Telling stories is a great way to get your message across, so I have decided to give it a try. My story starts out in the Martial Arts; however, it ends in dance, gymnastics and every other business model you can think of. So how should I start my story? I was playing with the idea of skipping the once upon a time part? But then I thought every person you and I know that has ever cared about us and has always had our best interest at heart, probably started every story for us with the words once, upon a time.

So here goes. Once upon a Masters Time, a Master saw a need to create something so new for an industry he loved, the martial arts, so in the year 1996 along with his student and partner Dr. Ron Valli began working on a website that would be dedicated to all styles of martial arts and their practitioners.

The World Wide Web was relatively new about that time and so we began. It was November of that year the martial arts network online was born. It wasn’t long before the word was out all over the world that there now exists a website for martial artists dedicated to all styles. It was great to see all the emails roll in from all over the world. Then it happened! In 1997 I decided to create a cable television network with another student Mr. Tony Interdonato. In those years there were only 50 or so channels but there had been the talk of a new cable television system looking to launch with the promise of hundreds of channels. It looked to us that the timing was right and with the website doing so well getting over one million hits a month we could possibly make this work. We packed up everything that year and attended our first Cable Television Show in New Orleans. For years after that, we would attend all the cable television shows each year. One year later we would move our offices from Boca Raton to Universal Studios here in Florida. We stayed there for seven years conducting network business. It was a very exciting time in which so many things took place. We started a publicly-traded company called TMANglobal, built websites in support of both the network and the publicly traded company, we even opened an office in Thailand on a trip we took in an effort to find suppliers for the network. Wesley Snipes in a letter committed to a million dollar cash infusions for the network. We were happy with the idea this was really happening right up to 911 from here things started to slow down. I still feel this is a great idea, we will have to see what the future holds. If I can make this happen I will.

My newest project is the Virtual Competitions Online, in 2015 I had this idea I thought what if I could create a tournament on the internet. If I could create a website that could host tournaments online then schools all over the world would be able to use it. This could even bring in that extra cash for school owners. You see, school owners then and now still need what I call the big three, cash flow, student acquisitions, and marketing. The platform would address all of these needs.

I remember some of the first thoughts I had. What would this website have to look like? How would we judge events? How do the schools owners make money? What about prizes? Then reality set in. Ron, what are you thinking? For centuries martial arts tournaments all over the world have been done in any venue that could be found. Most of the times they were in hot dirty not so safe or convenient locations, but let me tell you, these were great times! Great friends! And the memories will stay with us for a lifetime. What was I thinking? How could I compete with that? Was I barking up the proverbial wrong tree? What was I doing trying to change the way things had been done forever? Then it hit me, I didn’t have to change a thing.

We were going to enhance it. Today the martial arts community along with dance, gymnastics, and many other industries will use our platform in many ways, and for different reasons. Let me tell you about one of the first times I used the platform. It was at my school in Florida, West Boca Karate in Boca Raton, Nicholas was a new white belt kind of small in stature. Mom was sitting in the spectator area while Nick was getting ready to record his video. Nickolas was just five and his parents in a previous meeting with Linda and I had expressed their concern for Nickolas. Nickolas’s mom went on to say Nick was very shy and possibly on the spectrum. Nicks parents just had him tested and were waiting for the results. Nickolas did a few takes with me and between my personality and the funny responses to Nicholas bloopers Nick was smiling and getting better with each take. We did three takes that day, I adjusted Nickolas’s gate, made some adjustments to his posture and tonality as well as the way he interacted with the camera. Needless to say, Nicholas did just fine smiling and proud of himself. However, this is not why I am telling you this story. Nicholas’s Mom sitting on the side was crying to a point I had to go over to her to see If I had done something wrong. To my surprise, Nicks Mom hugged me and told me she had never seen Nickolas respond to any activity or anyone this way. Needless to say, I was hooked and, in a flash, I saw the potential of what could be. The year is now 2019 and we are ready to unleash our project on the world.

Virtual Competitions New Platform is also a humanitarian thrust forward to meet the world and its people where they live. Imagine if you would, the young man or woman that shows you in a video how they continually undermine records set by our best athletes. The worlds reach we have always hoped for has been realized now with our Virtual Competitions Platform.

There will no longer be a social problem of a forgotten child, man or woman with a dream of being the best in the world at something they know in their heart and mind they are. Not having the ability to go beyond personal circumstance that rules our lives is to be paralyzed mentally as well as physically.

Whether it’s because of poverty, sickness in the family and a need to care for an aging parent or just the inability to travel.

Virtual Competitions eliminates the drawbacks of circumstances and provides an opportunity for every person no matter where they live or what their conditions may be.

If you would like to invest in our platform, please contact Ron at 561-629-6005 or set up an appointment to be taken to our platform and shown the inner working of what is sure to be the next big thing.

Swamp

There is this narrative being played over and over again. It starts the same way each time, If the GOP can not get Health Care and Taxes done well then President Trump is toast. This is nothing more than wishful swamp thinking. We need to remember the swamp has its own ecosystem made up of swamp Dems and swamp Republicans. Now President Trump did promises all of us he would drain the swamp but pulling the Washington drain plug will take one more election in 2018. Trump supporter where greatly underestimated in the last presidential election and will be again in the next 2018 elections. You see the drain is just about ready to be pulled and everyone knows it. Do you really think that the people are blind and can't see the abstinence portrayed by the Democratic Party? Instead of working together 49 congressmen continually hold their vote from reasonable and valued policies the people have said they want. We no longer have a Congress we have two gangs MS49 and MS51 and just like all good gang members they wear their colors on their selves and stick to their rhetoric. I am happy to tell you the people will not be fooled. President Trump is a lock for 2020, and the Swamp will be gone and the peoples' agendas will be met and he did this all in just one election cycle after being elected president. How do I know this? That is an easy question. The answer is, follow the money. Look what the markets are doing, unemployment down, jobs up not to mention the smile on people's faces even as the fake media try to paint their canvas of doom. America has taken its place in the world once again and this is due to one man. Thank you, President Trump.

Slavery

Slavery, every race, every nationality has been a slave at one point in the history of mankind. Fact and irrefutable, slavery has been a necessary tool in the development of civilization. Man’s social development first with other hunters then with family and villages, communities and so on developed the need for thinkers and inventors. What better way to free up time from hunting and cooking than to utilize the captured men, women and children of neighboring villages. Civilization started to flourish due to the inventions that were created because of the extra time given these thinkers. For one group of people to dwell on something that has not happened to any of us or our parents in a hundred or so years is foolish. I don’t believe this would even happen if not for Politician’s that want to create discourse between party lines. It’s a lesser man or woman that continually play into the agendas of others. What’s most important in our lives must never be at the mercy of others. The photo of our flag above is slowly fading. "The world suffers a lot, not because of the violence of bad people but because of the silence of good people" Napoleon Bonapart 1769, Wake up America! Every effort today is being made by a small few very well funded organizations and individuals to undermine our history by destroying historic statues and our heritage by telling us we need to be ashamed of what our grandmothers and grandfathers have accomplished in creating this great country. I say No. Today I wake up to hear that the NAACP wants to remove our national anthem because Francis Scott Key at a point in his life was a slave owner. I have to say No again. These people that hide behind Lawyers and paid protesters that want to destroy the feelings and emotions our grandparents, our children and families have felt for over a hundred years must be stopped. Our families have sung this song while going into battle, standing in a classroom and attending sporting events. I say too many of us have welled up with tears while we have sung our national anthem. So I have to say NO again to the agenda of a select few that wants to do away with our national anthem and the song that asks, " Oh, say, can you see". America, I ask you. Oh, say Can you see... before it’s too late.

Wisdom

Good morning everyone, a wise person once gave me what I consider, two very important pieces of information. He said, when you pray ask for protection and if you pray just for yourself, your prayers will go nowhere. For a lifetime now I have paid attention to his words. So everyday I ask for the protection of myself, my family, friends, and students, I ask that the peacekeepers of our world keep our planet safe and for those having hard times; that they may find Solace in their faith in Jesus Christ. I am happy to pass this on to you. Good morning.

Steve Jobs

Steve, was a smart man, and being a smart man would know the difference between ability and skill. You see, ability is a GIFT you are born with SKILL is acquired through education an training. A gift like all gifts are given. Jesus Christ for me and the many millions around the world seems to work just fine. In your case this may be different. The important think to remember about Steve Jobs, is he did what he was sent to do. He listened. He was given his gifts and was toll what to do with them and for that he will be remembered throughout the universe. As far as knowing what happens to you after death which seems to be the topic here in comments. Read The Urantia Book, tip start with book 4. God Bless us all ( The Fatherhood Of God and the Brotherhood of Man ).

How Does The Entrepreneurial World of Seal Team 1‘s, Stack Up To The United States Navy’s, Seal Team 1

Seal Team 1, Wow! the best of the best. For many people in America and around the world this is the flash that produces the thoughts and pictures in the minds of all of us as those words are spoken, and rightly so. They are the best, at what they choose to do. A team of men and women so finely tuned that a comparison can only produce one and only one thought and that is of the finest of Swiss Time Pieces. So finely created that its workings are without question as to pre session and accrues. Seal Teams train and execute missions much like this watch. Never missing a beat. A question arises however, Seal Team member, outside of his or her team, what do they aspires to? As an individual they are successful men and women that have acquired skills. Ask yourself this question. What is the difference between Ability and Skill? Ability is what we are born with and is given to us by God. Skill is what we have acquired through training and experience. What is experience? Trial and error...mostly error, bad chooses we hopefully learn from. There has never been nor will there ever be a Seal Team member or Team born with “ability only” that can do what Seal Team 1 has accomplished. Be dropped into Pakistan and take out Osama Bin Ladin. Individual Seal Team member training, and teamwork, are only but two of a three part quest for the making of a Seal Team 1 capable unit. The third part, is experience, and that is a killer. The Seals, of Seal Team 1 have had to do a mission or missions like this before to acquire the experience to qualify for the first team. If you were a member of any of the other teams and failed, there is a good chance you’re dead. If you’re in Entrepreneurial World you’re probably broke, out of business and would like to be dead. Okay, you have passed the test and by trail and error you have been found worthy of your new position. SEAL Team 1... STOP! I forgot to tell you one more thing you have to know.

Do you remember that Swiss Time Piece we where talking about? The one that can run one hundred years without missing a beat. Why do you think it can do that? I will tell you why. Because it knows it’s a Swiss Time Piece and it has Purpose, Integrity and Honor, made by a team of people with the same values. I see it this way. While the sum of the parts are enclosed in that solid gold watch case it will do its job and never let its team members that are also enclosed in that solid gold case down. For many of us that solid gold case may be an office or a basket ball court or a football field. For a Seal Team 1 member it’s the world stage. We can never forget the reasons we do the things we do. That’s what gets us home at the end of the day. When you walk through that door and hold the people you love in your arms, does it really matter how you got there? Or just that you’re there. At night, lie that solid gold watch on your night stands, and get into bed. Slide up to your world and hold them in your arm as you smile knowing the world your world is safer and better then it was yesterday.

No Death Sentence/Life W/O Parole on circumstantial evidence

Please
Sign Our Petition
http://tiny.cc/wf0oj

Case in point, Casey Anthony, you do not try to give a person a death sentence, or life in prison “Without Parole” only on circumstantial evidence. Justification for this kind of sentencing can only be made with hard factual evidence. Governor, Senators and Speaker, every day we read in the newspapers someone is getting out of prison because of new DNA evidence being found, or a new DNA test has been invented. Well, where is the balance for people who have been convicted on circumstantial evidence? When no physical evidence exist in a case it becomes impossible to prove your innocence. Today, it would seem one rule covers all events that fall into a specific category...such as crimes that fall under "capital felony". It needs to be changed by people who refuse to give the rule of law to another RULE... instead of giving it to a thinking person. Legislation I would like you to consider. I would ask that legislation be crafted that would not allow a person convicted on circumstantial evidence to receive a life term without parole. Please make this retroactive for all persons now being held in Florida jails. Have all persons that fall into this category go in front of a parole board for a review. If they have served an amount of time the board feels is just, and they have not been getting in any trouble while incarcerated, what would be the harm in giving them their life back? It would also save Florida some money and relieve the overcrowding in our prisons. Ron Tramontano

Is actress Angelina Jolie a martial arts aficionado?

Is actress Angelina Jolie a martial arts aficionado? Not sure. But she sure did have something quite smart to say recently about the martial arts and how they can help normally aggressive boys. "A lot of people who study martial arts know that if you have children who have any kind of aggression one of the best things to do is certainly not to ignore it, but to actually put that child into a martial arts class so they understand their own body, to learn discipline., to learn their own strength and then to harness it," Jolie told EW. "My boys wrestle all the time," she adds. "They're two boys, but they've been in martial arts classes for a while together and now they bow to each other, they know when to hit the mat [i.e. when they want to quit], they know when to stop wrestling. They have respect. But they're boys -- without that they're going to want to wrestle, to try things and test themselves. It's a primal thing. But to keep it in an organized way where it shows respect and discipline is fantastic." Get Your Child Started ...

Fairness/Mercy

You should realize that there is a great reward of personal satisfaction in being first just, next fair, then patient, then kind. And then, on that foundation, if you choose and have it in your heart, you can take the next step and really show mercy; but you cannot exhibit mercy in and of itself. These steps must be traversed; otherwise there can be no genuine mercy. There may be patronage, condescension, or charity--even pity--but not mercy. True mercy comes only as the beautiful climax to these preceding adjuncts to group understanding, mutual appreciation, fraternal fellowship, spiritual communion, and divine harmony.

Mr. April: Contest Judge of the Month!

Mr. April: Contest Judge of the Month!

Welcome to this month's expose bringing you the inside story on Judges and Readers of the Top Screenwriting Contests in the country. Everything you ever wanted to know about these mysterious creatures but had no way to ask.

These bunnies are willing to bare it all for me, a fellow judge, working producer, screenwriting teacher, friend and colleague, so I can bring you the scintillating scoop on who is reading your contest script and what they really, really want. Use this unique peek into their minds so your next contest encounter will turn these Juicy Judges to putty in your hands.

Then turn the tables! It's your chance to vote for your favorite PlayJudge of the Year. Each writer who nominates the winning PJOY, receives a 10% discount on the BIG IDEAS Screenwriting Seminar, held around the country. You'll learn to create your most successful script before you ever type "Fade In." One weekend takes you from "What to Write?" to "Ready to Write!" and gives you the tools to complete your script faster than you dreamed possible.

And now, Mr. April, a manly manager, with a surprisingly softer side, exposed in this revealing centerfold.

Mr. April's Vital Statistics
I have been a judge in a handful of competitions over the last five years including Scriptapalooza. I don't want to do too many of them, but I like to read fresh voices.

His Reel Life
I am a manager who started my own company. We represent writers and actors predominantly and looking to work with more directors. I pride my self and the company on development of writers as well as creating goals, strategies, and interesting projects for the marketplace in film or television.

Mr. April's Turn Ons
I am always first and foremost interested in the characters on the page. Right now, horrors thrillers, and action films are getting made easier, but I do have a soft spot for Romantic Comedies.

Mr. April's Turn Offs
It is always disappointing to start a script that does not grab you from the first few pages. Screenwriting is a tough medium, but at the core has to be a compelling story that forces me to turn the page. Also, it is tough for me to read a piece by a writer who doesn't go to the movies and understand what types of films are getting made right now. Being educated in film is a prerequisite to being a writer in the field.

His Favorite Position&to Read In
I don't get to do this much except on the weekend, but reading on my laptop outside at my local coffee shop. Nothing beats that.

The Dirty Little Secret Mr. April wants to Share
Great writing is one thing and almost the most important facet of a screenplay, but a close second is a logline and a hook. Films are getting harder and harder to make, so you better be able to tell someone quickly what to expect before they read it. If not, they might never get to it. Have passion for your project, but be practical. Also, know that every word you write is not magic or in stone because screenwriting is a team sport. Many people are involved in getting a film made, and everyone wants to have input, so let's face it, we need all the allies we can get. Good luck out there.

Barri Evins is a successful film producer and a sought after screenwriting teacher.
