Jade Mountain Martial Arts - Cinco Ranch

Although I've been told that I'm a decent writer, today was a day that defies my attempts to describe. Today marked the closing of Jade Mountain Martial Arts, and the end of my full-time teaching career. It was a big deal for me. This picture isn't even half of the people who came through to say hello and tell me that Jade Mountain has meant something to them. So many more have contacted me to say they wish they could have come.

Today, I saw faces I haven't seen in many years. Youngsters I taught years ago now tower over me as full-grown adults—but I still see the same smiles and the same eyes I remember from their days on the green mat. Today, I heard stories of lessons learned and achievements unlocked, and more importantly, that all those memories are happily carried in people's hearts to this day. I was overwhelmed by all the wonderful, kind things people said about what JMMA meant to them. There were hugs, a few tears, and many laughs as the memories flowed. It was such a wonderful gift.

I'm profoundly grateful to everyone who came by, called, and messaged me. If all those kind words are any indication, then I achieved the goal I set for myself when I was just a wide-eyed kid with big dreams: I wanted to help people find confidence and strength, and learn to believe in themselves. These last 22 years were well-spent, I think.

Thank you all, my friends, for your support over the years. It's meant more than you'll ever know. Now, on to the next chapter!

(If you came today and took pictures, please post them and tag me! I'd love to see them. 😊)

All students—past and present—are warmly invited to stop by
and say hello!

Exercising has lots of benefits, and contrary to what some people believe, you don't have to spend all day in the gym to enjoy the process. Even something as simple as adding a brisk walk to your daily routine will help you mentally and physically. Spend some time exercising every day and watch your life improve!

I started using Kettlebells over a decade ago because they're effective, versatile, and all-around awesome for getting in shape! Many workouts only require a single kettlebell, so you don't have to have a bunch of them around.

My students asked if there was a book that could help them train, so I finally wrote one! I explained the fundamentals of each kettlebell exercise, included step-by-step instructions, and even added links to exclusive YouTube videos that demonstrate everything.

If you're interested in getting in shape with kettlebells, this book is for YOU! You can find it on Amazon...

We all have the power to decide what kind of person we want to be. Life throws all kinds of challenges our way, and times can be tough. Even so, we can choose how we look at things, and what kind of attitude we have as we approach those challenges. Striving to be the best version of ourselves is a way to take control of our own lives, and in so doing, make our lives better. 😊
