Life Update: Hip Injury, Martial Arts Pause & My Guitar Journey

This is a real update on where I’m at right now.

After over three decades of martial arts training, I’ve had to make a difficult decision. With my right hip already replaced and now issues starting in my left hip, I need to step back from training for the foreseeable future and focus on long-term health.

At the same time, I’ve been putting my energy into something new that I genuinely enjoy: building and playing guitars.

What started as curiosity quickly turned into a real passion. I’ve been assembling, setting up, and refining guitars, and I’m now starting to sell some of my builds.

This channel may start shifting in that direction, but I’m still figuring that out. Let me know what you think about the transition and whether you think I should change the name of the channel or keep it as is.

Appreciate everyone who’s been following the journey so far. This isn’t the end of anything, just a shift in direction.

It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace.

To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol of strength. To us, he was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, an incredible brother, and the heart of our family.

He lived his life with faith, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the people he loved. Through his work, discipline, and kindness, he inspired millions around the world and left a lasting impact on so many lives.

While our hearts are broken, we are deeply grateful for the life he lived and for the unforgettable moments we were blessed to share with him. The love and support he received from fans around the world meant so much to him, and our family is truly thankful for it. To him, you were not just fans, you were his friends.

We know many of you had heard about his recent hospitalization, and we are truly grateful for the prayers and support you sent his way.

As we grieve this loss, we kindly ask for privacy for our family during this time.
