Coco Puffs


Growing up there were so many cereals that were the worst things to eat...but they had great marketing!

They were nothing more than a sugary coating wrapped in more sugary BS, but hey...there was a prize in the box for subjecting ourselves to this dietary abuse:-)

The same is true today of education and online courses.

There are many quality online courses out there.  Some have a great combination of great marketing and equally great content.  Others...well...they have really good marketing.  Did I say that they have really good marketing?

On the surface cereals like Coco Puffs, Captain Crunch, Frankenberry, Boo Berry, etc. were a collection of sugary garbage that did nothing for you...but your dentist was extremely busy!

When looking at online programs...one must look to see is the content is relevant and that there is a comprehensive long term educational strategy..or else what good is it?

Sadly...most programs do not have a long term strategy...they are just looking for a short term cash hit...lets be honest.

When I started my online program...we first spent almost 2 years researching how to take my personal method and present it in such a way as to make the learning easy.  The first thing I had to do was to reshoot everything....I tried taking old content..which I thought was relevant, but the delivery method is where I fell short.

We shot all new footage based on this new "recipe" and it just took off!

The most important part was the feeback through both written testimonials and speaking via video phone and in person to those in the program.  The recipe that we created helped to bridge the learning gaps tremendously and quickly...just as I promised.

The goal going into this was to create a comprehensive program based on the actual model that I was using personally...but just did not really know how I was able to learn quickly.

All of this has helped us to Redefine how not just Kyusho but martial arts in general can be learned.

My question for you today is...what can you do to increase the quality of your mental diet and not be suckered into the Coco Puffs syndrome of looks good on the outside...but when internalized...it retards your growth?

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

Is Knowledge Power?

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

Hey!...Its on sale!!

Image
We all like something on sale!  Who doesn't? What is more important...the price or the VALUE? Price is something we pay for a product or service. VALUE is what we get, or more importantly...the perception of what we get for a given price. We all have different perceptions of value.  Price is price...nothing to perceive here...just the exchange for pieces of paper with famous dead people on them. For me personally...price is secondary to the VALUE I will get if I decide to purchase that product or service. So here is my question for you today...What drives your purchase of things...price or VALUE?  Only you can answer that. Until next time KO your obstacles by keeping it simple, keeping it safe, and train with PinPoint™ accuracy.   Mark Kline is a short, bald, professional martial artist from NJ.  He is the architect of the PinPoint™ Method of Pressure Point Education for Martial Arts which is hosted by the Kyusho Institute.  He has tho

Innovation

Image
          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 after a new leadership team had taken over.  This did not happen just because they are great at
