One Off Those Kinds Of Guys

I was recently reminded of a conversation I had a few years back with a coworker.

I was helping out at a work event, and one of my coworkers asked me if I had any hobbies.

The conversation sounded a little like this:

HER: "So, do you have any other hobbies?"

ME: "Well....I teach Martial Arts."  (NOTE: I'm usually hesitant to tell people. You'll see why.)

HER: "Oh, what's that?"

ME: "You know like Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, Boxing, ..umm.... MMA." 

(In her most condescending voice, she said the following.)

"Oh, your one of those guys."

In the split second after she said those words, I could have said the following:

Yes, I'm one of those guys that expect the most out of myself and others.

Yes, I'm one of those guys that make children want to teach martial arts when they grow up.

I'm a guy that trains hard and tries to be an inspiration to my students, family and friends.

I'm one of those guys that make teenagers say, "Where does he get all that energy?"

I'm one of those guys that sees himself as a shepard and not a sheep.

I'm a guy that donates my time to my martial arts school and students.

I'm a guy that wants to give students true confidence in their skills.

I'm one of those guys that has had parents tell me the following: "You have no idea what an inspiration you are to my son/daughter."

Instead of saying any of this things or anything else, I just smiled, and thought, "YES! I'm one of those guys." 

Anyways, I think all of the 360 Mastery Testers are one of those guys or gals. We set and accomplish goals that take years, and we are each are an inspiration to our students and to each other. 

Since, I feel so great about our Master Testers, I wanted to draw a cool picture of us as modern day super heroes. So, below is a cartoon of the 360 Mastery SUPER team. Also, I plan to print this out as a coloring sheet for our next parents night out event at the studio.

Can you guess the real identities (instructor name) of each hero?

Also, here are my numbers for the week. I needed an additional rest day to help relieve a troubled calf muscle.
