Training today with a few close souls was good for the spirit. A close friend and mentor is leaving us shortly, travelling overseas with his family to pursue his carreer, further personal development and experience. He will be dually missed. His wisdom, his life, his knowledge of deep training techniques, completely invaluable, a brilliant mind for training.
He was very much with us today training, concentrating, focusing, but I also knew he was far away, already embarking on his new adventure, perhaps nervous, perhaps simply anxious to what awaits, but always calm, he is always calm and reflective and strong willed. I sensed his distance today, but it is situsations such as these, that assist one in reflecting deeply upon what is important in life, and how important certain experiences trully are. His presence is powerful and an authority when we put our minds and bodies through intensity on all and various levels, I, we look to him for guidence, he is strong psychologically and physically. One truly learns to appreciate what they have when the reality of seperation is addressed.
In saying all this though, it is all for growth and strengthening of ties and friendships, this situation has allowed me to deeply reflect upon the goodness that this soul has bought in to my life, the strength, wisdom and courage he has provided me with, and it is not the end, simply the beginning of something new, with today's technology, communication is simple, and i know that he is not far. His mind is easily accessible. A wonderful training partner and friend, I am glad, deeply happy to have met him...
I wish you the best my friend, and this will be the first of other posts dedicated to you, your knowledge and wisdom is priceless and should be shared with all.
Good work today gentlemen, training was intense, yet very relaxed at the same time, a solid atmosphere for training, and reaching deep within ones self and pleasant atmosphere for knowing you are surrounded by sincerity and trust...
welcome...
This site is designed to give you insight on the nature of my very own being, it has been constructed to allow the expression of all who are in search of something greater than what is simply apparently in front of them... I would like all to be able to express freely their opinions, their feelings, their thoughts and their understandings of this theatre we call life and inturn I would hope to learn much from others as hopefully some may learn something from me. I will document my thoughts and experiences for all to view, in essence I anticipate this to spark up discussion to why life is what it is, and what is it that exactly is...
I do not believe one can reach enlightenment through philosophical discussion, but I do believe, that thought like anything else when exercised grows and flourishes, and thought is an integral part of existance and growth as is spirit...
I wish all that visit this web site inner tranquility, inner freedom and clarity amongst life and living...
ABOUT ME...
My birth name is Stefanos, it is the name given to me by my parents. My culture is a mixture of Greek & Italian & that of a multicultrul Australia. I wont go to deeply in to my past, because I have 26 years of it & it could get lengthy, rather I would like to focus on where I am now, in this moment, in retrospect to that I am well aware that our past affects, shapes & somewhat creates who we are, what we are, how we feel and think, our characters, our personalities, & what action we take today, knowing this, I do not reject my past, it is me, I embrace it, So I continue...
Am in intrigued by life, I am curious by all that is. I love new experiences, I love and feel deeply connected to the mountains, to the ocean, & to nature, I feel a connectedness that at times superseeds any human relationship, this may be difficult to comprehend, but is an extrordinarily beautiful feeling. I am currently heavily involved in physical training, and I take it very seriously, I enjoy all training, and am currently martial arts fight training, in the form of boxing and jujitsu, along this I exert myself physically with cycling, hiking (when I can, as I love altitude), running, and all cross training. i train intensly because it takes me to a place within myself, that is deep and that is singular, it is connected to something higher. Along the benefits of performance on a physical level, this intense and focused training does something else for me, it assists me to find me, who I really am, what i am of, and how I am connected to what surrounds me... Although all that is here is finite, I will embrace this journey i am on for as long as I am meant to, all that I do, and all who cross my path, and bless my being I will acknowledge as a true gift, that is here to enhance my being, for me to learn, and perhaps for me to pass on something from my own being. This is part of the journey I am on, a journey through the maze and labrynth of life...
Namaste for now...

Thank-you for this dedication Stef.
There is a lot going on and my way of dealing with the situation is, as you observed, to stay calm and withdraw.
As my own dedication I am grateful for the opportunity to train with you, Rod and Paul over this past year and will make a strong commitment continue this connection even when I am not close in a physical sense.
Strength and Spirit
Damon
