Greetings to everyone from the beautiful coastal mountains of Western Oregon. I have had a great deal of time to think about the situation that we have been going through. I do believe that it will take some work, but I see us being stronger as individuals and as a nation  when we have learned the lessons afforded us by this predicament. 

I have heard wonderful reports of many of you training on your own. That is so awesome. Keep…

Self Defense Comes In Many Forms.  But in all forms, awareness, being aware of what is going on around you is vitally important, for protection, for health and for growth.  

Growth is not always easy, but taking a step in the right direction will start you on your path.  

That said, I have put up an article from…
