We will meet a lot of people during our lives and many will influence us in a positive way and some of them in the most profound way, if we are fortunate. I want to share a story with you about my good friend Glenn Coxon, as there are many lessons we can take from his journey. One is over coming stage 4 cancer. Most of us know someone who has or had cancer, for some of us, it’s a family member. We know some cancers aren’t too bad and we have a good chance of kicking it or living with it for a long time. Others can be savage and take someone in a matter of months. Glenn had a pretty savage one and he didn’t catch it until it was extremely advanced. Let me start with telling you a bit about what sort of person Glenn is and perhaps we can gain a better understand what he drew upon, to fight this cancer. Glenn has been involved in the martial arts and fight scene for more than 50 years and has obtained numerous black belts. He grew up reading about legends such as Chuck Norris, Benny ‘The Jet’ Urquidez, Bill ‘Super-foot’ Wallace and so many more. He couldn’t imagine as a kid that one day he would actually get to stand opposite these people toe-toe and share techniques, ideas, meals and even travel with many of them. Glenn is one of those people that’s sometimes difficult to please and many times difficult to impress. Perhaps that’s why he went out of my way to track down leaders in the Martial Arts, so they could help him become his best. As a result of his passion for martial arts he opened up a number of schools to share his knowledge and also became a promoter showcasing some of the biggest names in Kickboxing during that era.
