Cub scouts to survivalist.. print it out.. maybe even laminate it and always have it with you until you memorize it. Especially for individuals that head out solo. Here are a few tools that may get you out of a sticky situation and home safe.    LOOK UP^ & locate the 2 constellations: 1.) THE BIG DIPPER & 2.) CASSIOPEIA. Now, locate the North Star. Draw an imaginary line from the North Star down to Earth. Ahead of you is North. Behind you is South. ~HOW TO TIE A WICKED GOOD KNOT~ Besides the overhand knot this is the simplest knot and most useful. It’s known as the Square of Reef knot.     Starting with 2 pieces of rope(or 1), cross the ends & thread as shown in (fig.1)… Read more

“Le Parcour”

April 8, 2013

I was introduced to “Parcour” by a friend when I was a freshman in high school. An athlete that excelled in soccer and gymnastics Randy got me hooked on precision jumps, scaling walls and rooftops. At first it was just a phase, simply because all I wanted to do was play basketball. It wasn’t until I moved to New York City where I really started to practice and teach “Le Parcour” in its truest sense… Through practice and repetition we embed skill and competency so that when we encounter a difficult situation we are aware that we are able to get it done safe and sound. It can be an escape route, helping someone, or even something habitual. First of all Parcour is about being useful. It teaches people how… Read more

“Fear is all in the head” ~S.Q.

January 10, 2013

Everyone has fear, fear is good, fear protects us from harms way. Fear induces adrenaline to help us mentally and physically deal with potential danger or any nerve racking experience life throws at us. Although sometimes fear keeps us from participating, but when we realize that fear is a state of mind and only temporary we will stand toe to toe, meet it eye to eye, and change the outcome. Your mind is powered by the connection between thought and response. We have the ability to envision all sorts of possibilities and outcomes and respond with a commendable decision in less than a second. Living in the present reminds us that aligning the mind, body, and spirit cuts fear in half and later washes the other half away. Situational training… Read more

Movement and the response we get from it.

January 2, 2013

Our bodies crave movement. When we stretch or dance, our bodies adjust, realign and start to become fluid with the rhythm of influence. Our mood lifts and we feel more connected with the world around us. If you are feeling unmotivated and are ready to release, or eager to feel more alive, try moving your body. By giving your muscles a chance to do what they were created for, you will find that your body and your life benefit through the collaboration. “I’m to busy” is no excuse. Some of us remain seated at for hours every day or hurry from task to task in a robotic manner. Concentrating on only crossing items off our to-do lists, we tend to neglect all the opportunities there are to enjoy our bodies… Read more

Annually, Fall is the first checkpoint out of 3… as I continue this nomadic/aboriginal life-style, opportunity has arose as well as responsibility. Positive(+) and Negative(-) the result is more growth as a brother, friend, mentor, and most of all a man. Refining my moral and physical self throughout mother natures seasons I have recognized that the pattern of life is about becoming more rooted. Physical activity is the key to that. Wether it be pushing your limits through fearful situations or through playful ones, moving freely keeps you grounded. The more you do it, the more grounded you become. The more you are in contact with nature while connecting with your primitive state the more the melodious portrays. For the past 3 years I have plain and simple hustled.. and… Read more

Beauty & the Beast

September 27, 2012

Part of being a wellness coach, physical education instructor, trainer, etc. not only do you need to maintain good physical appearance and mobility but you also must have good HYGENE! I don’t like to label myself, I’m really a jack of all trades and want to continue learning and developing other skills outside of “fitness”. Wellness is very broad so eating healthy, moving pain free, strengthening physical and mental dullnesses are just a few of the array of “things” that create an overall well being. I’m not perfect but the people I work with seek my advice for a reason. I’m a bit of a girl when it comes to taking care of myself, and I say that with good intentions and PRIDE:) I’d like to thank my mother for… Read more

Video: Balance Practice

September 17, 2012

Balancing is a great way to wake the body up and get warm before engaging in training. When you are in the state of fear your focus becomes even more present. Warming up through balancing exercises brings mental focus and awareness towards the activity/curriculum you’re about to engage in. You have no choice but to slow down and create soft rhythm with your breath. I encourage you to integrate balance throughout your training sessions as well. For now,  enjoy this Balance video for an optimum warm up prior to “gettin after it”.
