Its monday Mofuckers, the Grind starts All over again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Started a new diet yesterday , “The Warrior Diet”,  it was designed by an Israeli Special Forces operator, day 2 of 45 days….

Its ALL about who you surround yourself with…

new crop of Instructors are being forged here at the Machine Factory, The Israeli Compound, The New home to the HaganaH National Headquarters….I am surrounded with awesome people, great FIGHT Instructors will come out of this Certification!!!

What ever task is in front of you , FOCUS, do it right…think before you act, that is what makes us different than the other species on the planet…the oparate by instinct, we as human can think ahead.

Garret thought a Great knife fighting seminar last night at the Israeli Compound. John Clarke started his Combat Wrestling Certification this morning , and Coop and I are kicking off  our Combat Fitness Instructor Certification here at 4pm!

A male Lion in his prime weights about 450lbs….if a Lion would jump on your table now, woulkd it be sturdy or would it collapse???

I know Our table is as sturdy as it can be, Garret/John/Coop/and I….we are having a Badass weekend, hope all the HaganaH family across the board is as well!!!

so many follow because they beleive there is wisdom in doing what eveyone else does, or simply because the want to take the path of least resistance.

It is in RESISTANCE that you will forge your true strenght, not by following.

I am in a proccess of writing a book, it is called “Machine Of Life” the opening quote in the book is a quote I have formulated over a long time a period…it took me a long time to get it right, I wanted a quote the describe how I think as a fighting Instructor: ” It Is Not By Those You Followed That You Will Be Remembered, It Is By Those You Defied” Mike Lee Kanarek

The day you stop questioning,  you have become a sheep.

HaganaH is a family of Lions, always questioning, always evolving…some look at us and say “they have lost their mind” …I rather lose my mind while asking a thousand questions than to find myself while  thinking I have found one single answer.

To be a teacher is a call…those who teach from the heart truly brighten people’s lives!!!

Combat Fitness Instructor Certification : April 8th , 9th and 10th at the “Israeli Compound ; Home of HaganaH’s National Headquarters”….must be a Certified Combat Fitness Coach to attend and pass the physical qualifications set by Coop:

Its Saturday morning….Solid Combat Fitness workout here at the National Headquarters, Blake is here with us on the mat, life is Good!!!

The More The Knight Gets Scared, The More Armour He Puts On…its not how big you are, its how well you move!!!

every year I come up with one custom shirt, last year was the Machine shirt I produced at the end of 2011, the motto on that shirt is ” We Dont Use Machines, We Are Machines”

My next shirt I am working on is my ” By Wisdom, Not By Size” shirt…this shirt hits closed to heart with me and I am very excited about designing it. It represent the biblical epic of David and Goliath, of how the technique of David beat the much larger sized opponent Goliath.

So many people think they have to make themself bigger in order to have a better chance in a fight…I always say: at the moment of the fight you can not change the logistic of size , if your opponent is bigger it is something out of your control at the moment and you can not make yourself bigger in a split moment. However you cant always out maneuver your opponent and beat him with superior strategies.

this is similar to my quote : “when you not training, someone out there is training to kick your ass”

Its Monday, the grind starts all over again….make it a badass grind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
