Thanks to Georgette for pointing this guy’s blog out. It’s interesting and really, really funny. Have you ever wondered how a jitsuka would do a benchpress? What about craziness you can do with a 25 lb plate, a 10 lbs mini ball, a 14.5 lb kettle ball and, I kid you not, a 25 lb [...]

What’s new?
First thing’s first, congratulations to Charlee on her blue belt. She’s been training off and on for about 3 years, but has really kicked it into high gear lately and it shows. And check out this video that Matt Hickney put together for Rick. Very cool: BJJ training is moving right along. I’ve been training [...]
GB In School Tournament, Refereeing and Back to the Mats
Great jiu jitsu weekend. On Saturday, I got to try my hand at refereeing. It was… well, harder than I thought it would be. With a gimpy back, but a desire to participate in the sport and support the growing BJJ/Sub Grappling community in the Pacific NorthWest, I help Jeff of Liberty Events as much [...]
Staph Infection
I posted this on Facebook already, so for my Facebook buddies, this is a repeat. I got bit by a bug or something on my left elbow… noticed it on Monday. By Wednesday, it was clearly becoming a problem, so I went to the doctor and was prescribed an antibiotic. She didn’t seem overly concerned, [...]

A Friend in Need
I’ve written about Crusher on my blog in the past. He’s the guy that made me seriously question whether I was right for BJJ. I saw him and thought, “Oh crap. I’m in the wrong place!” As is the case with most BJJ guys, though, Crusher is a very cool guy. When I began training [...]
I Survived the New Year and All I Got Was This Lousy Shirt
Christmas was awesome, but… there were a few snags. For some reason, someone gets sick in our house for Christmas. Every year. Sometimes it’s only one person, and sometimes, such as this year, it makes a run through the entire house. Christmas morning we awoke to the sounds of my oldest puking loudly in the [...]
Good Class Yesterday
I came to some conclusions and made some decisions. A few weeks back, I mentioned that I was going to work with a chiropractor that I trust. Dr. Sean trains with us at my school and were it not for him, I would likely never consider chiropractic care as a viable option. The only problem [...]
