Coaching Prime Time

An awful lot of fantastic coaching has been coming out of Hollywood lately, have you noticed?


Whether it’s Morgan Spurlock’s feature film debut “Supersize Me”…


“Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11″ also on the big screen…


Or the immense coaching breakthrough moments in “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”…


Tears of joy and newfound confidence in “What Not to Wear”…


And ABC’s lifechanging “Extreme Makeover, Home Edition”…


It’s undeniable. Coaching has come, and found it’s place in what I consider to be some of the very best work coming out of Hollywood.


And that’s not even mentioning the more obvious “Starting Over” and other reality TV shows that revolve around the idea of changing lives for the better through Life Coaching.


Pretty darned cool stuff especially when you consider the limitless reach of television and film in our lives. Will video games with a coaching theme be next? Well if those things have to exist, I can only hope.


Question for you.


Seeing as we’re talking about movies and such.


If you were the last coach on earth, and it was up to you to save the world from its impending doom, who would be the 10 people you would do ANYTHING to coach.


In other words, if your coaching skills were the only thing between survival and certain death and destruction…what 10 people would you choose, out of all the people you know, or maybe who you currently coaching, to coach like a fiend, and save the day?


I know, it’s a pretty funny premise. And no I don’t think any studios will come a-knocking, but I do have a reason for asking.


I strongly believe that coaching has a large role to grow into, to coach those in the public eye, whether that be actors, directors, studio executives, station owners, news programmers, journalists, politicians at all levels of government.


In fact, I’ll call it a responsibility of the coaching profession going forward.


These are the people who through coaching, can be said to have a level of influence that has the potential to spread the effects of coaching to the Nth degree.


Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing small or unworthy about coaching clients who aren’t in the public arena.


But it was Archimedes who said “Give me a lever long enough and I will move the world.”

Martial Artists: Six Reasons Grabbing Someone Is Foolish!

Your child slips and suddenly he’s about to fall down some stairs.

What can you do?

“Grab him fast!”

Right?

Of course. It’s nearly reflexive, and it’s intuitively obvious.

But why would you ever want to grab onto a bad guy, unless you’re falling off a cliff and you need his footing and stability to save your life?

I realize there are some martial arts that use grabs, extensively.

Aikido, which I respect very much philosophically, is one of them. But my art, Kenpo Karate, as a general rule, sees grabbing as foolish, for these reasons:

(1) It ties up what is otherwise a perfectly good weapon. Why voluntarily disable your hand, arm, elbow, and striking ability by clenching someone’s shirt? Keeping your weapons free seems the superior choice.

(2) A bad guy grabs your shirt, so you grab his. Now, there are two stupid people in this altercation. What is this, Sumo, with clothes on?

(3) You lose blocking capability.

(4) You definitely lose overall mobility. Grabbing him is like he grabbed you. It gives him a third arm and hand, and he can more effectively pummel you with the two he has left over.

(5) It keeps you in dangerous hand range when the best place to be is out of range.

(6) A grab, unless it’s a claw to the eyes or throat does no damage.

Consider these minuses very seriously before you reach out and grab someone, especially in a fight!
