It Takes All types

You meet all types of people in the martial arts world. By and large the majority of them are great people who are enthusiastic about what they do, and they love to tell you about their art. These types of martial artists are the kind of people that can make you want to run right out and join the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Weaker Sex

Sometimes I forget how nice it is being a woman. The power of the female gender is, when used properly, the greatest thing in existence. I don't mean to say that women are superior to men or that men are powerless in the face of feminine wiles. Trust me, this is not the case. Men and women are made... Sign in to see full entry.

Tired and Sore

Tire and sore. Two words that pretty much sum up my existence at the moment, and I've got to tell you I'm not real thrilled about it either. Being tired and sore is part of my life. Doing what I do it's just part of the job. But there's physically tired, and then there's mentally tired. And right... Sign in to see full entry.

Part of the Life

My step-father laughed at me last night, when I made a joke about shaking someone down for some money they owed him. I wasn't serious, but he was. Bottom line, and I'm not going to sugar coat it either, is that I've spent a lot of hours over the past two years learning to beat the hell out of... Sign in to see full entry.

What Is Going On Here?

A day after yet another school shooting I turn on the news to see that a 14 year old boy has been taken into custody because police were tipped off about the school shooting he had planned. He had asked a friend to help him go to the school and shoot the place up, so the friend told his father who... Sign in to see full entry.

Unveiled Thinking

Only a warrior chooses pacifism; others are condemned to it. ~ Unknown War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling that thinks nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing...

Out Of Bounds...

One thing I had to struggle to get used to in the Martial Arts world is the constant violation of physical space. That's a tough one for me, and to be honest even with those I love and trust the most it's still hard to handle. When you are sparring with your partner and doing things that if done...

The First Step

The first step is always the hardest. It's never an easy thing to leave something behind, even temporarily. Especially something you have dedicated your life to. But sometimes you have no choice, and you must make the sacrifices necessary to become more then a victim of your circumstances. Sometimes... Sign in to see full entry.

Arrogant Ignorance

You know, there are a whole lot of ignorant people in this world. I've had more than my share of stupid moments, believe me I have, and I will continue to do so, but it always amuses me when I see pure and total ignorance in action. Not the kind that comes from simply not knowing any better, but the... Sign in to see full entry.

Cross Roads

When I started the journey to black belt, I had a clear vision of what I wanted. I wanted to earn the right to say I was a black belt. Not be given one. I'd had no experience in the martial arts outside of kung fu theater and Jackie Chan movies, so I came into it with no pre-conceived notions and an... Sign in to see full entry.
