Karate is one of the Traditional Martial Arts, that emphasizes principles of nobility, virtue, peaceful attitude, and self control, above fighting. In times of danger, the warrior comes forth, unannounced, to deal with it appropriately. It is everyone's duty to develop their inner warrior, to face that brief moment in time, when we need these skills. All people know some self defense, but, most would admit to not knowing enough. Creating a life-style that includes Defense-Art training, no matter what age you are, will help to enrich your life. The process of self analysis, that is a natural by-product, will help to clarify what your are about, to yourself, and to the world. Martial Arts are more than just sports, they can be many things, including a way of life, for health, and safety. I encourage everyone to train, in what ever style is available to them. Try to analyze your needs, and your desires, and then start visiting dojos(Martial Arts schools), to check out their style, or styles. There are two types of Martial Arts systems, Military style, and Family style. Not all people flourish in a Military style setting, but most people can be successful in a Family style system, including elderly, and handicapped. All systems will require that you make a serious effort. If you make the effort, you will succeed. The end result will be a healthy life-style, that will keep you young and flexible.

The REALMVISION Web Awards are released in August and are designed to recognize people with exceptional talent, and leadership abilities. These are people who choose to be part of furthering the talents of others. Each category is unique, and the list is growing. Check back for video features, of this year's award recipients.

Coming soon.....Live video lessons.....learn from Grandmaster Douglas McLeod......Founder of the Yen Ching Tao (Everchanging Way) Kenpo Karate System, and the Street Smart System of Self Defense. Grandmaster McLeod will educate and inform students, in addition to empowering them to do consistently better. He will help you set your initial goals, and guide you through the complex world of Self Defense. You can read several chapters of his new book "Fight Back America". We all need to keep some form of physical exercise as a hobby......just to balance our lives. Incorporating Martial Arts or Self Defense training into your life, will help you deal with fear, and indecision. It will help you realize you goals, and look for new ones.

In the Old West, a family had to learn to work as a unit, in mutual protection, of family, livestock, and land. How many people utilize that extra set of eyes, that your child has? When the whole family trains, there is a definite transformation in the family unit. Self Defense should be taught in every school in our country. Every boy and girl should learn the fundamentals of Self Defense, and practice it after school, either in a dojo, or in a after-school program. And then practice it, helping mom when she is backing out of the driveway. Or when a stranger approaches the car from a hidden angle. " Mom, their is a man over there, by the car." Children notice everything, take advantage of it. Help them to learn, how to help you, not hinder you, when you are out driving in the car, or walking in the park, talking on the phone. One of the most powerful gifts, you can give a child, is the knowledge of Self Defense. Check out www.usneed.com for more information, on keeping you and your family safe.

We are slowly getting things together.......so check back, and cultivate your awareness, pay attention to your environment, and be healthy......Aloha.
