Reality: Training is like auto insurance; otherwise get a big strong dog



We would all like to live in a world of peace and unconditional love but the reality of our existence through out history has been one of hostility and violence. So we must continue to evolve emotionally, physically and mentally expanding our knowledge and abilities to deal with the various threats and adverse situations we may inadvertently encounter.
The thought of being accosted or having to face the potential for physical violence is the reality of the world we live in. Kidnapping, car jacking, robbery, rape, assault, murder and domestic violence flood the news media.
The code of ethics by todays criminal is null, women, children, the elderly have all become targets, it is with this in mind that we have developed the PCW boot camp training method.
We all appreciate fitness training for a variety of reason, strength, health, body image, weight lose, conditioning, etc; But how often do consider the potential of having to face our deepest fears? What would you do? What can you do? What should you do? For training that goes beyond the physical, that taps into the base of survival tactics, that strengthens the mind, body and spirit.... PCW
We don't train with the intention of fighting, no more then purchase insurance with the notion of getting ill, or having an accident. It's a precautionary necessity. Sure we could rely on weaponry for defense, guns, pepper spray etc; but as I always make a point to tell my clients. "Unless you are prepared to walk around with them in your hand in a ready position 24-7 weapons are only as practical as your ability to get to them." It is better to prepare and strengthen your mind, body and knowledge of self defense techniques, practice under real life conditions and learn to adapt than to develop poor habits and a false sense of security around a weapon or gadget.

Are you living?

What does it mean to live life to the fullest?
Can this be achieved if we allow ourselves to be limited or restrained by antiquated social views as it pertains to any variety of judgmental or divisive thinking or attitudes toward age, skin pigment, or sexuality.
As we progress we should hope to obtain wisdom and knowledge with a higher understanding of self and the world around us. We should aspire to be and do better, lead by example and set a path for future generations.
But how can we hope to enlighten others if we are not willing to step out of the shadows cast upon us by customs and traditions, closed minds and ignorance.
It is time to step up and step out of the past and venture forward toward a new vision of the future, one that presents us with endless opportunity, creativity, friendships, love, wealth and knowledge.
Now is the time, today, this moment let us begin to unite, set goals, start on a new path and follow the vision that comes from your dreams. Live in optimism, walk in faith, obtaining knowledge of self and all things to manifest a safe and successful journey.
