CST Coach Reviews Kettlebell Coaching Certification
June 30, 2008 – 3:55 amBe More Prepared Than the Challenges You Face "The title of this post is one of the signature credo’s of Coach Scott Sonnon. And I thought of it many times this past weekend as I participated in the American Kettlebell Club certification in Toronto. You may be tempted to think that an assertion like that is relevant only to some type of competition, but it is just as important, if not more so, to the venue of learning. If you do not diligently seek out as much information as possible and try to apply it BEFORE attending an educational event, I would estimate that you limit yourself by at least 50% in the information you will be able to absorb. When you have put sufficient effort into preparation, even the things you have been doing WRONG serve as reference points to receive the information about how to do it right! And ...
Want the Modern Key to Enlightenment?
June 29, 2008 – 3:00 amOne of my most compelling students, Philip, wrote an amazing piece on modern day enlightenment pursuit. As a spiritual seeker and devotee of Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, I truly appreciate Philip's efforts at avoiding translation of foreign concepts, and rather relation of modern, endemic equivalents, to the universally diverse path of human development: the road to ongoing awakening many call enlightenment. Developing A Post-Modern Vocabulary of Enlightenment by Philip Walter For those of you keeping score at home, it has been a bit over two weeks since the last post. One post a week was my goal when I started this blog 6 months or so ago, and up until now I have surprisingly been able to keep that pace. Now, however, work has begun in earnest on my book, I’m in training for a Prasara yoga instructor certification at the end of the month, and I’m working with my cameraman Robert to ...

“Camera-Friendly Hostile Subject Control”
June 27, 2008 – 4:29 amIn this month's issue of Australia's Premier Law Enforcement Magazine, RESPONSE AUSTRALIA, one of the participants of my Force-Responsive Subject-Control (FRSC) workshops in Brisbane, Doug Nicholson - an incredible professional who is advancing the support, information sharing and communication between law enforcement personnel worldwide - published a review of his experiences with FRSC. RESPONSE is a font of wisdom, techniques, tactics, personal stories, discounts and opportunities. If you're involved in law enforcement, security or military, you NEED to subscribe to this tightly packaged juggernaut of practical data and guidance! RESPONSE AUSTRALIA MAGAZINE Issue #4 June 2008 "For years I have lamented the lack of private instruction in Australia for Police. The reasons for this are numerous, but the fact remains that if a Police Officer in Australia wants to seek advanced training or just improve his basic skill sets, then there is little to no opportunities to do so. So when Sgt. ...
FREE Webisode: Prasara Yoga Spinal Rock Be Breathed!
June 26, 2008 – 5:00 amThe "Being Breathed" Concept I developed 12 years ago based upon my work with the Russian martial arts as the first Westerner to train behind the "Iron Curtain." To "Be Breathed" rather than barely breathing forms the most basic and critical step in retraining your breathing patterns to healthy, high-performance. Breathing should be easy right? It is. We're born with practically all we need to know. We only need to mature. However, fear, trauma and anxiety interrupt that maturation process, and we learn inefficient techniques. Some can help us survive a crisis, but shave minutes off the end of our life with each inefficient breath. Others are outright death-dealers, and kill too many people each year due to aneurysm. Here is an example of "being breathed" by a very bright and educated student of mine. This mini-lesson will offer you the basics which will help you get prepared for developing and deepening your ...
5 FREE Techniques SAMBO for MMA “The Greatest Video of Decade!”
June 25, 2008 – 3:32 amIt's being called "The Most Innovative Martial Arts DVD of the Decade." Even my detractors don't deny that the material is of the highest quality. They just don't like the "marketing" which I can live with, since I know that every one of my programs over-deliver every time. Well, Century Martial Arts Industries - the World's Largest Martial Arts Supplier - just released this FREE SNEAK PEAK including FREE TECHNIQUES in what will be as critical to the ongoing evolution of MMA in this decade as Brazilian Jiujitsu was to the 1990s. No martial art in the world is as sophisticated in the manipulation of the lower body than Sambo. And with teachers like USSR Master of Sport in Sambo, and Distinguished Coach of Russia, Alexander Retuinskih, I've had the privilege of plumbing the depths of the discipline. As a USA National Sambo Coach and Champion receiving the USSR's most coveted athletic ...
Master the 3 Modes of Yoga
June 24, 2008 – 3:13 amPrasara Yoga has been exploding around the world. And with its rise to widespread awareness, we see more descriptions and amplifications. Although many people still misperceive Prasara as a style of yoga (a specific way to do things), it is a mode of yoga (a general method of expressing one's personal style.) There are as many styles of yoga on the planet as there are people... The attached article wonderfully explains Prasara yoga in distinction with Vinyasa yoga. "Vinyasa means to think and arrange postures whereas Prasara means to flow without thought." In addition, this article serves as an effective educational link between ancient tradition and modern understanding. "Like many Sanskrit words, vinyasa has several meanings. Yoga classes that emphasize flowing movements can be described as vinyasa. Yoga teachers may say, "Take a vinyasa." Yoga masters may lecture about vinyasa krama. And just today I heard a fellow yoga student ask our ...
Do You Practice Authentic Tolerance?
June 22, 2008 – 2:43 pmThis following article represents all that is repulsive and vile about religious dogma. These myopic dogmatists give religion a horrible image, and foster an ongoing campaign of hate throughout the world. Were it not for dogmatic beliefs, the world would be a healthier and safer place. How does the author of this article define his brand of "Witnessing"? His states his goal is to: "overturn your incorrect beliefs..." "convince you that your beliefs are wrong..." "and get you to believe what I want you to believe." If you can suffer his crazed lack of logic, at the end I comment on the supposed "contradictions" the author indicts. If the author would present debates about beliefs, I would not comment, since beliefs are not based in logic. Let me establish on the front end that by the authors definitions, I am a "New Ager" (especially he defines those who are yoga and martial art teachers as ...
