Q 5. How has your work affected your personal life in regards to the relationships with those outside our field\/profession? (Professional, personal, familial, romantic, etc.)<\/strong><\/p>\nTravelling 3 times a month abroad takes its toll in a relationship, working a regular job brings a fair basic living if you work hard at it. But UC has made me a comfortable living, nothing fantastic by any means but good. I am not a materialistic man in any way, but I like to take care of the people I care about so it has been a necessary means to that end, doing something I enjoy very much.<\/p>\n
If you work around, study, immerse yourself and have had a vast experience of violence it is possible to a certain degree, to become somewhat de-sensitized to the small things most people may have a larger reaction to. I mean this in a verbal\/conversation sense.<\/p>\n
Example a bigger kid shoves your kid over in class; there is a procedure to follow with such things with teachers etc. My response to my son was to take the kid by the hair and bounce his face off his desk a couple of times, it WON\u2019T happen again son! There I proceeded to show him how. Not acceptable in \u2018normal\u2019 society apparently.<\/p>\n
A \u2018pikey\u2019 threatens to punch my 65 year old mother in law in the face, so I realize no amount of conversation with this man will bring about a suitable outcome. So I go to his house and tell the man if he ever says a single word in her direction again I will fucking end him, I offer him the opportunity to show me what he thinks he can do, he declines!<\/p>\n
A good result I think made possible from projection of pure Intent and confidence to back it up.\u00a0 No physical response needed. \u00a0But apparently NOT normal behavior. Bit of a catch 22, when you share less love of the human race than some, you get branded anti-social, yet when family or friends potentially have a confrontational problem in my circle, who do you think they think about, to bring it to a conclusion for them?<\/p>\n
I think serious people within our field that have come to their general conclusions from live experience, may be less tolerant with anti-social people and if that feels like a normal response to them, can also have a profound effect on those around you that don\u2019t think that way.<\/p>\n
Q 6. Do you have any regrets at all? If yes, which is the one that haunts you the most?<\/strong><\/p>\nYes of course I\u2019m human. Best left unsaid I think.<\/p>\n
Q 7. What are your proudest moments\/achievements in both your private and professional lives?<\/strong><\/p>\nIn personal life the birth of all my children \ud83d\ude42 in my line of work, getting to work alongside my most motivation role model, Kelly McCann at the Crucible with an Elite Unit. Was just great like Robby Williams getting to sing with Frank Sinatra<\/p>\n
Q 8. How do your friends and family outside the industry\/self defense\/martial arts world view what you do for a living? What are your thoughts and feelings about it?<\/strong><\/p>\nThey think I\u2019m an educated thug! ( : Just kidding, I don\u2019t know, they see me on YouTube and stuff but know me in a very different light. They know I\u2019m capable and caring some say I have a presence about me, but I tend to leave my work at the gate.<\/p>\n
Q 9. How often do you find yourself going against what you preach and teach, after all, we\u2019re all human, we all have our \u2018bad days\u2019 and the like; and how often are you aware of it enough in the present moment to catch yourself do you think?<\/strong><\/p>\nNot often but I realize it immediately and usually say something like \u2018do what I say, not what I do\u2019 will a smile and a laugh.<\/p>\n
Q 10. What now? Where do you go from here? Where do you see yourself in 10, 20 years both on a personal and professional level? <\/strong><\/p>\nI am doing a lot more in the US right now so I\u2019d like to explore that further. I absolutely love Australia, I have two good guys out there who you know Rich, Nox Tauakipulu in Sydney and Jimmy Armstrong in Melbourne I\u2019m there every year and the plan is to move there.<\/p>\n
