. 

It takes some work to be well rounded enough to deal with the full spectrum of human conflict that we're likely to run up against in today's world. 

Be honest, how well rounded is your training!?

Inside / Out

When it comes to training to protect yourself (and others)  I don't believe there can be any effective Self Defense Training without Personal Development Training!

Yes of course when we learn new things we are technically developing personally as well, but that's not exactly what I'm talking about. 

You can be a very skilled thug!

The bottom line is this...

Hurt People, Hurt People

Say that again.

Hurt People, Hurt People in small and not so small ways. 

So, if you really want to learn how to protect yourself and those around you, you'll have to work on some serious Personal Development, because we are all hurt to a lessor or greater degree. And that affects how we deal with people, stress and situations. 

The more you train to be PeaceWalkers the more you'll realize that self defense is mostly an "Inside Job" so to speak.

For some, (probably like you and I) it begins with learning how to defend yourself, but that's really only the beginning! 

Look into some of the other training I mentioned here and consider a personal development course that focuses on self defense, conflict resolution, leadership and personal development. 

I recommend that you look into my FREE HOME STUDY COURSE Click the link below to get it! 


Let me know if you have any questions on it!


Keep going,

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
