Lookout, that toaster's got a gun!

Strength For Living is a complete and truthful approach to real physical fitness that incorporates all aspects of what that really means. There is no baggage here, nor is it allowed. I have worked far too hard in the last 25 years to even consider such a mistake.

Strength For Living will not rest on past accomplishments or be impressed with itself. We constantly look to the future.

Ron Morris Strength For Living is dedicated to teaching people how to take care of themselves.

Hanzo is the ultimate self-help art form that stems from my 25 years of physical fitness and deep study of Yoga, Zazen, martial arts, internally and externally- Kung Fu, Qigong, Tai Chi and the adaptation of Russian kettlebells. Blending my studies, experiences and education together created the ultimate tool to physical fitness and mental well-being. This is a Zen approach to personal awareness and mental clarity. Hanzo was born and continues to evolve on a daily basis, as I do.

The success of this art form has been nothing short of amazing; hundreds of students have passed through my school and every one of them a success story in his or her own right. Interestingly enough, a natural progression takes place in team building of large and small groups, where being able to mentally and physically communicate to your teammates is paramount. An example of one of our successes is the University of Minnesota Women's Lacrosse Team; because of the Hanzo approach and nine weeks of training with me personally, they placed in the national championship for the first time in 2007.

There are many other success stories including firefighters, SWAT Teams, military, EMS, etc... These are the high-risk groups with whom we work. We found that there was NO mandatory training in team building skills and physical fitness for these types of jobs; and, as far as Strength For Living was concerned, these team skills should have been the first thing addressed in their training along with the individual's physical abilities. Team building begins by first, creating an environment of self-reliance and self-respect in the student, then and only then, can they begin to work and trust each other as a team. With these types of jobs, should this even be an issue?

The impact of Strength For Living training is immediate and lasting. This type of education creates a genuine base for a person to dramatically change all aspects of his or her life. Living healthy is an art form, and that is what Hanzo Philosophy is all about.

You may ask, "who the F&#% are you?" Well, if you've read this far, you have earned the right to know who I am. And they said to keep it short, soooooo..........

I was found and raised by a group of deranged Eskimos called "The Bobs" (they were all named Bob, get it?). To make a long, cold story short, they ended up proclaiming me, "the chosen Bob", also known as, "the Bob that thinks he knows every F&#%ing thing on the iceberg", and I do! The End.
