The Pain of Transformation
Every now and then it’s good to remind ourselves of the initial pain we all went through when starting a new exercise program. After we have been training for a while and our body has adapted to the positive stress provided by the workout, we sometimes forget how difficult it was in those early days…
How to Develop Wrists of Steel
Martial arts training, especially in arts like Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, Aikido, and old school Jujutsu, tend to put a lot stress on practitioners’ wrists due to the various types of wrist locks and throws. Over time this can lead to chronic wrist pain, soreness, and even permanent injury.
Quit or Destroy
When faced with a seemingly insurmountable obstacle in life, you really have only 2 options – go forward or go backward. Backward is to quit, to give up, to walk away. Backward is not a viable option unless you don’t mind living with regret. But regret is a pain that does not go away. It…

Breakfast, the Most Overrated Meal of the Day
Most of us have grown up with the phrase, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” drilled into our heads. We’ve heard it thousands of times and perhaps have even quoted it to others thousands of times as well. No harm was meant by it, in fact, the people who said it to…
Lessons From The 500
Yesterday morning I woke up (as I’m sure most of you did too) and decided that the day’s workout would be devoted to mental toughness. The particular form my mental toughness training took was to complete a 500 rep push-up challenge by the end of the day.

If you are ready to put your body, mind, and spirit to the test, this circuit is guaranteed to kick your conditioning into high gear.
Why Do You Do That?
Here’s a quick video I put together Friday afternoon to answer a question posed by one of my non-training friends. I had described to him some of the brutal and intense workouts I put myself through on a weekly basis and he couldn’t quite wrap his head around why anyone in their right mind would want…
Awaken The Man
Comfortably slumbering under the influence of the drug that is modern society, the true power of man lies dormant. Too much of the wrong foods have made him sluggish and their excesses have made him round. Too much sitting, whether it be in an office laboring behind a keyboard, or on a couch relaxing from…
Lunchtime Warriors
During my 15 year stint in the confines of cubicle hell, otherwise known as Corporate America, the lunch hour was always my time to escape from the office and do some training. Depending on how densely packed my meetings were scheduled for the day, and if the boss was around or not, usually dictated how…
