many people are concerned about your HealtH. wHat can you tell us?

The first 8 months of 2013 I fought and beat stage 4 throat cancer. Clearly the lowest point of my life but
ironically it also was the most powerful experience as well. What I learned from the overwhelming show
of love and support of my Kenpo 5.0 family as well as from so many in the public let me know for sure that
my life has been of value for so many and because of that realization I feel that my choices that brought
me to this point have been the right choices. After all the most important thing in life is to have made a
meaningful contribution to the common good. And the love and friendship I enjoy to this day from my
5.0 family and others around the world gives me that level of accomplishment.

is tHere anytHing you wisH to say to all your friends and fans in tHe martial art community
as we close tHis interview?

Yes, please try to remember that we all came from the same place and it is the idea of separation that
comes out of a feeling of forgetting that one premise that is bringing our world and our martial art world
down. I personally stand for those martial artists out there who have kept to the time honored traditions
from any art and never give in to the greed and ego of selling rank or advancing themselves for money
and power. If these words mean something to you then join us and become the solution.
