Gravity

As Marty McFly said in the movie Back to the Future..."That's Heavy!"
That was my reaction when reaching an epiphany of sorts during my MovNat training last night that relates to movement in general - physically and in life!

Never the same...

While teaching/coaching the other day, my "clients" and I were discussing growth.

Lessons from a teacher: (Sijo) James DeMile

(Sijo) James DeMile is often known as "an original Bruce Lee student", a martial artist, founder of Wing Chun Do Gung-Fu & DeMile Defensive Tactics. He is known for his fighting ability and his insight on technique with saying things like: 

• "The best way to win a fight is to walk away and avoid it, or END IT before it begins!"
• "The fight should not last no more than 2 seconds on the high side!"
• "Doomatize the opponent!"
• "Fighting is not a social event! You do not bring a sack lunch to a fight."

But I have come to know Jim DeMile for someone more than just "Sijo". Though Sijo might mean Founder, I call him "Sijo" as an affectionate way to call him my mentor, a father figure, and most importantly My FRIEND. What you're about to read are a few of his "sayings", or better yet...words of wisdom - as he said or wrote them, but sayings that have little to do with him as a Martial Artist. Instead they have to do with him as a Friend helping a less experienced friend get a better grasp of how to deal with life. Here is insight into not "Sijo" DeMile the martial artist, but rather Jim DeMile, a regular human being...a GREAT friend!
