So many cool things to do and just not enough time! Good ideas typically aren't as hard to come by as the resources to IMPLEMENT! The Time... The Energy... The Finances... The Human Resource... Etc. Like you I have a lot on my plate and it's can be difficult to keep everything going right!? Well, like Krav Maga... Small Details = BIG GAINS! But only if you are effective and efficient! Which is another way of Controlling 'Tactical Space'! When it comes to defending yourself... Moving is Typically Better than Not Moving... However... Moving TACTICALLY is Best! Just like at work... There are people doing 'stuff'. They're always busy, but don't get anything done! (You know the people I'm talking about!) Then there are folks who know EXACTLY what to do so they don't look hurried all the time, yet they get it done! Those people are controlling their 'Tactical Spac...

You've heard me talk about controlling the engagement right?! It's easy to get the idea when I say 'Train your body like a soldier'... Basically, stay in shape. Do it appropriately for you, your age, limitations and season in life, but stay active so you're 'battle ready' so to speak. However, when I say train your mind like a general most people nod their heads, but I don't think many really get what I mean... And to make matters more confusing, I say that these strategies can be used in many arenas... Well, here's a quick story about a janitor who trains his mind like a general and controlled the engagement to outwit some students who were continually making a mess of the ladies bathroom... Here's the story... Teachers & Educators A local middle school in Michigan was recently faced with a unique problem. A new fad arose among the 8th grade girls with the use of lipstick. They began bringing, shari...

It takes a lot more effort and (initial) risk to try to work out differences and come up with a most good / least harm scenario. Yes, there is risk during conflict, but if you play your cards right, the damage can be minimized. In certain scenarios, things can sometimes come out even better than they would have without the incident occurring in the first place. Or at least make the most of a crappy situation...  Sucks or Sucks Worse! But only if you can see Conflict as an Opportunity. You've been there... Sh*t's going wrong. Things get stressful. People are upset, but the issue still needs to be handled. It's easy to just cut and run so to speak... And sometimes that's the appropriate thing to do. However, sometimes you can gain even more by sticking it out and working through the details to develop a new plan. Something that benefits everyone or is MOST good / LEAST harm for all (as best as you can expect) depending on the situation. Now...

Krav Ma-WOW Indeed! Last week was OFF THE HOOK at our local Krav MagaAcademy !! The pic above was from class... That's not a seminar mind you... it's a CLASS! Holy Cow! The New Year typically brings an uptick of students, but I have to say that I wasn't expecting THAT! Now I'm sure that things will simmer down a bit, but WOW! So, Why All the Interest? Is it all of the New Year Resolutionists? Possibly... It's pretty common to see an upswing in my programs after the first of the year, but I think there's more to it... Yes, many are interested in feeling SAFE, but I think theirs more to it than that yet... From what I see is that people from all walks of life are looking to bring more CONFIDENCE, POWER & CLARITY into their lives... AND... Feel connected to Something Larger than themselves... Many folks are looking for something MORE! More success, More fulfillment, More Life! Protecting ...

It can be difficult getting everything done this time of year... It can be even MORE difficult to keep your training and diet in check amidst all of your social events and hustle bustle of the holiday season... It is VERY EASY to get derailed in more than one way! As a matter of fact, I'm feeling a bit derailed myself lately! Healthy Holiday Checklist: Here's a quick "Healthy Holiday Checklist" of doable things to keep you from getting totally derailed w/your training and diet during the holiday season... Maybe make those New Years Resolutions a little closer to reach?! =) Anyway, here are the Fab 5 Healthy Holiday Suggestions: . 1) Move early. Start your day off on a good note with 20-30 minutes of some exercise. Even a short run or walk is perfect. You’ll feel better mentally and physically. And don’t put off until later because if you’re like me, it won’t happen. Maybe it’s time to work in that 5-10-15-20 workout ro...

Burn Baby Burn! A lot of my time has been spent putting out fires that not only needed to be addressed... As it turns out these fires have been the catalyst for some clarity and big growth for 2019 and beyond! So, all I can say is Burn Baby Burn! Although I may be a little crispy right now... Like the Phoenix I will be Reborn!!   The Fog of War... The holiday season can feel a lot like a war... The hustle & bustle with home life, work, kids, spouses, presents, parties, in-laws, friends, money, travel... The expectations of the holidays can be pretty overwhelming. It can be difficult to stay on track and actually ENJOY the season with your loved ones! So, take a breath, slow down & prioritize! Strip away those things that aren't necessary. Some of those things that you do you're doing because of some unhealthy sense of obligation. It's time to re-prioritize what is really important. Your kids... IMPORTANT! ...

When It's Not a Game... If you want your training to be sustainable for the long haul of your Life... It's difficult finding balance between smart, serious, yet lighthearted training. Serious enough to get the job done; lighthearted enough not wreck your body, brain or heart.   You want it to be enjoyable enough so that you'll want to do it on a regular basis. So it's part of your routine... Part of your LIFE! When you are training to prepare yourself for the situations you're likely to run into today... your approach has to be well rounded, so you can deal with everything from verbal disputes to physical violence. Kind of Like Church? What?! Yeah... Many people go to church 1x per week, but wouldn't say that church is a "HOBBY' right? Well the same w/Protector training! You may only go to your Krav Maga training a few times per week, but it's not a hobby... Not a game... Yes, you go to broaden and deepe...
