Looking Back on 2018 and Forward to 2019

Looking Back on 2018 and Forward to 2019

I am not one for New Year’s resolutions. I think the idea is certainly noble. I think any kind of resolution to become better than your former self is a noble effort. I commend it.

For 2018, this was my first full…

The State of Martial Arts in Pakistan Today – 6 years later

It’s crazy. I made a post like this about 6 years ago. I was thinking about how much things have changed since then and now and I decided I had to make another post, more than 5 years later.
