I teach others how to move with speed, grace, flexiblity, and power. Fan of skill-based activities, feral cats, coffee, and talking to random people in my town.
Muslim are more coordinated than Christians. (Just an observation.)
Here, is maybe why:
They are encouraged to wipe, after #2, with the left hand.
I tried it. It will take some practice.
Just went to mosk for the first time, solo. (My prayers are in English. But today, I will commit to learning how to say, "head down, keep working", in 10 foreign languages). I am no longer atheist... nor am I "lucky", Sam Harris. because the stuff going on in my professional and personal life? Pft. Full-blown superstitious, lol. Thanks for reading. Wanted to declare this at the first "miracle" at Travelodge in LG 2024. 🙏
What if every gym and martial arts school had a bright orange button on every page of its website that said:
"Not happy with this relationship? Click here to cancel anytime."
Most businesses would see that as risky.
I see it as confidence.
If a member stays because cancellation is confusing, you've retained a payment—not earned loyalty.
If a member stays because they genuinely value the coaching, the community, and the results, you've built something much more durable.
The easiest cancellation process may be one of the strongest marketing messages a fitness or martial arts business can send. It quietly says:
"We believe our service is strong enough that we don't need to trap anyone."
Ironically, making it easier to leave may make people more comfortable joining.
In martial arts, we talk about honor, integrity, and respect. Those values shouldn't stop at the dojo door. They should be reflected in every interaction—including the last one.
A member's final experience with your organization is part of your brand.
What do you think? Would making cancellation radically transparent build more trust—or simply expose weak businesses?
@NorwoodPoliceNJ Ill park my car wherever you guys tell me... but no more railroad tracks... I'll go on foot, to get my wildlife footage. Pizzi was right... "believe it or not, it's the small towns..." you guys are good frigging cops. And I miss riding my stolen bike (from me) in Bergen county.
A cop saved my life by getting me the last bed in a NJ homeless shelter of october of 2023. @NorwoodPoliceNJ detective John Amatucci, thank you for not arresting me, and thank you for riding in the ambulance for my 8th stay. Thank you Corey,Dan,and Graham. https://t.co/kLhhOsTu0m
Jordan Lips used to listen to Jocko. But he never needed to. Why? Cuz he was trained by John Wardell. Jocko, preaches 5am... Wardells' lived it, before the Parillo bench was just another gimmick. Now, when it comes to food, I can learn from Lips. He's on IG. Every post a gem.
If you have an "only-child", teach them, when people try to empathize, with the trite and banal "oh my goodness, youre an only-child, really?"... Cut them off, mid-sentence (Palangi style) with, "yes, and I am very happy about that"
Learned that one from Elliot Brown.
