How many times I have seen the news and wonder if there was anything I could have done different to prevent that situation from happening.

Most of the times I realized that it is too late for that particular person but that it doesn’t have to be for others. So here I am writing to you saying that I need you.

It is true that I want to share my knowledge and empower you so that you can reach you potential and avoid been a victim. I’m not going to teach you how to get a trophy or plaque to hang on your wall. I’m also not going to make it easy so that the color of your belt becomes a false indication of your progress and skill level.

I’m going to help you grow and feel good about yourself. I’m going to teach you how to defend yourself so that your body will react even if your mind freezes.

I’m going to teach you how to set goals and reach them. I’m going to teach you leadership and resource utilization. I’m going to help you understand wellness and improve your physical conditioning.

I’m also going to bring you to a family that will support and care for you.

And above all we will have fun in the process. So as you see, I need you because tomorrow morning I will wake up and feel good that I was able to help another person in this world.
