I don’t even know where to begin. Other than the fact that I almost creaked my neck during rolling warm-ups, I think I’m slowly getting the hang of BJJ. I’m doing a lot of rolling with the other students, and they’ve all got a ton of experience. It really feels like I’ve gotta catch up…
I wonder. Because I’ve been 30 for about a week now, and it still hasn’t quite set in. I mean, I’ve still got hair, and people think that i’m 20. Last week, I was training at my gym, and I was spending some time doing bagwork. The dude next to me struck up a conversation…
This is me after my first day of BJJ. FUCK THAT SHIT IS TIRING. I have an even greater respect for BJJ fighters now. That training is no joke. So what did I go over in my first day? The Kimura and the Americana Triangles Stances Transitioning from guard to mount And a whole bunch…

Ramon Dekkers, you were an inspiration to many. Especially me. When I first started Muay Thai a few years ago, I really didn’t have any references, as I had been watching K-1 fights. Charlie showed me this highlight reel when I…
You can say what you want about Women’s MMA, but let me say this. Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche fought with the intensity of like 20 dudes. That shit was epic. Ronda’s armbar? Pure class. And that’s like the only moment where I would love to be armbared. By Ronda Rousey. UFC 157 was a…
Kyokushin Karate is one of my favorite martial arts. It’s a hard striking style, and its emphasis on practicality makes it a very useful art to learn.
