This may be overly simplistic, but to me there really are only 2 kinds of people in the world. You are either an action TAKER or an action TALKER. And all of us immediately know the difference – it’s the “L”, right? But seriously… Continue reading
How many people do you know just in your own circle of friends and family who have broken, sprained, or otherwise injured their ankle(s)? A pretty significant amount of people, right? Continue reading
I’ll never forget my first fight. In fact, the thought of it even now gets me all worked up. I’m not sure exactly how old I was, maybe 6 years old, but I know I was in 1st grade. This little boy, who had a reputation of being the class bully, was picking on a girl I liked. Her name was Autumn. She had bright blue eyes and hair so blond it was almost white. My first crush.

I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was 16 years old, sitting in the back seat of my parent’s car thumbing through the latest issue of Black Belt magazine when I came to a full page advertisement for the 1989 Tai Kai with Ninjutsu Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi. To my shock and utter astonishment this 3-day seminar with the master ninja and his top students from Japan was being held in the United States. Not only was it being held in the US, but in my home state of NJ, not even an hour drive from my house! Something clicked in my brain – I HAD to go to this thing! Continue reading

Nobody would argue that to reach your true potential in a martial art or combat sport, you need to be accurate when executing a move. Whether you are attempting an arm-bar, single leg take-down or a punch to the face, you are going to suck if you don’t connect with your target where you want to. And while much practice in your chosen sport will go a long way to building this skill, there are extra things we can do to either catch up or put the icing on the cake, so to speak. Continue reading

This past Saturday I, along with my brother Dave and my brother-from-another-mother, Jason, ran the ultimate Adventure Race, the Tough Mudder! If you are not familiar with the Tough Mudder, let me explain. It is a 12 mile race with 25 military style obstacles between mile 1 and mile 12. Oh yeah, and lots and lots of mud! Continue reading
Sometimes it seems so easy to just give in, give up, and go along with the status quo. Such a relief to just let go and allow yourself to become that proverbial fat, dumb, and happy person.
Carving your own path can be too challenging and fraught with many risks and dangers.
Going with the flow, following the pack, doing what normal people do (whatever that is these days!), is so much less trying. Traveling the well worn path with the masses rather than the road less traveled makes so much more sense to most and requires so little thought and effort. It’s safe. The risks are minimal, the rewards are known. It’s a sure thing. Continue reading
Most days I love training. No secret there. But every once in a while, when I’m not quite feeling it, I catch myself looking for an excuse. At these times the flimsiest, lamest excuse will do. You know what I mean, right? The funny thing about excuses is that to someone outside looking in, they seem to be the most ridiculous and inane things, yet to we who are making them they seem to be perfectly logical and iron clad. Fact is, once we set our minds on an excuse, it takes a huge, overwhelming effort to push it aside and get done what we need to do. Continue reading
