Chiron: Just a Few Thoughts
http://chirontraining.blogspot.com/2015/03/just-few-thoughts.html
The Dream is damned and Dreamer too if Dreaming's all that Dreamers do. Thursday, March 12, 2015. Just a Few Thoughts. It looks like we might be on business stuff for a bit. And there will be some teaching stuff, too. This will be kind of random. I may not publish it (I already have several posts written that I'll never publish- some too dark, some too personal). I may take each paragraph and expand it into a post. I don't know yet. And it has the effect of a self-fulfilling prophecy because once the edi...

Chiron: March 2015
http://chirontraining.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
The Dream is damned and Dreamer too if Dreaming's all that Dreamers do. Tuesday, March 17, 2015. Maija asked the right question. Always best to define your terms. I think "strong" and 'weak" are false sorts, and forgive me for not being clear. But in the end, it is about ability to affect the world and, at least equally and maybe more: an ability to have choice in how much the world affects you. And, conversely, if you are not striving to be better, you have accepted entropy and you are weak. Doesn't...

Chiron: More Business Stuff
http://chirontraining.blogspot.com/2015/03/more-business-stuff.html
The Dream is damned and Dreamer too if Dreaming's all that Dreamers do. Monday, March 09, 2015. The last post hit some people a little hard. Got some conversations going in my e-mail and on facebook. So a little more thinking out loud here. If you came up through the traditional Japanese arts as I did, you were probably pounded with the antipathy between the samurai class and the merchant class. Are you from that culture or that era? Caught in this belief, many of the best fighters and teachers deliberat...

Krav Maga voor 60 plussers. Over/ A propos de. Krav Maga Sint-Agatha-Berchem/ Berchem-Ste-Agathe. Why martial arts for seniors? Why martial arts for seniors? Or, to pay lip service to being pc, why should boomers and old folks be interested in a martial art? Simple answer: reversing or slowing the effects of age. Sorry, I can’t help with the grumpiness! Actually, exercise is a great stress reliever and mood elevator so, maybe I can grin . Effects of age exercise. As the fitness generation edges up into t...

Chiron: January 2015
http://chirontraining.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
The Dream is damned and Dreamer too if Dreaming's all that Dreamers do. Friday, January 23, 2015. Back from a no-internet writing retreat on the Oregon Coast. Did over 5000 words in a single day on the "How to Teach" manuscript that has been stuck. Feels good, the information is good. But the book itself (or, at least the conception of the book) feels like a disorganized mess. The things I want to cover:. Time in emergencies. Discretionary time, time distortion, stuff like that. Testing effectiveness, ev...

Chiron: September 2014
http://chirontraining.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
The Dream is damned and Dreamer too if Dreaming's all that Dreamers do. Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Underneath it all, there is a key thought that might be immensely powerful, but I don't think the author even noticed. Second piece of the thought, stemming from a conversation with Marc MacYoung and touching on the worlds of politics and self defense, on Rotherham and gun control and a bureaucracy completely out of control. That's voodoo. Don't get me wrong, some people are making a hell of a living ...

Chiron: May 2014
http://chirontraining.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
The Dream is damned and Dreamer too if Dreaming's all that Dreamers do. Thursday, May 22, 2014. As a wise friend likes to point out, we are all teachers. But I hate being a teacher. The teacher/student relationship is incredibly toxic for self-defense. And it is incredibly limited and limiting for any real growth or deep internal work. And so spending six hours a week with an authority figure, doing what he wants in training, may be the exact opposite of the internal training a student needs. Civilian sc...

The Dream is damned and Dreamer too if Dreaming's all that Dreamers do. Sunday, April 19, 2015. Justwow. Off a plane, home for 26 hours, on the road, home for twelve hours and on a plane, then home for less than nine and on a plane again. And something is happening to my internal wiring, because (so far) I don't appear to be burning out on people. This is more exhilarating than exhausting. We'll see if that keeps up. So let's make this quick. Power does have the effect of making other people who want to ...

Chiron: June 2014
http://chirontraining.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
The Dream is damned and Dreamer too if Dreaming's all that Dreamers do. Sunday, June 15, 2014. Just trying to clear up some language here. There are three very different things that tend to get called scenario training. Maybe more, but I can only think of three right now. They have almost nothing in common. They all have some value. They all have some weaknesses and problems. The first I call "situationals." These are the short 'what if' questions. What if you're attacked at a urinal? Full-blown scenario...

Chiron: Convergence
http://chirontraining.blogspot.com/2015/05/convergence.html
The Dream is damned and Dreamer too if Dreaming's all that Dreamers do. Thursday, May 21, 2015. Philosophy. Nothing about survival or self-protection or self-defense or whatever you want to call it is difficult or unnatural. This is exactly the problem we were evolved to solve. Not being a victim is part of our deepest wiring. Mind, body and spirit have all the tools. This is not about forging warriors, this is about rehabilitating predators. And how long does it take to master that? Rephrase. It's n...
