HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY BRUCE LEE!!

November 27,1940-July 20,1973

To My mentor and one of the greatest martial arts exponents of the twentieth and
twenty first century.

I began my martial arts journey at the ripe age of ten years,in the summer of 1971.
My original inspiration was Bruce Lee and my uncle Willie. It is with great
humility i pay homage to the man that influenced me to take this path. i am truly grateful

RONDA ROUSEY GETS WHAT SHE DESERVES:A LESSON IN DEFEAT-brother teacherI

Ronda Rousey learns a lesson in both defeat and humility...


Just a few short weeks ago, i made a comment about UFC champion Ronda Rousey being
a very arrogant fighter, and now her reign as champ has ended.

Let me first say that Ronda is a great athlete and competitor, but she was not the best
as she touted. So many times have i seen her in interviews talking trash about other
competitors, and how she whipped up on a group of people in a movie theatre.

The self centered narcissistic Ronda found out not many days ago, that there was
someone else that deserved the title who was a little more humble and appreciative
of the title, and that someone was Holly Holm.

You know, all of the years that i have studied and trained in the martial arts, the very
first lesson i was taught was to be humble, and that there was always someone out
there better than you. We were taught to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.

This new generation of so-called fighters don't seem to understand this principle
(this does not apply to all). 

While Ronda is healing, i hope that she takes this lesson to heart ...Please see video

Don't teach Children knife and Gun self Defense until they are old enough

SHOULD YOU TEACH CHILDREN GUN AND KNIFE SELF DEFENSE?


SINCE THE BRUCE LEE ERA, MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOLS HAVE SPRUNG UP ALL
OVER THE WORLD. SOME LEGITIMATE AND MANY NOT SO LEGITIMATE,
BUT MANY OF THESE SCHOOLS TEACH OUR CHILDREN ANY AND EVERY-
THING. THERE SHOULD BE DISCRETION EXERCISED AT ALL TIMES.

MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOLS SHOULD NOT JUST EXIST TO GIVE US ANY AND
EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE, THERE SHOULD BE A LIMIT ON HOW AND 
AND WHAT OUR CHILDREN ARE TAUGHT. CHECKOUT THE VIDEO
