    Don't be a punching bag.  Don't just stand there and take it.  Stand up for yourself. You don't have to just take the punches, the insults, the abuse.  You have to take a stand.  Don't be a punching bag.

    As someone who hates the cold, I never thought I would have done a cold plunge, Ice bath, or anything involving me in ICE COLD water.  
    But... I wanted to show myself, my family, friends and others that we are mentally and physically stronger. Plus... I couldn't let my husband be the only Bad@ss. Listen in to hear my experience in my first cold Plunge.

  • 014: How I started Teaching

    Send a text

    I don't know what it was... But I definitely DID NOT like teaching martial arts when I started.  
    I was young.
    I liked training.
    I liked competing.
    But I did not enjoy teaching. AT ALL!

    But it took one moment.  One interaction.  One exchange with a student for me to realize why I actually enjoyed teaching. And then became good at it. 

    I hope you enjoy this episode about and find some valuable information about what your purpose is and that moments in life can change who we are.

    In todays episode we go into the importance of tying your belt. CORRECTLY. It is more than just a way to show your rank but a discipline in itself. It is a  way you present yourself to others.  A form of respect.
