Marching On!

Congrats to Vince Rotondi on his win at the PPD vs PFD Boxing Fundraiser!

Congrats to all the competitors this weekend at The Good Fight Submission Grappling Tournament!

Here are some articles from the past two weeks over at georgesamuelson.com:

The “Buzzword” That Most of the Fitness Industry Lost Sight Of

The Better Off Dead Approach to Fitness Cues

It Took Dr. Dre 10 Years To Do a Detox; Why Are You Rushing To Do One?

Essential Life Skills: How to Make a Funnel Out of Paper

A Notoriously B.I.G. Juicy Approach on How to Reach Your Goals Sooner

Food for thought.

If one of the big topics in the industry is barefoot running and how it is a self limiting exercise, couldn't we say the same for how else we train?

What if we listened to our bodies more?

Cliff Notes for Past Couple of Months

• Another great learning experience and workshop with Doc back in October 2009.
• Assisted at the first ever Philadelphia RKC in October 2009.
• Great learning experiences at R- & I-Phases of Z-Health.
• Been dealing with being sick for the past couple of months.
• Been focusing more on development & growth of myself and a few of my peers.

That being said:

• Many projects & workshops to attend/promote so far this year.
• Continued development and progression.
• Been working with some people "behind the scenes" that I am very privileged to be doing so with.

More to come.

Couldn't say it better myself...

"People need to know that living in denial, about anything, will eventually catch up to them. No solution is better than dealing with issues in a straight-forward, transparent, and consistent fashion, especially when it comes to our own bodies."

Dr. Mark Cheng, RKC Team Leader on my article:

The difference between “A-ha” and “oh s@#t”

NJ KB Workshop w/ Dr. Cheng Recap

A fast and furious four hours of Hard Style to a sold out crowd!

Squat/Deadlift patterning, Hard Style lock, the power of Breath, Swing, and Turkish Get-Ups!

All positive feedback from attendees from various organizations (general public, fitness, law enforcement, military).

Special thanks to RKCs AJ Oliva & RKC II Steve Freides for bringing bells down.

Special thanks to Israeli Krav Maga, David Kahn, Abel Kahn, & Chris Eckel for their assistance and generous hosting.

From myself, a heartful thank you to Dr. Cheng and all attendees. Doc is a great mentor, teacher, and someone I call my brother. I have learned so much from him throughout the weekend and today. Without him and other senior RKCs, I wouldn't have the instruction to better myself in my learning and application.

To the attendees, I am glad that all of you moved better, learned about your own restrictions, what to work on, and generally appreciated the workshop that you attended.

Again, thank you.

More to come in the future.
