Reality SDC

Having been a coach and trainer for over 25 years, I thought I would share my current early morning routine in the hope it would help some people.

My 4am “Alpha Routine”

4:00am: Wake up and immediately check my sleep score to determine my self-worth.
4:02am: Drink 3 litres of glacier water harvested by Tibetan monks.
4:05am: Ice bath filled with the tears of my competitors.
4:15am: Sun my a**s for optimal energy transfer and spiritual alignment.
4:25am: Journal 47 things I'm grateful for, including my own mindset.
4:30am: Consume a breakfast of raw liver, elk testicles, and organic air.
4:45am: Ground myself barefoot on imported volcanic rocks.
5:00am: Read 12 books simultaneously.
5:30am: Manifest generational wealth through aggressive breathing.
6:00am: Post a video explaining how anyone can do this if they really wanted success and start a podcast

People ask how I stay productive.
The answer is simple: I sacrifice all joy and basic human behaviour.

Lest we forget

Reality Self Defense and Conditioning officially launched on this day in 2006 marking 20 years of being in small business today.

That is no small feat.

We’ve seen it all - births, deaths, marriages, divorces, pandemics, GFC’s, you name it we’ve been through it and are still standing.

If there’s one thing small business teaches you, it’s this - GRIT.

Still passionate.

Still loving what we do.

Still helping others achieve their goals of personal safety, health and fitness. Still delivering defensive tactics and functional training. Still on task and on mission.

Still here.

Thank you to all the people who have been a part of that journey. Instructors, coaches and mentors, students and clients. Thank you to all those who have supported us/me over the years.

It’s been a wild ride.

Ok, the title is clickbait. It does. Reposting an old article

On average, most fighters or people training in combat sports are far, far more adequately equipped physically, technically, and psychologically to deal with real self-defense situations than most martial artists or Kravvers. They have forged their iron in the heat of gladiatorial battle, hard physical training and sparring. You can’t hide in combat sports or on the mats.

It’s far better than playing wanna be,
make believe, tough guy dress ups- that’s common place in Krav Maga or most “reality based” training.

And that’s coming from an Expert Level 2 Israeli trained Krav instructor (6/7 trips to expert camps and testing in Israel)

Sport Fighting Won't Teach You Self Defense - Breaking Muscle The last time I wrote about training for real-world self-defense, I upset a few martial arts practitioners. But the evidence for my message is obvious: all you have to do is watch actual footage of people involved in violent conflict to see that most martial arts training doesn’t translate to real...
