Too many people who say they teach street fighting fail to address these things😡

For you beginners! The first 5 things you need to train for in a street fight. Beginners! If you’re not dealing with these simple things, you are not learning about real street fighting. .. ...

On my 47th birthday I had to do what any middle aged man must do…try doing something he probably shouldn’t. Been a while but I guess I can. Getting into it was harder then I remember, get out was easy. I just fell.

Making lasting change is hard, even harder to do it alone. Learn the skills that made me not only a Master of Kung Fu, but also enabled me to get in the best shape of my life in my 40s, raise bilingual kids when I only spoke one language 5 years ago and more! Creating consistent changes to my life is my greatest skill.
I will use my 40+ years of experience to teach you how to implement small new habits over time to achieve big changes to your life and reach your goals.

Cut finished for the year!!! Let’s talk about managing expectations, making funny faces and upcoming goals. Long post warning!
Bet y’all thought I stopped. Nope. Bonus month. Just figured y’all were tired of seeing me shirtless.
Down 62lbs. Hit a hiccup when the weather changed and I stopped being perpetually dehydrated on week 4 but I stuck to the plan and the scale started moving again.
Positives: The biggest bonus is I am back to medically ideal health. Blood pressure nice and low and just did my annual check up and all is in healthy ranges. Being lean makes everything Kungfu, parenting etc easier. And I feel like me again.
Negatives: Mornings are still rough. Really tired. My testosterone took a bit of a hit but still in normal range. A long diet can do that. Also I find it a little hard to come off the diet mentally. Body dysmorphia can be sneaky. But I will trust my plan and not let how I feel change that.
Going forward I am reintroducing 100-200 calories back into my diet and adjusting to gauge my current maintenance calories, sit there for a couple of months and then start putting on a little more muscle for the new year. Lean mini bulk I guess you could call it.
Filmed some stuff and in trying to find the time to edit. My son is up my butt most of the day making it a slow process but it will get done.
As for the funny faces: I screenshot video. The lighting is terrible so I am holding the poses and wiggling around to find a good spot in the light. It’s a pale guy problem.
Anyway! Thanks all for the support and stay tuned.

Got to see Xiaolin Alum, our good friend and the best, hardest working musician to come out of Staten Island in a generation, Richie Castellano rock out with Prog-rock legend Jon Anderson... 2 weeks ago (got to get better at posting promptly)
So proud to have be his Sifu and friend. Check out their album and of course you can see him play with Blue Oyster Cult and the Band Geek podcast/channel. Go check it out!

Hope everyone had a great first day of school! Mine did. Hope all the parents also had a great first day of peace and quiet. 😝
