Sunday, July 2nd, 2006

Lost my balance a few weeks ago. Trying to stay on an even keel in the future.

Man, was I off-balance and falling fast!

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Hey, everybody. I know, it’s been awhile; glad to be back.
Alot has happened since about January. Closed an unsuccessful business, started a job clocking in for the man (and retail at that), and just started back to school. Less time for martial arts.
And most important to me, less time for church and family.
From coaching my daughter’s soccer team last fall to missing most practices and a lot of games this spring. From watching most of my oldest son’s football practices and games last fall to missing most soccer practices and games this spring season. I haven’t made one swim meet this summer. Kids and wife are usually asleep when I get home evenings. I’m just not able to spend time with them like I used to.
It all hit the fan a few weekends ago. July’s Sweat Blood! ezine touches on the role of martial arts training in a balanced life.
How do you see martial arts training helping you keep a balanced life?

“Sweat Blood!” ezine – January (Repeat. Basics!)

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

I told you before. Basics!
Huge topic, a little of the ‘how’ and ‘why’ this time. There really is no substitute for repeatedly studying basics to be the best you can. After all, we’re learning to control our minds and bodies.
And you have to practice it.
And you have to repeat it. (Read about the consequences for you and your school in the article.)
This new evolved karate I keep reading about; and the boredom complaints I hear – you’re missing it!
You’re just missing it.

December Issue of “Sweat Blood! E-zine” Is Up!

Friday, December 23rd, 2005

I firmly, firmly believe in the importance of basics. I included Tiger’s stats in the article – they’re dramatic – to make the case as to why what he did is so remarkable. I learned while getting the background info that a lot of writers really slammed him for changing his swing. You know, the same writers pulling down their five-figures.
Anyway, a great lesson here for us karate-ka. Tiger’s approach to his basics is tenacious! No matter what we’re studying it’s all about the basics. Sports, academics, music, etc. They all have it.
Yeah, I was a music geek (and loved it!!!) from 2nd grade through college. The basics were key. (Get it?)
Here’s the link to the archived e-zine.
