Do you have PPA?



     I really have not watched the NFL this season for personal reasons.

     I watched last week as the NY Giants got their heads handed to them by the Green Bay Packers.

     After watching how Aaron Rogers took apart the Giants defense with his arm, I figured I would watch the game today (Sunday).

     The game started off very one sided and the Packers immediately got off to an 18 point lead.  At
that point I decided to go do something else.

     I turned the game back on late in the 4th Quarter to see that the Cowboys had cut the Packer lead to 7 points.  With the game now tied and about 1 minute and thirty seconds to go, the Packers kicked a 52 yard field goal to go up by three.  The Cowboys quickly responded and kicked a 50+ yard field goal of their own with 35 seconds remaining.

     There was always the option for the Packers to just sit on the ball and take the game to overtime.  They were out of field goal range due to a sack.  It was going to take some Aaron Rogers magic once again.  He delivered!

     With the clock ticking down, raced to his left out of the pocket, and threw the ball up.  What was first called an incomplete pass was quickly over ruled by another referee and the replay showed this was indeed an unbelievable catch.

     Ok.  By now,  you are wondering, What the hell am I writing about football?

     Ok...I will tell you...ready?

     One of the announcers, upon seeing the replay of the catch said that Rogers threw that ball with Pin Point Accuracy.

     As I have been saying for a long time and been given grief by people who think they know it all, Don't worry George and Steve, I am not going to out you again for new nonsense on your part:-), Training with PinPoint™ Accuracy is the name of the game, whether it be for self defense purposes or to win Football games.  When things count...you have to be on the mark!

     The other day I was listening to a former Secret Service Agent (Dan Bongino) who served our country for 12 years under the Clintons, the Bushes (W), and the Obama Administrations.  he was talking about their training.  You train to be accurate in everything you  do from assessing situations and potential issues that may arise to the real thing.

     For me...nothing less than training with PinPoint™ Accuracy is acceptable.

     So my question for you today is, do you train just to train, or is the devil truly in the details?

   Until next time KO your obstacles by keeping it simple, keeping it safe, and train with PinPoint™ accuracy.

Choices

Image
We make choices each and every day in every thing we do. Think about it for a second... Just the fact that you may or may not have stopped to thin about it...was a choice. You also made a choice to read this blog now, push it off until later, or scroll right on by and not read it at all.  All of these are choices. Choices are basically questions we ask ourselves.  For example..."What should I have for breakfast?  Should I cook something or just pick something up on the way to work?"   Every second of every day we make choices for everything...even whether or not we finish reading this blog.  Hell!  Just me making the decision to write on this topic...was a choice. So lets look at how choices affect our decision making with regards to self defense situations.   The first choice happens before the altercation even starts...I mean waaaay before and this is with regards to training.   Giving someone too many options can ultimately cause t

Is Knowledge Power?

Image
In most cases, Knowledge is Power. When it comes to the martial arts...if you are teaching...then yes...Knowledge is Power or else no one would seek you out...BUT...Knowledge of what? If all one can do is dazzle someone with their BS, well...then the students, and the instructor for that matter...would have a false sense of security should they ever have to test their skills in a real confrontation. This is a case where Knowledge is being used to impress people...not to impress upon them the need to get on the mat and train. The key...IMO...is to train to reaction and response...and when I say this, I mean to do all of the above while understanding the nature of the threat level of the attack as well. There are times to just extricate yourself from the situation and there are times when the only way out to incapacitate the attacker, quickly. I have said this before...theory has its place. The important next part is to train the principles so that you so not ha

Rocks in your feed bag?

Image
Growing up my parents had a friend from Ohio that they had met in Barbados.  He would keep all of us entertained all day as we hung out at the pool with him and his wife and then the whole family would go to room 105 for drinks and canned cheese and crackers. Uncle Wil would tell us story after story about him growing up and the trouble he got in growing up during the depression.  He kept us in stitches and to this day, when someone in the family starts part of one of his sayings...someone else is sure to finish it. "What's the matter Wilbur (Uncle Wil)? Got rocks in your feedbag?" I guess this was the depression era equivalent of asking someone if they have just have too much clutter in their attic So what does this have to do with Kyusho and martial arts training in general? There are many different ways to train martial arts...as you already know.  When I first started on this journey, and I have spoken about this in the past...there were many in ou
