These are photos for my members to use on their own homepages, dating sites, or to e-mail to their family and friends.
Every so often, I bring the lights and cameras to capture images of people being themselves.
Most of these people are single and would rather be displayed as they really are in life.
You are not a walking portrait or

or some fancy pose. This is what everybody sees. You being you.
Who are you anyway, and what do you want people to see? Let me think about that one.....hmmmm.
How about a photo of you talking on a phone? No? Yes? Probably not! Maybe a photo you sitting at a desk staring at a computer. Everybody is doing it. It must the way to go. What do you think? Nope! Maybe

that isn't it either. How about a time line compilation of images and video showing your athletic ability and progress over an extending period of time.
Video and photos showing the world what you are, and what you can do.
These images are speaking volumes about toughness, dedication, commitment, desire, passion, and a plethora of primal instincts to boot.

These images are seen by thousands of people per month world wide. Last month this website got over 300,000 hits. It was viewed by people from every country from all over the world. I've seen countries I never knew existed before. Where is Tonga? Somebody from there or a lot someone's have been using this site for over 12 years.
To my knowledge the White Collar Boxing web site

may be the oldest, longest running video clip oriented site in the fitness industry.
Oh yeah.... Video rules. All belt exams, tournaments, and the WCB class is video taped and published on this site.
One of the members named Brenda had tried E-Harmony and a few other dating sites with low to no favorable results. She

complained that she wasn't getting enough traffic or the quality wasn't what she desired. As an experiment I told her that I could help her increase traffic.
I had already filmed her before beating the shit out of me while I was wearing body armor. I had a head gear, chest and rib protector, a cup, and boxing gloves on. For 3 minutes she whaled on me while I taunted her. I took that clip and edited it down to a little

over a minute long. I posted her and the clip to her page on myspace.com.

Then I posted her clip on my page and on about 40 of my friends list and it got 9296 hits in one week. Her page blew up. Now she cannot keep up with the men and traffic on her myspace page.
I was using myspace as a model to see if my skills as a self promoter would work for her like I have for me. Here is what I did the real press.

Another one of my clients, Shelley, got mad at me for taking video shots of her. It was because of what she looked like on video. It took her about ten days to tighten up for new video now.
The fight business is a tough game. It demands a strong will, and desire to handle the rigors of this type of training. Our class can be physically, mentally, and verbally abusive. If you cannot take verbal attacks then you will not be able to handle the physical attacks that go along with the training. The longer you train the higher the demands become.
These same circumstances exist in all professional sports. The art of coaching is to achieve the most |
|
out of each individual not their least. This is achieved by a verbal forehand then backhand technique. Sometimes it even demands the physical, too. We attempt to get everyone on the same page as far as tolerance and toughness goes. Anyone who is resistant or cannot handle this philosophy doesn't belong in this environment.
For 15 years the

WCB program has been enjoyed by mainly women. There is a unique set of characteristics that comes with dealing with women. First, you have to eliminate all the the taboo and social restraints that women use to their advantage to manipulate men. That will not happen in this environment. What is fair is fair.
There will be no drama. There will be no victims. There will be no excuses. Women will not use alluring possibilities to any men in this class for things that will never happen. In short, don't say it unless you mean it. Beauty and attractability will not breed slack as far as the rules of the class go.
Because we have attractive women in this class, the men will not use this environment to pull male ego tricks with other males. That goes even further from the men towards the women in class.
Men will not pull the "divide and conquer" routine to align anyone to their way of doing things socially at the sake of the class. Not only is it wrong, but very stupid considering we hit each other when we spar. The nature of the class and training is dangerous enough without adding male ego to the equation.
These issues have to be addressed because we use control when we free spar. The last thing we need is someone provoking anyone male or female when it comes to free sparring. Creating hostility more than necessary may lead to injuries due to excessive contact when fighting. Men and women fight each other in this class,so you have to use restraint as far as how much power a male uses when fighting a female.
|
Karate free sparring is safe, and it will allow you to learn how to fight with control. All of our high profile white collar employee types will be able to work without looking like they got rolled in gang fight just from training. The further you go in belt ranking the more ability and control you will achieve in your fighting.
We have more adult women in our class that compete |
|
 |
in tournaments than any other program in Texas.
Every tournament we go to there are at least two or three black belts begging to come train (for free of course), to show off their "skills" in our class.
We keep the environment right to keep our members progress moving forward. It is human nature to follow the pathway of least resistance. That will not happen in the WCB Program.
People that train with us do it because it is hard, not becasue it is easy.
