So, I decided I was going to take on a new challenge this summer and learn how to wakeboard. The first time out I tried about a dozen times and all I did was hurt my wrists and forearms because I (and the driver) didn't know what we were doing.

When we are angry, we focus almost completely on what we don't want and our thinking ... Read More
After training in the martial arts for 22 years, I've come to find that training is less and less about the physical and more about training to develop a strong mind and a strong spirit.
