Breaking barriers that hold you back

New Haven (WTNH) - Many of us have something holding us back from our goals, most of which are self-imposed barriers that just need to be broken through.

Nationally-recognized martial artist and motivational speaker Leif Becker joined us this morning to talk about his new book Breaking Barriers: Your Guild to Personal Mastery.

Becker, a black belt in Tang Soo Doo, also demonstrated his 20 years of martial arts training for us by breaking 16 wooden blocks in two seconds. But that is no sweat for him. Becker broke a world record by breaking 487 boards in one minute.

Becker is holding free teleseminars called "Summer Success Sessions" beginning Thursday July 9 at 7:30 p.m. Individuals can call in and participate in discussions on breaking through personal barriers.

Further off into the future is the Breaking Barriers Weekend Workshop, held October 22 - 24 at the Heritage Hotel in Southbury. Participants will spend three days developing a specific course of action to reach specific goals within their lives.
