Other training?
Does anyone train in any non-combat sport or non-martial arts in addition to BJJ? When, I popped a rib just before Masters Workds in 2017, I started running to try and keep my cardio up and my weight down while I healed up enough to roll. I was never much of a runner, but found that I did enjoy the improved cardio and the…

Debut MMA Fight
I won my debut (at age 43) MMA Fight Saturday Night. The first round was down right ugly. Tough as nails opponent who hit like a truck.

We are not "required" to attend seminars though it is…

Made major lifestyle changes and dropped 90lbs in about 15 months and made it down to my high school weight. 3 years later I always seem to float back up 15ish lbs around the holidays and usually have it…
