Happy Earth Day Special (complimentary gift)


Today is Earth Day. While I don't pretend to know a lot about the inner workings of our planet, I do know that the healthier us humans are, and the more self-esteem we have, the better we act towards our environment and each other. Both fitness and self-defense training offers these benefits.


It is in this spirit that I am offering you a complimentary individualized fitness or self-defense routine to help you reach your goals. Additionally, we can meet online to do the routine, so you know exactly how to do it correctly. You can even save it to repeat it and use it indefinitely.


What's in it for me?

Rest assured, there are no strings attached and you will not be asked to buy anything to receive this training. Taking care of our health creates positive relationships with ourselves and our fellow humans. I believe there's no greater calling other than to help others, its why I do this.


Carl Sagan says it best. Take a read below:


Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.


The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.


Our posturing's, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.


The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.


It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
