About Me

Welcome to Self Victory Lifestyle!

My name is Adam Johnson and this is my blog.  My vision for this blog is to provide insight and tools into the mindset and philosophy that helps the reader overcome fear and obstacles they may encounter in their life, especially pertaining to bullying and the effects of bullying.

So how did I come up with the title, Self Victory Lifestyle?  I am a martial artist and have been for about twenty-five years.  Part of the philosophy of a martial artist is to be an over-comer. To continually grow and get better every day, not only physically, but mentally and spiritually too.

The founder of Aikido, Moriehei Ueshiba, had a philosophy that he would offer to his pupils.  Ueshiba would say “True victory is victory over oneself.”  We have one enemy in our lives that never leaves and is always putting obstacles in our way, and that enemy is ourselves.  We as humans tend to be our own worst enemy! Thus "Self Victory Lifestyle."

Bullying is a complex issue with a lot of people, but how do we fix it?  We will explore this, and many more topics, and I will offer up information and resources that will help you overcome your fears and self defeating obstacles.

So I am providing a way for the "non-martial artist" to benefit from the martial arts, self-defense, mindset, philosophy and exercises without having to dedicate their entire lives to the martial arts.

I look forward to connecting with you.  Send an email with your questions or comments, or if you have topics or ideas you would like to see presented here, I welcome that too.
