I’ve had it with the whole New Year Resolutions thing. I’m done. I’m getting off the bandwagon and actively choosing to NOT participate. The whole concept is bogus nonsense anyway when you think about it. Continue reading
I know, I know. You’ve been breathing your entire life so how could you be doing it wrong? You practice all day, every day, right? So you’re thinking – Pretty simple stuff here – in through the nose, out through the mouth, what’s so difficult about this? How could I possibly be screwing it up? I mean, it’s an automatic process for goodness sake! Doesn’t my body know what it’s doing? Continue reading
Strap in, Warriors. I have something I need to get off my chest.
This has been on my mind lately and it drives me absolutely crazy. It’s the idea running rampant in the fitness industry that to have had a productive, effective workout you must lying in the fetal position in a pool of your own sweat and vomit at the end of it. This is ridiculous. Continue reading
“Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.”
― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
The potential for greatness lies within us all. We just need to cultivate it. But cultivation requires 2 things: effort and consistency.

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
When talking about strength training for women there are several pervasive myths that seem to never go away. Here are the four most common ones.
If you have Warrior Fitness Training style questions, send them to me. I answer any and all serious (well, mostly serious) questions about training, my Warrior Fitness System, my views on fitness, martial arts, self defense, strength & conditioning, or training for sport/athletic performance.
