"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

This morning I was at my gym, stretching and waiting for the womans' yoga class to get finished their class so I could practice my martial arts. And as I walk into the room to beat the **** out of the heavy bags, who do I see behind me. A big tall white guy with a shaved head, I think to myself, "Where have I seen this guy before?" So while I'm hitting the bag, he asks me what I train in, and then I recognized him from the show on the History Channel called, "The Human Weapon", for those of you who have never seen it or aren't interested in MMA, this means nothing to you. But for those of you who do, I had the opportunity to speak with him for a little while and he is a very cool dude. Apparently the filming of that show was some intense ****, he shared some crazy stories with me about his journey across the world learning various disciplines of martial arts. If I see him again I'm thinking of asking to interview him for those of you who are interested, please post any questions you have for him and I'll see what I can do!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I enjoy watching the show as entertainment...but I hope those two guys have a tongue in cheek attitude about their own abilities after two weeks of training.

Did you ask how much time they actually spend with each martial art?

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Bill's a big guy. In a real fight, he's not going to be using a lot of the finesse-arts...he's going to be taking full advantage of his size and reach.

That's got to be an interesting show to work on, though. The travel, the culture, and each martial art offers something to everyone.

What martial art if he had to choose one would be best for a streetfight?

Ask him

Which martial arts styles most impressed him and which ones most disappointed him. (personally after watching the Ninjutsu one I was disapointed, but the Cambodian and Malaysian guys I felt stepped it up more than I had inticipated)
