“Energy Is Inert”
It Is Our Choice!
One of the principles that has been taught to me by my mentors is that our "Energy is Inert." Which means that Energy is neither negative nor positive. What we choose to do with that energy will yield negative or positive results. However, the energy itself has no polarity.
Example: Years ago I was going through a time in my life where I could not sleep. I would lie in bed tossing & turning and struggling to let go of issues that were frustrating me. I was truly a tormented soul. Until finally, it got to the point where I said to myself,
"This is crazy. I control what I think about and I choose not to think about these things because it causes me pain."
I then willed myself to focus on other items. That got me off the negative; however, I was still wide-awake. 4:00 in the morning, frustrated as I was, I decided to get up, grab my staff (Bo) and go out into the street in my front of my house and started working on different combinations. Through many nights and constant practice in those early morning hours came the creation of what is now known as Staff Form #7. This Staff Form would prove to serve me well later in my martial arts tournament career by helping me win more than my share of trophies, awards, accolades and ultimately the world championships four times over.
I share this with you not to impress you, but to impress upon you that the next time you get frustrated, mad, angry or upset you should take a step back and re-set. Knowing that you have The Secret and The Control. Remind yourself it is time for you to choose to focus your energy and power on accomplishing something positive and productive. You are in control and thus can positively impact every outcome.
Anthony Robbins said it best when he said, "When I get frustrated, I get excited. Because I know that I am on the verge of a breakthrough."
Energy is inert, what we choose to do with that energy will yield negative or positive results. It is our choice.
We must always force ourselves to work towards positive results. Life is too short to do otherwise.

“July is Charity Month at NAK”
Az Hunger Campaign
In Arizona, 1 in 5 children are food-insecure; that means that these children don’t know where their next meal is coming from; that makes us 5th in the nation. NAK Martial Arts Center is joining with other Greater-Phoenix area churches and organizations to collect 5 million pounds of food in 1 year. The food will be distributed to the hungry in our communities through existing food banks, shelters, and homes. What we collect at NAK will go to Open Arms Care Center and House of Refuge East, both in Gilbert. Any excess will be distributed to other needy outlets in our area.
Won’t you help us feed the hungry children in our community? We can make a difference, but we need everyone to participate. Beginning Monday July 5th, and continuing throughout the month of July we will collect canned, boxed, and other non-perishable foods. Just drop it off in the box at the dojo marked Open Arms. And since the AZ Hunger Campaign will continue thru the year, we want to help as much as we can so we will have a collection at least once per quarter. Thank you! Simou.

Daily Affirmations
It is said, that we ARE, what we think of ourselves and our thoughts dictate what happens in our life, through the law of attraction. Maybe that's why, mostly everything that we are exposed to, is meant to make us feel that we are not good enough and that everything is bad and getting worse. When in fact we create the type of world we live in, through our thoughts that create our actions.
Well this is my attempt at reversing the negative cycle into a positive one. We are adding a monthly affirmation to our newsletter that you can modify to meet your needs, our suggestion is to repeat these affirmations daily and you will see and feel the changes in your life.
The method to maximize the effect of the affirmations, is to read them in the morning and before going to sleep everyday.
