The Standing Armbar – a matter of physics.
Often times we look at a standing armbar as a technique – and not an act of physics and mechanics. But, if we look a little deeper at the levers involved, we begin to see that we in actuality can do very little work if we let mechanical concepts take hold. First, take a look [...]
Boxing and being a balanced fighter…
Friends Without being a well-rounded fighter you are not a good fighter. We posted a video (http://youtu.be/P39b_YxpliI) on Facebook of me working on a great company’s heavy bag system and I get message like ‘Why are you boxing?’ ‘Why are you working on a bag, it doesn’t hit back!’ One word: pankration. The truth is [...]
Breaking Balance for a bad back…
My family has bad backs. I’ve grown up with it and in my 20′s I began having back problems. The problem becomes in your 20′s, when you’re invincible, you don’t worry about it…in your 30′s you begin to. If you’re me, you just take the pain as it comes. You hurt, you cut back on [...]

Taking pride in your work…
I’m fortunate to have patient students. Your students are your mirror – they show every scowl, every scar, every bruise, every problem. Or they show every laugh line, lesson learned, every ‘light bulb’ moment. Do you have a broken mirror? Do you have a mirror you don’t like to look in? Do you have carnival [...]
CT
I haven’t cried in a while at the news. I cried today when I got done consulting and finally looked at the news. No one is able to post a blog right now without looking at the situation in CT. Everyone will jump on bandwagons…pro-gun, anti-gun, sell some books, sell some videos. Within a week [...]
Pi Kappa Phi – from Matt
Not many things bring me to tears, but as I look at the 108th anniversary of Pi Kappa Phi, I well up. I can only hope that my life’s work, Pramek, brings the same level of principle to people who will never know my Fraternity’s path. The mistakes of young men learning their role, and [...]
