Getting attacked, dealing with aggression, and dealing with the amount of force you may have had to inflict on another, are huge areas of consideration.

Are you Prepared to Defend Yourself?

Most of all can you deal with that? It’s great to train deadly techniques in a dojo…but how about real life? Look at how you feel when people talk poorly about you, spread bullshit, and go out of their way to discredit you. These are emotional attacks. And they hurt. You care, and what people say about you, matters.

We want to train ourselves to a point where that isn’t so, but, in the interim, it is.

What about physical? What if an attacker chooses to come at you in public, in front of your children, etc. Traumatic? Of course! What part of your training have you dedicated to being a mental and emotional warrior, where that affect is diminished?

Are you Prepared to Defend Yourself?

Therefore have you taken the time to train yourself in the areas of dealing with stress, aggression, and it’s aftermath? You not only need to have the skills to deal with an attack in the moment, but also, the after effect.

This is an area so often overlooked. Once again, we learn, that self defense is a mental and emotional skill set, much more than physical.

And what about hurting another? Can you deal with that? When someone is bleeding, and in pain, and you have caused that….are you OK with that? Do you have the mental and emotional skills to deal with that? You might not.

In the most martial arts classes, we learn how to dish shit out. But, rarely how to deal with the after effect.
 
Even more importantly, do you have the mental and emotional expertise to not over react? Can you defend yourself legally, which is to only nullify the attack, and not go overboard?

“I know how to kick someone in the throat” or “I am a BJJ warrior and can choke anyone out” is stupid. That’s not self defense. It’s "between-the-4-walls-of-the-dojo-games." There is a lot more to self defense, than the physical. Way more. Are you ready? Are you Prepared to Defend Yourself?

Are you Prepared to Defend Yourself? in Conclusion

Therefore no martial artist, MMA fighter, or steroid freak can do shit against that. But that does not matter. Are you trained mentally, and emotionally, to:

1. Not get stupid in the face of a situation, and cause it to escalate.
2. And if it escalates, still be in control of yourself?
3. After the fact, have the mental and emotional strength to survive what you have been involved in? 50,000 reps of a job to the face in the dojo, will never teach you these things.

In many ways her sister is my best friend. I returned to visit again in 2010, 2011, 2012 and in 2013.

In 2013 while on a month long trip to Romania a huge issue happened in my Dojo. The building we operating in was sold out from under us and we had to move BEFORE I was scheduled to return. I had to cut my trip short and return again to Canada. But upon my feet touching the ground in Toronto I knew I no longer belonged there. 

Life is Taking Risks

At this point in time I was living with my elderly mother. I moved back in 2011 when her abilities to live alone ceased. And I would never allow her to be locked away in one these "homes." And I had promised her much also.

To pass in her home. So my son Scott and I lived there and took turns teaching classes, and seeing her needs were met. she passed on August 11th 2015 at 96.  I finalized my plans to leave and moved January 29th 2016.

Now my mother was my mentor in life. I had a great childhood. We were poor, but happy. 

When I came back in 2013 my mother said to me she did not expect me to return. We talked, because I had decided to move to Romania. And my son Scott decided about a year later to do the same.

Life is Taking Risks

So what is the point to this article? To understanding that the mind must be open at all times to learning. And learning is NOT following some alleged 'expert' because he has letters behind his or her name. Do you know how many experts in "life" told me I was INSANE and I would fail?

And  I did not fail. Was the move challenging? One hundred percent! There is not much English in Transilvania, the region I live in, therefore I had to adapt quickly. But I had already experience this, and knew this. And Romanian is a very challenging language with Latin and Slavic roots. 

Life is Taking Risks in Conclusion

There is chaos on the streets of the west today. are you training for chaos? Or for a fight with rules? This is something for you to ponder. Thank you for reading Life is Taking Risks. I hope you got something from it.

A Time of Great Change

Nothing will change for you, the follower of what I offer because it will remain in place, and it is fully supported and automated. I just won't be bugging you with very many emails any longer as soon as I scale this back. Which is slowly. I have installed a NEW Support Site to handle any issues. There are FAQ's there to help people with the most common recurring problems. I only get maybe one ticket submitted per month so this is a great system I could handled 100's per day, but that won't happen.

One of my reasons for change of direction is since 2019 my website [blog] views have gone from around 450 to 500 per day down to on average 50 or 60. And this is sad because it is the BEST free resource anywhere on the internet for Kyusho Jitsu. But the BS of 2020 to present has destroyed much of the martial arts industry. People are more interested in groups on FB then real life study. People do not want to learn, they want to tell everyone they KNOW because they saw it on FB. 

A Time of Great Change

I am hoping to eliminate myself from all Social media within the coming months. Personally, and it is only my opinion, social media has destroyed society. Right now my presence there is only for one reason, and that is not martial art related.

Last fall I announced ZOOM sessions for both Kyusho and Kosho. And while I am leaving the pages up, I am scrapping the idea, there is just no interest. And for the large investment of time and infrastructure I need numbers. 

This is a A Time of Great Change.

A Time of Great Change in Conclusion

That is not why I resurrected the World Budo Alliance. However the website will remain here for future usage. Thank you for taking time to read "A Time of Great Change."

Let's make a toast to our health!

They may be massed together to form a sense organ, such as the eye or ear, or they may be scattered, as are those of the skin and viscera.  To put it simply, these are antennae radar-like ‘technology’ that sends and receives signals.  

These signals are responsible for that invisible communication between people and allow us to pick up on other people’s signals.  This is truly fascinating stuff and I touched on this in my Beyond Healing with Brain, Stomach and Feet course.  But let’s get into it a little more, and to help you along in your understanding.

Let's make a toast to our health!

Do you know that instant ‘rapport’ connection you have with people?  Well, that’s from these receptors too.  If this science was truly studied by the Medical Establishment and taught to us, instead of their virus and germ lies and propaganda, we would have known about them in more detail.  

The Prophet of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said, “Do not place a sick patient with a healthy person.”  The Medical Establishment loved this saying because they could twist it for their purposes and promote their contagion agenda.

The truth behind His saying was that our bodies can pick up on the feelings of sick people and trigger responses in our bodies.   Now, something else that I must add is the Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) encouraged us to go visit the sick.  There are great rewards for us and them.  

There are many sayings from the Prophet about visiting the sick.  So there is no issue except for the Medical Establishment twisting the Prophet’s words for their own self gains.

Let's make a toast to our health!

So how do these Bio Receptors work?  When you see someone sick, these receptors pick up on it and want to trigger the healing system in your body.  And ‘Presto’ your Natural Body Detox has started.  It may have been that your cycle was a few weeks later but the sign of the sick person triggered your body to respond too.  

So can you see why the father gets sick and then the mother and then the children etc?  It has nothing to do with contagions but these Bio Receptors in our bodies are triggering the healing system to activate and respond.  This research falls under the category of Bio-Resonance and if we get to the heart of it?  It’s electricity!  

Let's make a toast to our health in Conclusion

And if you want to take a dive into healing your body from chronic sicknesses please check out my Beyond Healing courses available at Kyusho Online.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for reading Let's make a toast to our health today.

Thanks and wishing you all the best in your health.

Therefore I must disagree. Aging is a Lie!

Why do people tend to die at age 72? Because they believe they are supposed too. That is just one of the endless lies of the failed and thank the Lord dying western culture. Let me tell you some stories, real ones.

Aging is a Lie

When I moved from the city of Brasov into the country the first winter was rather sever. One morning after another snow fall I had to go into the city. Now I no longer drive, and I do not miss it, therefore I had to walk down the mountain a few kilometers to catch a bus into Brasov. I went out on our 30 degree angle down-slope road and began to descend.

Well I was going a little too fast when suddenly my feet came out from under me. Crash! I was on my back! I laid there and laughed for a moment and began to get up. From up the road I heard a voice saying "Stai acolo te voi ajuta!" or "Stay there, I'll help you." I looked up and saw this old lady walking down towards me. Now I am 63, she was about 80. She was at my side in a few seconds. She asked me "Eşti în regulă? "or "are you ok?" I replied "Da, da.

Aging is a Lie

She then pulled me up by my hand like I was a child, not a 200 pound man. She showed me how to walk down the mountain road, in the snow safely. I never had another fall. At the bottom of the hill I thanked her, "Multumesc draga mea doamna." He kissed my cheek and we parted ways.

There was NOTHING old about this dear soul. She knows aging is a lie.

Life is a path

Before I moved to Romania in 2016 I saw a really good documentary on Romania called "Wild Carpathia." At one point the host and another man went up into the mountains to see an old lady who lived alone in exclusion with her animals. She was in her 80's. She had to walk down the mountain several times per day to a stream for her water. The 2 men went and filled up some jugs for trying to be nice. But they did not understand her. She was happy, yet these men pitied her.

I live currently in a compound in this mountain with a few other families. One lady, the mother or grand mother of a family here is also well into her 80's. I have gotten a lot of practice in Romanian as Elena does not "limba engliza."

Her and I would sit out on a bench and talk for hours. She helped me a lot. And she worked in the yard regardless of weather all day long. Plus she loves my dogs.

Aging is a Lie, unless you believe the lie. 

Aging is a Lie in Conclusion

Myself I am trying to promote learning, continued education in the martial arts so that this LIE can die. When I ask someone here "Ce mai faci?" I do not get a list of aches and pains from most. Rather they talk of their day, or their families.

Age is of the MIND. And the MIND is all. Turn off the television, get off Facebook, stop complaining and seek self improvement. Perhaps more martial arts training.

Or perhaps learn a language, learn an musical instrument? Something other then bitching about life, yet not being willing to something about it. 

Stop living in FEAR and start living! The saddest part of death is that most people never really live.

I am ALIVE. Sunt in viata. A fi viu.
