FEAR was the first article I ever wrote and was published in a National magazine. Here it is reprinted.

Stay Safe, Take Classes.

Chapter One First came the rat. It was a big black, horrible bastard that just jumped out of the wall and ran at me.

The Will to Win How we become successful in our chosen field

Simon on his first book, “When Geoff Thompson first asked me to write a book about my life, my troubles, poor mental health, abuse, but also the happy times, Julie and the kids, achieving my first Black Belt and the glories that went with that, I think, when it came to choosing the title, I became a little blindsided and went with a title that screamed Martial Arts all over it. After all, From Bullied to Black Belt was, on face value, the journey I took.

FEAR We know we don’t like it, we know we don’t want it, but on some level, we know we need it. It is telling us something must change, something isn’t right. Now this may be a lifestyle thing, or it may be some life- threatening attack. On one hand, Fear is telling us, ” Look, you need to change how you are living, you need to take stock.”  On the other it is saying, “This guy in front of you is not your friend. He does not wish you well. Get the hell out of here.”
