The Martial Artist’s Mindset
In last week’s video where we went in-depth about our Core Values, I posed the following question:

What characteristics do YOU think make
up the Martial Artist’s Mindset?

Here’s a list of just some of the answers posted:
- Humility
- Discipline
- Patience
- Desire
- Persistence
- Determination
- Compassion
- Mindfulness
- Focus
- Humble
- Playful
- Poise
- Perseverance
- Inner drive
- Willingness to help your training partners
- Openness to learn
- Striving to be better
- Don’t shy away from hard work
- Commitment
- And more!
While many shared different traits, there was a common theme amongst them all and you can clearly pick it out from the list above.

The reason why I asked this question in the first place was because it relates to the PURPOSE that I’ve chosen for my business, which is: To help martial artists get in top shape.

And in the video, I stated that I don’t want to just help people who practice martial arts, but also those that adopt the martial artist’s mindset and the list above is exactly why.

Imagine what it’s like as a Coach to work with
someone who embodies even just a few
characteristics from the list above?

Better yet, imagine that person’s results in fitness and life!

Could be something like this (still one of my favourite videos):

In 2004, I started as a Personal Trainer at a local gym and like any local gym, my clients were all your typical person who wants to lose some weight but doesn’t particularly care for exercise.

Once I started training MMA fighters in 2006, the difference in attitude between the regular peeps and the martial artists was clear and I got so much more joy and fulfillment out of working with the fighters that I slowly transitioned to working with them full time.

So now, I’ve determined that I will only work with those that either have this mindset or are willing to adopt it, because then, I can be at my best and I can help them become their best.

The characteristics I’ve chosen that embody the Martial Artist’s Mindset are the following:
- Being humbly confident
- Being a student (coachable and always learning and progressing)
- Embracing long-term goals
- Being consistent
- Taking pride in doing things right
- Releasing tension
At some point in the future, I’ll go in more depth into my thoughts on each of these, but for the most part, I feel they’re self-explanatory.

This list isn’t better or worse than the list above, it’s just the list of characteristics that I’ve found the best people to work with exhibit.

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve shared
the direction I’m headed and who I want
to come along with me on this journey…

I’m going to take the next couple of weeks off from writing blog posts or emails (I’ll still be hanging out on FB once in a while) to focus on ensuring everything is on point for my upcoming product launch.

That means you’ll be getting a little break from me. 😉

I want to leave you with one little tip that’s really helped me keep focused on what’s truly important to me: minimize the amount of input coming in to your brain.

And here are 3 of the ways I’m doing it:

1) Stop reading the news.

Nothing important really happens and if it did, you’d hear about it.

2) Unsubscribe from 90% of email newsletters.

I now receive only 3 newsletters and it’s actually enjoyable to be able to go into my Inbox and I don’t end up where OTHERS want me to go. [Yes, that includes my newsletter if it doesn’t resonate]

3) Stop surfing the web (or channel surfing) randomly.

When I’m not conscious of it, I’m guilty of the following loop: TSN.ca, thestar.com, cagepotato.com, mmafighting.com, my FB page, lather, rinse, repeat.

Now, I do my best to choose what I want to read when I want to read it and it’s freed my mind up to be more productive and creative.

The web (and to a lesser extent, TV) is designed to trap you and guide you along all sorts of tangents and this is a way your brain’s connections go haywire.

Bruce Lee said:

When you browse the web mindlessly, you’re practicing 10,000 kicks once.

But when you direct your focus to what YOU want, you’re building that muscle and those neurological connections to GET WHAT YOU WANT.

Now, I’d love to hear your thoughts about the Martial Artist’s Mindset or the tip I shared to minimize the input below and we’ll talk in a couple of weeks. 😀

Getting to the CORE

This is a picture of a sunset at my cottage.

I’ve used it as the lead-in to this blog post because the sun is about to set on one chapter of my life.

[I’m a poet and don’t even know it. Har har har.]

Now, some of you reading this may already know what’s going on…

Others, may not.

Either way, the goings on that I’m about to reveal have inspired my thinking over the last while and now, I’m at a point where I feel sharing these thoughts with you, my loyal subscribers, is prudent.

You see, I’m a firm believer in the idea of buying the person before the product or idea.

I use this in many different scenarios in my life.

For example, when I’m deciding which contractor to go with to do some work on my house.

I’ll ask questions that having nothing to do with the work, just to get a handle on what this person is all about.

If I feel the person’s got good character, I’ll choose them over others who may have a better price or a slicker presentation.

This is a change from what I used to do, which was always go for the best deal, but since the change, my outcomes have improved, so I’m going to continue with this approach.

Anyway, this is why I’m sharing what I’m about to share with you – so you can understand me as a person and where I’m coming from, because where I’m coming from is about to change.

Big time.

So here it is:

I’m going to be a DAD

Yep, very soon, my wife will give birth to Baby Wong (gender unknown) and a totally new chapter of my life is about to begin.

We decided the time was right, not to mention the fact that we’ve got to respect the biological clock, so we decided to go for it and BLAMMO – egg fertilized.

My wife is due mid to late August, so there’s only a few short weeks until life as I know it will change for good.

Not much changed the first 4 months or so of the pregnancy…

However, since then, my perspective been shifting.

It’s probably due to the questions I’ve been asking myself like, “How can I be a good dad?” and “What are the most important things I can do to ensure my child has a good character?”

These questions have forced me to take a hard
look at my own approach to life and
I’ve come to some BIG realizations…

One is that I’ve always been a very individualistic dude.

That’s probably why I love MMA and martial arts so much.

It’s probably why I could only last working for someone else for 4 months before starting out on my own as an entrepreneur when I graduated from university.

It’s also probably a source of much of the conflict that’s happened over the years in my relationship with my wife (she always told me this, I just never listened).

But with Baby Wong on the way, my mindset has been shifting to being more other-centric.

Good thing, because raising a child while trying to live your own life is a recipe for failure.

I’ve also been taking a deeper look at how and why I do things in all areas of my life, one of which concerns you: what I put out into the world via my business.

Like I said, I’ve been a very individualistic guy and as such, I’ve basically run my business however I wanted and have done everything myself.

Whenever I’d catch wind of something that interested me, I’d do it.

While it’s been a fun ride and I’ve been able to help a lot of people change their lives for the better (based on feedback I’ve received), my ultimate goal has always been to serve myself before serving others.

Basically, I’ve been SELFISH.

It doesn’t mean I’ve been trying to screw you over (I haven’t), but I have to be honest and say that I have been looking out for myself first.

And while I think it’s important to follow the “oxygen-mask principle” (put your own oxygen mask on first when your plane is going down before trying to assist others), I’ve come to the realization that my business and what I put out to the world is not meant to serve me, but to serve YOU.

So I’m revamping my approach to my business and creating it based on how I think it’ll best serve YOU.

To do this, I’ve been working through a book called Traction by Gino Wickman, and one of the things that’s important to be clear on is the Purpose and Core Values from which my business operates.

It all goes back to character – these are the points that make up the character of my business and from which all decisions are made.

I’m making them known to you because I want you to make sure they resonate with you, as I feel that’s the way to a successful long-term relationship.

So here they are, the Purpose and Core Values from which my business (Mixed Martial Media Inc.) operates:

Our Purpose

To help martial artists get in top shape

Our Core Values

1. Deliver a Simplified Scientific Approach
2. Operate with Integrity (Stay True To Our Word)
3. Deliver Measurable Results
4. It’s a Team Effort
5. Have Fun

The next step in this process that Wickman teaches is to communicate exactly what these points mean in more depth.

That’s my plan for the next post, which I’d like to do via video so you can see how authentic all this really is.

But before then, I’d like to hear YOUR thoughts.

It’s taken a lot for me to share this and I’ve been as transparent as I can be because like I said, this is a new chapter in my life and I if you choose to continue this journey with me, I want you to know exactly where I’m coming from.

So what do you think about all of this?

Does it sound weird?

Does it sound exciting?

Does it make you think of doing something similar in your own life, whether it be to your business, how you operate at work, or how you operate in your life in general?

I’d love to hear your thoughts so please share them below.

Oh, and if you’ve got any prudent advice for a Dad-to-be, I’m all ears.

Meet Chazz. This is his story.

Chazz is one of my powerDOJO Kyoudai.

He’s been a member for a long time now.

One of the things I encourage the Kyoudai do is participate in the Forum – share their training logs, talk about their successes and get help to deal with obstacles and challenges in their lives, not just fitness.

That’s how we know that Chazz is a Firefighter.

You know, those guys that signed up to run into burning buildings if there are people inside to carry them out to safety.

They’re the same ripped guys that put out those calendars every year.

Well, he recently posted why he’s been a little inactive in the powerDOJO Forum (we call it the MASTERMIND) lately, and he’s got a damn good reason.

I’m not going to talk much about it and instead, share what he wrote, but I will say this…

It’s clear why he’s chosen to be a firefighter as his career, his story shows just how self-less he is and how much he cares for others.

I’ve posted it without edits – please read it in its entirety and feel free to respond to him in the Comments below with any ideas about how he can achieve his goal.

– Eric

P.S. Keep your eyes open for more about this great story.

ENTER CHAZZ

So hopefully you’ve all noticed a drop off in my comment participation lately. My workouts haven’t been as consistent either; I’d like to think when I get in the gym I still get it in though. So I vaguely hinted in one of my WO trackers that I was working on something. So let me go ahead and throw it out there.

About the beginning of the summer I had a friend from my fire recruit class pass away.

He was in a motorcycle accident which
caused the car to rollover onto him,
and he was declared on scene.

Since then I spent alot of time helping his family where I could. Personally what really chapped my ass was his father wasn’t around during his youth. He was pretty much raised by his mother. So when he died he had a child who was just about to turn one. He had all the plans in the world for his son. He was going to get married to his son’s mother, he was building the life for his kid that he never had. Ask @Eric who is currently feeling all those emotions to the fullest…all other life accomplishments aside…that’s what life is all about right there. Now he’s gone.

In the process of caring for my brother’s family, the way I know he would have done for mine, this constantly rang through my mind. So I decided I wanted to do everything in my power to help fulfill his dream in his absence. I talked it out with my wife and she agreed it was worth pursuing. So I began to come up with how to manifest this dream. I took my rough idea to the family and his closest advisers and got the green light to begin working on it.

Enough suspense…here’s my idea.

I am trying to create an annual event to help raise
money for Ethan; the son of Garrett Greene…
recently deceased firefighter, father, and friend.

I knew I wanted it to be something physical because I wanted the participation of my other brothers in the department. Typically that would be a 5k or something like that. However if there is one thing I recall from the academy neither Garret nor myself were “runners.” In fact I’m pretty sure we both had a particular disdain for running. Plus, a 5k attracts a certain type of athlete that probably already had plans to do a 5k every year. I want to draw a much bigger crowd and much more diverse kind of athlete. So my friend from high school just recently opened a crossfit gym called Grounded Crossfit. So I talked it over with him, and bam I have my event. I’m attempting to put on a Crossfit tournament next year. I think I’m gonna call it either The G2 Gauntlet or Greenes Gauntlet. (G2 is for Garret Greene)

I want a couple different divisions competing. Something along the lines of pro, amateur, and a kids division. The pro would be like hardcore crossfitters who train year round. The amateur would be your athletic breed of firefighters (and anyone really who isn’t 100% COMFORTABLE with just jumping into a crossfit event), and the kids would complete the family environment that I want to promote; and hopefully draw a much bigger “cheering” section of people who drop $5 bucks just to get in the door and see there husband, wife, and or kids get all hulk for a day.

I also got the go ahead from the gym owners to throw a big ass barbeque at the end of the competition to end the day. They also agreed to host the event at their gym, and create the program to compete with. So I’m scheduled to have a followup meeting with the family soon, and thus far I have an event, a place, trainers who specialize in crossfit and kids development, and essentially a rough plan to manifest the whole thing. Ideally for the future I would like a few things to come of this. First and foremost I would like this to actually be an annual event, second I would like the money from this event to at a minimum replace the lost income of Ethan’s father, at a maximum I would love nothing more than to put Ethan through college, and finally somewhere down the road I would like to create a foundation that would offer the same opportunity to the children of other fallen firefighters.

Thus far the gravity of my dream has been weighing on me. So my goal has been to think about it everyday, and do something to work towards it every day. As a matter of fact in the next couple days I plan on taking my 9 year old son in to the gym, and letting him do a little work with the trainers so hopefully he can start brain storming on the kids division. My goal is not to frighten people, but instead create a healthy competitive environment for all. It’s not so much about who wins, but how we all compete. So essentially that’s my “fight” that I’m training for. Some of you may have noticed the one or two crossfit workout’s I put in my tracker now you know why.

So hopefully that answers the question posted in my title…and maybe a few more for those who actually wondered. So now that it’s out there in the forumn I’d like to ask all my brothers fro any help, advise, etc that you have to give. I do mean any!

Between logistics, fundraising, my own personal athletic preparation, marketing, the list goes on….

I know I am overwhelmed and am just trying to take it step by step so my mind, body, and soul stays calm.

I know I can do this…

I’m not entirely sure how yet. I will get there, but the more mentors I have in the process the more this process will feel like a trial of self character and not trail and error. Thanks for listening, and please feel free to reach out if you think you can support me at all in this. I will need it.

==============================

Hey, Eric again…

I just wanted to encourage you to share any ideas you may have to help Chazz out, or if you’re in the Burtonsville, Maryland area, connect with him by leaving your email in the Comments below.

Thanks for listening!

How to Train Champions

If you’re like me, as a Coach, you get totally jazzed with the idea of training a champ…

Perhaps you’ve already done it.

If so, KUDOS to you.

I know how much time and effort goes into working with high-level athletes and it’s no joke.

I’ve had the privilege of helping Jeff Joslin win a Canadian MMA title and make his UFC debut, Claude Patrick make his UFC debut and win a few fights on the big stage, Amanda Galle win multiple amateur boxing titles and just recently, an athlete I train online named Cy Landry just won the Renaissance MMA flyweight title.

When working with high level athletes, everything else can easily get pushed to the side – your friends, your relationships, your hobbies, your business – everything.

But I can tell you, I wouldn’t trade any of those memories (and more to come) for anything.

Now, if you haven’t yet done it but you still want to feel the pride that goes into seeing one of your athletes become a champ, it boils down to 2 things:

1) Finding the right athlete
2) Training them the right way

Obviously there’s a lot more to it than that but that is the high-level overview.

Do you have any athletes that you think has the potential to reach win at a high level?

Then that’s amazing, because now, it’s just about focusing on Step #2.

And if you can’t identify anyone at this very moment, you might as well focus on Step #2 as well, to be prepared when the student does find his way to you.

The saying, “When the student is ready, the
teacher will appear,” also works in reverse:

“When the teacher is ready, the student will appear.”

So if you want to get ready for that prized student, I suggest following in the tracks of someone who has done what you want to do.

You can totally figure it out on your own, but you might as well learn from the experience of others, which will accelerate your progress.

If this has piqued your interest, then I suggest you check out this FREE training where legendary MMA/Kickboxing Coach Duke Roufus shares some of his “tricks of the trade” that will help you become a more effective coach, while growing your school at the same time.

Eric

P.S. If you’re serious about growing your school, then I’m also going to be telling you about a simple strategy that I shared with a friend of mine who runs a school that increased his Introductory Lesson –> Paid Member conversion rate by 48% (tracked over 50 Intro Lessons).

Stay tuned for that but for now, check out the training Duke Roufus has for you here.

Submitting Bigger Opponents in BJJ

Guest Article by BJJ Black Belt Dan Faggella

It’s safe to say that submitting a larger opponent is not the easiest task in the world. With the attribute of strength probably not being on your side in this situation, you have to rely on other things. There is definitely a certain philosophy when it comes to submitting giants.

The overall and very broad philosophy is this: Play to your strengths, prey on their weaknesses, and use a lot of you against the little parts of them. Sounds simple, but there’s a bit more to it. In order to play to your strengths, you have to figure out what your specific strengths are against that specific opponent. For example, as mentioned earlier, you probably are not going to be able to rely on strength to get your submission. You’re going to want to use speed, mobility, and initiative instead.

Whether it’s how fast you can slap the submission on, or how fast you can get on the opponent’s back, or how fast you can drop back for the leg lock, you must do everything faster than your opponent if he is stronger than you, and you must do it with initiative.

Another strength that you will have to tap into is obviously your technique. Like they always say, technique will always beat strength. That is, if your technique is sound. Learning what submissions work for you well against larger opponents is huge, and we will dive deeper into that subject as we progress in this chapter. Once you have figured that out, you must integrate those submissions into your training as much as possible.

Drilling your giant killer submissions is absolutely essential to being able to hit them in a match or a real time scenario. If during your regular class training time, you go over techniques that your instructor teaches, but do not find time to drill certain techniques that directly relate to beating larger opponents, then it is absolutely essential that you find time to drill those additional techniques.

Whether it be five extra minutes after class, or an extra hour of drilling with one of your training partners, any amount is better than none. Also, you must find the positions where you are more likely to hit these submissions on the bigger guys. For example, it could prove to be very difficult to attain a submission on a larger opponent from the top half guard position. There are a lot of factors that come into play in this position.

Yes, you are on top which means you do have gravity on your side, and yes, you do have the ability to drive pressure into your opponent from the top position, but remember, the opponent still might be able to use strength to escape whatever submission you throw at him from there. For example, you could be going for an arm lock of some sort, maybe a kimura or a straight arm lock. Although you are using a two on one grip to control your opponent’s arm, who’s to say that their one arm isn’t stronger than your two from that position, even with leverage in play.

The same thing goes for side control. Even though side control is one of the most dominant positions and opens up a world of submissions for you, who is to say that those submissions will work the same against a much larger opponent, due to the strength factor.

A better position to attack with a submission against a bigger guy would be the back mount. For one, all four of your limbs are able to attack, and all four of your opponent’s limbs are facing away from you, giving you a much greater advantage for hitting a successful submission. As far as side control goes, your opponent is much more likely to be able to throw you off of them if they are larger and stronger. Letting your opponent turn into you and letting them think that they are in the process of escaping can allow you to use your speed and mobility to quickly spin behind them, exposing their back and opening the world of submissions for you.

Mobility is key, guys! I cannot stress this enough, and with submissions, this comes into play big time. Avoiding positions where you have less mobility is key as well. Instead of getting bench pressed from side control, try working from the knee-on-belly position so you can potentially spin to the back or capture an arm for the armbar.

Holding a bigger and stronger opponent down will be difficult, but being mobile and having the ability to transition quickly when they try to use their strength against you will help you avoid tough situations and will put you in advantageous spots.

Even the mount position can be a tricky one to hit a successful submission from. Though it’s clearly a superior position and you do have gravity on your side, you still have the possibility of being thrown off the top by a larger opponent, just like from the top half guard or side control.

Generally, the best positions to go for submissions on larger opponents are the back mount, and any leg lock orientation as well. Being able to get to these positions faster than your opponent is a large factor in getting the submission. Another huge factor in getting the tap on a larger opponent is the concept of initial snugness. This is a sometimes overlooked concept in the realm of getting the submission, but it is very essential if you are looking to tap bigger guys.

For example, let’s say you throw on a straight ankle lock on a much larger opponent. Even though you threw it on your opponent’s foot fairly quickly and got a semi decent grip and snugness on the ankle, they still are able to kick through it and avoid tapping out. Now let’s say for example again, that you throw on the same exact straight ankle lock, this time with very good initial snugness on the ankle, leaving no space for your larger opponent to turn his knee up or kick his foot through. The chances of you getting the tap in the second scenario are far greater than you getting the tap in the first scenario, based solely on the concept of initial snugness.

This initial snugness is developed through consistent and conscious drilling of these submissions. If you do have certain submissions that you are drilling, it’s important to make sure that with each rep, you are getting perfect initial snugness every time. This will ensure that each time you go for a submission, the likelihood of you finishing it is much higher.

New Exercise to Unlock Your Hips

DISSOCIATION is not just what happens when you follow Joe Rogan’s advice and take Peyote, it’s a powerful concept that most guys need to train for better movement.

Often because of repetitive movements from sports we play or exercises we do, certain muscles/movements can get hard-wired together so that whenever one muscle fires or one movement happens, the associated muscle/movement happens.

A truly intelligent body is one where the correct muscles fire and the rest of your muscles relax to allow your body to move the way it should.

EXAMPLE: with the hip flexion movement, because of an excess of situps/crunches performed incorrectly, hip flexion always comes along with lumbar flexion.

These movements are hard-wired so that every time you flex your hips, your lumbar spine flexes too.

This is TERRIBLE for your low back and is a dysfunctional movement pattern.

We’ve got to teach our bodies to flex our hips while keeping our lumbar spine in neutral.

And one way we can do that is by doing the Hanging 1-Leg Raise:

This is a key concept integrated into the Hip Flexibility Solution program and one reason why it works so well (and so quickly)…

I recently emailed my customers asking for a bit of feedback and was overwhelmed when received 18 emails back sharing some amazing results. Here’s a sample of 2 of my favourites:

“Eric,

First, I’d like to thank you for the program and for the constant updates and support!! It’s nice to have someone who genuinely cares about his clients and their goals. I have been following a 5×5 program since February 2013 in an effort to get stronger as I considered myself to be “weak”! The goal I set almost a year ago was to squat 225 Lbs 5 sets at 5 reps in good form!! For the first few months I made great gains, however 185 Lbs seemed to be my plateau. I would either suffer an injury or drop weight and work back up!

I never attributed my struggle to my lack of flexibility, I’d do a quick warm up and a little “stretching” (ie Trying to touch my toes) hahaha if I could see myself now. After performing the routines the parking break was released and I busted through that 185 barrier!!

Today is a special day because today I am throwing 4 plates on the bar and I will achieve my goal!! Just because I will accomplish this elusive goal I’m not gonna stop, 225 is a stepping stone to future progress and I owe you a ton of gratitude for the help!! Your advice has not only helped me in the weight room but has also encouraged me in life to go out and achieve those goals I previously thought unattainable!! Thanks again and I’ll let you know how today’s workout goes!

Stay Loose,
Ryan”

PERFORMANCE is a key reason why I created this program – no point in unlocking your hips to sit around all day, which is why I love feedback like Ryan’s, as well as this one:

“Hi Eric

The HFS is going well,I’ve been doing it for about 7 weeks now and it has helped my flexibility with Muay Thai training, in fact last Friday night a few people were shocked at how low I was able to stretch when doing the splits compared to how I used to be.

It’s an awesome program and you should be very proud of yourself for creating it.

Kind Regards,
Lee Pentith”

LOVE IT!

Thanks Ryan and Lee and everyone else who has shared their feedback with me.

You may already know the back story about me creating the HFS program, but to make a long story short, I couldn’t kick worth shit and I really wanted to and none of the conventional advice I followed worked, so I had to dig deep and experiment and finally came up with something that did work.

HFS is a by-product of my personal quest to be able to throw a decent head kick.

So if you’d like to reap the rewards of looser hips, get started on the Hip Flexibility Solution today.

nutrition-itsu Part 4: Micronutrients
In Part 4, we’re going to talk about the MICRONUTRIENTS, which include:

[green_plus_2_list width=”100%”]
- Vitamins
- Minerals
- Phytonutrients
- Bacteria (probioitics)
- Enzymes
- Fats (while it’s a macronutrient, I’ve included it here to discuss the different types)[/green_plus_2_list]
Here are some links to the different supplements I talked about:

Probiotics: BioTrust | Garden of Life

Digestive Enzymes: BioTrust | Garden of Life

NOTE: I make a referral commission from BioTrust, but not the Garden of Life stuff. With respect to any supplements I take including these, fish oil and protein powders, I always switch brands to avoid becoming intolerant to a brand, which can happen over time, which is why I typically always recommend 2 or 3 different brand names.
