People have a problem with believing in themselves. We’ll watch American Idol, Americas got talent and many other shows and think, wow is that guy/girl good. We’ll sit there and think, I know I could do that or I know I could do that better or maybe, we think, wow I could never do that! [...]

Let’s see it’s too hot to train? Some people actually use this as a reason to take off the night or the month or the summer. I’ll see the same kids outside running and playing ball or whatever. So an air conditioned class room is too hot? One excuse I love is, he or she [...] Championship thinking! What the heck is that! I’ve seen it in all types of sports. In my 30 yrs of training and competing I’ve witnessed thinking that is necessary to any winner. Notice I didn’t say competitor. Some people go to compete and some go to win. I’ve played softball for more years than I’ve [...] Billy was one of 13 children of a poor family that lived in Erie PA. Doctors told Billy that he would never be able to play football or other sports because he had hip problems and couldn’t do it. Billy wanted to learn karate but being a child in a large poor family his parents [...] “I’m not going back to prison!” The words no police officer ever wants to hear. Because this means you stand between someone and their freedom, and they will do anything to keep it. These words were spoken by a man wanted for armed robbery who towered over my partner and myself as though we [...] You say, “I can’t do push ups”. Hit give me 20! I’ve been doing Shotokan karate for 30 yrs and doing push ups since I was a kid. There is no exercise that can help you more in almost any sport that you do. My wife Sensei Lorrie started karate as a 40 yr old [...] Gregg, my youngest son is done with his studies in Germany. He’s done his things his way and everyone who knows him has to be proud or at least impressed. Gregg decided to go to Indiana University of Pennsylvania to study in dual majors in German and Geography (are you Kidding me?) which he [...] My Karate Training When most people think of Karate they only think of fighting. Karate is actually a way of life and so it goes far beyond just being a martial art. In karate we learn ways that we could defend ourselves if we should be attacked by someone; however we also get exercise, friendships, [...] You guys are probably saying I know Sensei Culver has cracked now. He’s gotten hit in the head once too often! He’s completely flipped his wig (don’t you dare say I’ll soon need one)! None of the above! I think. What I mean is to set a goal and be unstoppable! When you feel like [...] My wife often uses the phrase, don’t be a fizzer. She’s a Black Belt in Shotokan Karate and one of my assistant instructors at Culver Karate Club in Connellsville. When she refers to someone as a fizzer, she means that they don’t finish what they start or is someone who gets almost there and walks [...] |
