Focus for the week (nature)
This week, get out and spend time in whatever is as close to the wilderness as you can get. Even if that just means standing on your balcony in the sunshine. Ocean would be better. Or forest. If you can’t find time this week then plan a camping trip. Those who lose touch with nature seem sad to me. We are solar panels and should absorb sunshine on as much of the surface of our bare skin as possible. Go out and get naked in the sun. ☀️

Hi, My dad was my first martial arts teacher. I started training in Tae Kwon Do at the age of 6. (47 now) I am a life long martial artist and have always enjoyed teaching. 5th dan black belt in Tae Kwon Do under my dad Black belt in Kickboxing under Duke Roufus (RIP 🙏❤️) Black belt in Modern Arnis under Brian Zawilinski 2nd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Professor Ryan Fiorenzi I focus most of my training now on Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Thanks to Professor @Chris Burns and Professor @Jason Trudeau I now spend my time trying to learn from the perspective of Master Rickson Gracie. This has led me to some private lessons with Professor @James Driskill and this group. I teach at A2 Jiu Jitsu in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
