Reality: Martial Arts Combat Parallels Life Changes

Teaching people, be it about how to live on the battlefield or in the boardroom, is about three changes: mindset, communication, habits.  When we decide to change our mindset regarding how we want to live, and then apply it to how we communicate with the world, we see real change.  It's a matter of creating habits around these new ways of living.

Ed Note: A key change resource for Matt is the process of unhooking from Time-Bound thinking [Korzybski] and Past-Negative context.
Fighters Who Fail
Matt's works show you the principles of success making and failure-stopping. Having taught tens of thousands of students over nearly two decades, Matt noticed a common theme in the failure of fighters:  their inability to get over their last fight.  Matt discovered that due to our original wiring we are programmed to rely on the past for almost everything we do.

Too often we see challenging moments as directly related to a moment like it in the past. With our experiences and life led filtering the present through the past, leading the life we want becomes nearly impossible as it's preloaded with negative probabilities.
The Prism Of The Past Often Overlooks The Opportunity For Change
With our experiences and daily life led filtering the present moments through the prism of the past, leading the life we want becomes almost impossible.  Within this personal discovery, Matt began to develop new ways of teaching fighting skills that other martial artists had not used before, and soon found it worked outside of martial arts:  it could work for anyone.  Matt first studied and interpreted the way each of our bodies moves, and minds react.

He then translated these patterns into the elements of success and failure in life itself, in each person’s unique life, to understand it and then to explain it in understandable ways to others – means known by everyone, no matter where you live in the U.S. or around the globe.
His Mission
Just as he has studied and interpreted the way each of our bodies moves and minds react on the fighting mats, Matt has broken down the elements of success and failure in life itself, in each person’s life.  He then assesses these various patterns and explains them in understandable ways, as life lessons that work globally. Self-management, life lesson patterns are at once personal and universal.

In this CBJ/088 Episode. he tells us how he learned to break down and repackage his/our life lessons.
