I was an extra but the stuntman for the pilot was injured and they asked me to take his place. After donning some padding under my jacket, they gave me instructions on how to fall down stairs. I said, "Thanks, but no thanks. I have my own judo way of doing this" The only problem was that there was a wall right at the bottom of the stairs. So from the top of the stairs, I did a front rolling breakfall and just before hitting the wall face on, I turned and bounced off the wall from my back. However, I still didn't make it as World champ. So no guarantees.Rainer Fischerhttp://bionicjudo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-12034137265390274882011-02-28T19:18:56.551-08:002011-02-28T19:18:56.551-08:00The interview was for a TV show. I'm not sure ...The interview was for a TV show. I'm not sure when it will air. I'll ask Ronda. (I'm in Florida right now and she's home in LA).<br /><br />As far as career risks, well the big risk I am taking now is largely possible because my three older daughters are all self-supporting and between my current business and my husband's income we can maintain our current lifestyle for the next year or so. If I can't make enough after a year, then I'll have to come up with a Plan B.<br /><br />It's kind of like Tinkerbelle in Hook, it was the biggest wish I ever wished (almost) and it was for myself.<br /><br />So, no, I did not take these kind of risks when my kids still needed college tuition bills, European training camps, etc. paid.<br /><br />At this point, my worst case scenario is my youngest daughter my be bought somewhat less useless junk for a while if I don't make enough money in my new start-up within the year. On the other hand, if I do succeed, she'll be a quite spoiled college student.Dr. AnnMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741371839260099343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-46525514467046614862011-02-28T09:39:46.892-08:002011-02-28T09:39:46.892-08:00Great story!

In regards to your career, how were you able to balance family life, work and taking career risks? My daily work routine starts early in the morning, so I can get off early to take my kids to their swim team practice four days out of the week. My free time is limited to tues evening and after 8 pm the rest of the days. I often come up with ideas such as going to part time law school (this is just one idea), but my planning hits roadblocks when I think or factor in that my kid's time and opportunities would be sacrificed.<br /><br />When and where will the interview be published?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-15346827750087288392011-02-27T07:16:51.693-08:002011-02-27T07:16:51.693-08:00Its better than to dwell for the rest of ones life...Its better than to dwell for the rest of ones life on "what if?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
