I n 1993, Jim had been suffering with back pain for 18 years and did not think martial arts was the answer. "I was learning to live with pain, fear and limitation in every aspect of my life. I was not in a good way physically, but it was the mental aspect of having the physical limitations, that really shaped my future. In three weeks time, with Thomas' guidance, I woke up and stood up straight getting out of bed. I was in awe of this because of all the things I had tried for so many years. This physical strength I was building also strengthened me mentally and began greatly increasing my confidence. For many years I had been working a job that did not challenge me but was very safe. Learning from Thomas, especially the one-on-one training, gave me the belief in myself to take on a 100% commission position that would begin paying me three to five times what I had previously been earning. The investment I made was in me and this knowledge pays lifelong dividends.
