Are you feeling the Pressure?



Recently I became of aware of some negative things that 2 people had been saying about my life's work.  I had considered one a mentor for many years and the other a colleague of sorts.  

I could have taken that negativity and used it in a negative way...which does nothing positive for no one.

After talking to a few people about this, they saw the opportunity there to get the positive element out of this situation.  After all...it is all about perspective...no?

So I decided to go the positive rout and have some fun with this at the same time.

Here is a clip of what I am talking about

The best part about this was taking the negative energy from George Dillman and Steve Stewart focusing that energy into the positive realm.  They actually helped me to further define what have been working on for many years.

I am actually grateful they did this.  Now I know what their intentions were and I do agree that I am a threat to them because my skills go way beyond the martial arts field.

Many times we try to place things or people in a negative light so others will not see the true value right in front of us.  I have been guilty of this as well.


We start to feel the pressure when someone else starts to succeed.  If either one of them had come to me to ask me what I was doing...I would have gladly had that conversation.  Sadly...they chose another route...and I am happy to say that their route helped me tremendously.

My goal all along has been to build bridges...not walls.  The world is really a small place and I feel it is better to work together.  

Life is short...have a sense of humor and do your best to look on the positive side of things.  

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

Conservative Kyusho vs. Liberal Kyusho

          As the world knows...today is the Inauguration of President Donald Trump.  Whether you like it or not, he will be the 45th President of the United States.      This blog post is not about the Inauguration, but rather Conservative vs. Liberalism within the Kyusho World.      In the Liberal Kyusho world, there are those who give you everything that you ask for, without looking at the bigger picture...Long Term Success in Learning Kyusho.      They over-complicate the learning process by throwing so much at you that you can never learn the finer points and details.      Liberalism focus's on change and reform.  I don't have a problem with that.  When your training or teaching in a complicated manner, the chances of success go down.  Fill your head with too much crap...all you do is slow down the learning process Big Time! ...

Innovation

          Why is it that the light bulb is associated with creativity or a new idea?  For starters, when we turn on the light...we can now see what was right in front of us...but for some reason...was not very clear.  Secondly, the light bulb also signifies the illumination of the mind through intellectual or spiritual enlightenment.      There are many ways to innovate.   Innovation can be in the form of the verbiage you use in, for example, a restaurant, "Do you want fries with that?"        One particular restaurant started using that phrase about 20 years ago and it has made them millions of $ in their coffers and put millions of pounds of fat on their clientele.  The phrase was innovative...the result...no so much...but we are only talking about innovation here:-)      I recently heard a story about Franchise that had grown its membership by 50% in just 7 months a...

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...
