Black Belt Goal

My 2 year goal to attain 1 of the 101 HaganaH BlackBelts in the world

Well one and half years of hard work have really paid off. Last Thursday – Sunday I went through a very intensive HaganaH Instructor Certification. Training for the last year and half at the HaganaH headquarters with Mike Lee Kanarek really paid off. I felt amazing and had a great weekend. I am also very thankful to all the other students who where just amazing.

Another special thank you goes out to Chris Kisslen who is an instructor and black belt in the system who stayed the entire event and helped us all. Obviously, I want to thank Mike Lee Kanarek for putting this whole thing together.

Amazing week – now I am on to getting better with Tactical Knife, Ground Survival and Ground Wrestling, and Tactical shooting. Along with that a weight gain of about 5 more lbs and a body fat percentage drop to 6%. Then next 6 months are going to be amazing!

I will keep you informed on my progress!

I wanted to include a new video on dedication here:

This is going to be an amazing week – this morning I headed to BB3′s to start my Large and in Charge workouts. Since last week I was destroyed from my Combat Fitness certification I came in to get started and Billy Beck III KICKED MY ASS. It has been years since squats, flys, and all the other things Billy was working me on. But it feels great I am back. I had to miss Muay Thai tonight as I am getting prepared for 4 days of Certification training and I have to get ahead with helping people on MorningCoach.com.

Tomorrow I start with my normal FIGHT class and then head back to have Mike Lee Kanarek hammer me with Combat Fitness. Then Wednesday back to BB3 for a terror Large and in Charge workout then sparring at Muay Thai Wed night. Then finally at 8AM we start the FIGHT Certification.

Going to be an amazing week, and next few weeks as I look to lose fat and gain 3-5LB’s of muscle. Eating everything in site on my diet plan LOL. I have to tell you it feels great to be alive!

What a weekend! I am still recovering from the 2 – 12 hour marathon sessions with James Cooper, Mike Lee Kanarek, John Clarke. It was mentally and physically exhausting and I am at 9% body fat.  I salute all my fellow class mates that used bands, balls, gloves, kettle bells, bars, weights, tires in ways not humanly possible.  Great job everyone.

The year and a half of training had me mentally and physically ready for what we went through.

It was a great accomplishment. I have to tell you James Cooper’s knowledge of the body and structure is amazing. His passion and training ideas where awesome. I love people with passion and he just knows how to motivate and get work done. I am looking forward to more ideas that Mr. Cooper implements into this system.

I am a testimony to this program as I have gained 20 lbs and I am now in the best shape of my life. I am confident that through this year of training I can help someone reach their fitness goals through combat fitness. What a great group of people.

Awesome weekend! Taking a break this weekend, then next week we are building muscle with Billy Beck III and I have my HaganaH Fight Cert next Thur – Sun! Been a rocking April!!! What the heck is May going to bring.

Many blessings to all!

Going into the third week with Billy Beck III as you can see from the videos it has been intense. We have been working to get my shoulder where it needs to be and as Billy says bulletproof the body. I am heading over there now, because business got in the way this AM. Then I am off to Muay Thai to work on some striking.

This weekend I have the Combat Fitness Certification with Mike Lee Kanarek, James Cooper, and John Clarke. I know this is going to be an intense 2 days so I am getting ready physically and mentally. The diet that Billy Beck III has me on is giving me tremendous energy and I know I am going to need it all for this weekend.

The gameplan this week….

Mon – BB3 workout, Muay Thai
Tue – BB3 Active rest, Haganah, Combat finess
Wed – BB3 workout, Muay Thai Sparring
Thur – BB3 Active Rest, Haganah, Combat Fitness
