Greetings Marc – 53 is perfect age where I feel like Wisdom meets practical know how in the perfect way to instruct & inspire.

Thats the point where most men are level headed (no chest thumping ego) and simply more realistic (know that squaring off to “box” 2-3 angry muggers isn’t a good idea, but that 2-3 people can corner targets and learning the fastest (often dirtiest) way to get out might save you a trip to the ER (or worse).
I’m still in 40’s but IMO starting early mid 40’s till mid 50’s / early 60’s we are def over what a few of us might have embrassed (ignorantly) aka the “tough guy” knock out all bad guys game plan. Sometimes you have no choice, but in my experience as a bit of s “hooligan” growing up and later a bouncer, I learned leaps and bounds about what NOT to do and learned a bit about what is recommended in these shortened time spans of tension and bravado ..that is most of it can be avoided simply due to brittle egos, BUT every now and again you will run into the Ex con or Vet who’s off his meds or been hurt emotionally and you got a dangerous issue brewing.
