Hobbies.
I've been training in Krav Maga for over a year. It's not just about physical fitness but mental discipline and focus. Practitioners are trained to remain calm under pressure, think quickly on their feet, and make split-second decisions to respond effectively to threats. This mental resilience is a crucial aspect of Krav Maga that sets it apart from other forms of martial arts. I was also inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2017 after training for three years.
I enjoy reading various genres, including fiction, memoirs, self-help, autobiographies, metaphysical, crime, and mystery. I also write poetry and short stories and have completed a manuscript and two screenplays. I swim laps at the YMCA and meditate.
