Round Rock, TX, August 21, 2009. Bob Eskridge, President of Eskridge & Associates, tested before Grandmaster Sin Kwang Thé and has achieved the rank of Sho-Dan (1st Degree Black belt) in Shaolin-Do Kung Fu.
The Shaolin system as taught today is comprised of more than fifty styles and nine hundred forms. From this enormous body of material, today's Shaolin-Do practitioners receive a broad-based martial arts education that covers the entire spectrum of martial arts philosophy and technique. The Shaolin-Do curriculum teaches its practitioners sound fundamentals and provides each practitioner with the appropriate mental and physical challenge for their level of training.
Bob comments that it is wonderful to be able to achieve this goal. He has been practicing 10-12 times a week over the last two and a half years to be prepared for this test. He highly recommends martial arts to anyone looking to add discipline, hard work and conditioning of the body and spirit to their lives. “This has done wonders not only for me physically but for the stress relief in my life in trying to build three businesses.” Says Bob.
Shaolin-Do is the most complete and comprehensive martial arts system in the world. Upon completion of the lower belt and 1st degree black belt curriculum, the Shaolin-Do student has a minimum of 27 long forms through which they have studied a variety of techniques such as short forms, sparring techniques, self-defense, tiger, crane, hawk, staff, short stick, nunchaku, broadsword, sai, and kwan dao. The student now has the conditioning, material knowledge, and sparring foundation to be considered a disciple, or serious “beginner”, and will continue to study a wide variety of styles and techniques that not only produce a well rounded martial artist, but also an extraordinarily well conditioned body and mind.
Bob studies under the instruction of Master Don Duncan (5th degree Black Belt /Black Sash), Owner and Head Instructor of Shaolin-Do Kung Fu and Tai Chi school located in Round Rock Texas (www.texaskungfu.com). Master Duncan is a student of Grandmaster Sin Kwang Thé, 10th degree Grandmaster of the Shaolin-Do system in the United States.
Bob comments that there are many analogies between martial arts and with business in general and recruiting specifically. For instance, like in recruiting, understanding, working on and repeating the basics are the building blocks necessary to make you successful. Bob plans to continue his Kung Fu training and looks forward to one day achieving his 2nd degree Black Belt. His ultimate goal is to become a Master (6th degree Black Belt) and one day become and instructor as well. To achieve 6th degree will require approximately 20 more years of intensive dedicated study. Bob says that will make a wonder 70th birthday present!

Eskridge & Associates launches its .mobi site!!
Round Rock, TX, August 19, 2009. Eskridge & Associates has recently launched their new mobile website, www.eskridge-associates.mobi developed by Dillinger & Kovach. According to Ryan Kovach, “Everyone is on a mobile phone with web access. The Blackberry or IPhone is becoming the default “laptop” for most folks especially in other countries. You still need your current websites but they are not optimized for mobile phones. Having a complementary .mobi site allows quicker access to that key client out there. ”
Bob Eskridge, President of Eskridge & Associates says, “I am very grateful to Ryan Kovach for bringing the idea of expanding our marketing reach with a .mobi site. I have to believe that with the plethora of smart phones out there, it only makes sense to have a website that is customized to work quickly within the resources available to a smart phone.” According to Plunkett Research Ltd., there are three times more mobile phones than computers in the world. Consumers use their mobile phones and PDAs at least 15-plus hours per day, on average. Mobile 2.0 is more than just accessing the Internet on a phone – it's actively engaging in a world where technology is king and timing is everything. Eskridge and Associates is perfectly poised to utilize mobile technology as a way to create what is sure to become the new talent search experience.

Eskridge & Associates: Congratulations to Bob Eskridge
Round Rock, TX, June 25, 2009. Bob Eskridge, President of Eskridge & Associates has achieved the rank of 3rd Degree Brown Sash in Tai Chi.
Tai Chi (ti-CHE) is a series of gentle movements that can bring about stress reduction, improved balance and many other health benefits. Tai chi is sometimes described as "meditation in motion." Originally developed in China as a form of self-defense, this graceful form of exercise has existed for about 2,000 years. It's becoming increasingly popular around the world, both as a basic exercise program and as a compliment to other health care methods. Health benefits include stress reduction, greater balance and increased flexibility — especially for older adults.
Tai Chi is a noncompetitive, self-paced system of gentle physical exercise. To do Tai Chi, you perform a defined series of postures or movements in a slow, graceful manner. Each movement or posture flows into the next without pausing.
Bob studies Tai Chi under the instruction of Master Don Duncan (5th degree Black Belt /Black Sash), Owner and Head Instructor of Shaolin-Do Kung Fu and Tai Chi school located in Round Rock Texas (www.texaskungfu.com). Master Duncan is a student of Grandmaster Sin Kwang Thé, 10th degree Grandmaster of the Shaolin-Do system in the United States.
Bob comments that there are many analogies between martial arts and with business in general and recruiting specifically. For instance, like in recruiting, understanding and working on the basics skills are the building blocks necessary to make you successful. Bob plans to continue his Tai Chi instruction and looks forward to achieving his 1st degree Black Sash rank. He is currently a 1st degree brown belt in Shaolin Do Kung Fu and will be testing in front of Grandmaster Sin Kwang Thé for his 1st degree black belt this August.
