Notes

You gotta be there

Just a heads up. Save the weekend of July 19 - 20. I am doing a 20 hour intensive training (over two days, not 20 hours in a row). The training is about the heart of martial arts, not the physical aspects. You really need to attend because the objective of the weekend will be to get you to understand your patterns, the ones that help you attain the life of your dreams and the ones that sabotague your success.

You will also be led through exercises to discover your deep passions and…

Sorry for my recent absence

My family is going through the loss of a loved one. I have been very busy and just want everyone to know that I am very proud of you all. The threads are thoughtful and inspiring.

I hope to get back to adding my videos next week (and I have some very cool stuff I want you to have).

Keep going,

Keith Copeland

I met a very interesting guy in Alabama

I got the opportunity to meet Andy Mandell in Greensboro, Alabama. It was during our annual HERO build for those in need. I produced a video and uploaded it for you. It is under the "Videos" tab in the toolbar. You really should spend the five minutes it takes to watch it. What he is talking about is a very real form of self defense.

Enjoy!

So we do get a blog. I had not picked up on that...

Anyway, I'm back in town for a few weeks after a long and convoluted trip around the world. While I was out I had a little food poisoning and lost some weight and knocked off exercise in general, which is always the easy choice when going from hotel to hotel. So, I've landed back home and (once again) need to restart training.

I had an epiphany on the final morning of my trip that I could actually use the dumbbells in the… Continue

Sorry for my absence but I was away performing service to others

Hi everyone!

I just got back from Alabama. Every year I go to Greensboro Alabama with 50 or 60 other black belts and martial arts school owners to build houses for people who could not otherwise afford a house.

This year we also did mentoring and life coaching for several youth students who are struggling to earn their GED's. We worked on building the house, building their skills and trust and building relationships. I led a Yoga class with them on the evening of our… Continue

lhe Launch of this website is also doing well and getting great reviews and feedback. I have already gotten some wonderful ideas that will add value and interest. I want to hear from you about what would… Continue

Welcome to our home!

We are excited to launch our new site!

It is designed to create a space to discuss the side of martial arts that is usually given only a nod to (in my opinion). There are a lot of discussion of techniques, combat styles, defense scenarios and other physical elements of martial arts.

All of this is good of course, but, I want to focus on what I consider the most important aspects of martial arts; How it helps grow the person inside, how it helps people find more success in… Continue
