Hey, I’m Colan Magill, the creator of this website

I started this website when I was a Student at Sarah Lawrence College. It was my first foray into blending my experience as a martial arts instructor, outdoorsman, and generally bookish dork. If you’re looking to see the story of someone attempting to become, then you’ve found the right place.

Maybe we can laugh about how ridiculous that is together.

Among the things you’ll find here

• Martial Arts Lessons: I’ll be sharing with you about what I’m learning both from a philosophy and technical perspective.

• How to live life like you know what you’re doing. My first ever resume described me as a professional idiot. Surprisingly, I got the job.

• The Process of Becoming. We may never arrive at a destination. However, I am always trying to turn into the person 10 year old me imagined in the mirror. Yes, I was ten and flexing my non-existent muscles like Heracles.
