We’ve been changing things up this Summer in Jiu Jitsu class. One, and the most obvious area we alter is our gi. We don’t wear it. The Summer months afford us something very special and that’s hot, sticky weather. To deal with this, we choose to roll no-gi. I really like this because I learned […]

Guest Instructor For Muay Thai
Today is Thursday. That means my body can take a day off before Saturday. When I wake up on Thursday mornings and realize that it is, in fact, Thursday, I give myself a little, “yes.” That means Muay Thai class is today and it also means that it’s over today. Don’t get me wrong, I […]
Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mount Bike Rack
One of Amazon.com’s best features is each item’s review section. For almost any product, you can visit Amazon.com and check out the public’s opinion of it. Pretty cool. But there’s something a little weird about the people who write the reviews. If you visit a product page at Amazon and scroll down to the review […]
Riding the Airline Rail Trail From North Westchester To Colchester, CT
This is two rides merged into one. I only have two decent pictures of the second ride, so I figured this was just easier. We have been astounded, that’s right, astounded at what we have been finding while riding on the Airline State Park and Rail Trail. Rivers, waterfalls, bridges, wetlands, big valleys with great […]
Jiu Jitsu: Second Blue Belt Stripe – Muay Thai: Purple Belt
Just a quick update of the more exciting aspects of my life…Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. Last week, I earned my purple belt in Muay Thai and a second stripe on my BJJ blue belt. I have been doing Muay Thai now for about ten months and Jiu Jitsu for almost two and a […]
Orange Belt in Muay Thai
After a fairly exhausting week of classes, I earned my orange belt in Muay Thai. It’s funny, just yesterday I noticed the belts ranks hanging on the wall right above the clock in the gym. I have looked at that clock more times than I care to discuss. Strange how I never noticed those belts […]
BJJ Spider Guard Sweep and Bicep Slicer from Spider Guard
Wednesday night was pretty exciting. We had a few guys from other schools come in to our BJJ class to teach us a some things and then spar with us later on. There were three guys; two brown belts and a purple belt. Names aren’t important. In Jiu Jitsu class, all I see is belt […]
BJJ Blue Belt First Stripe and Muay Thai Yellow Belt
This is simply a historical post to remind me of when I earned the first stripe on my blue belt for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and my yellow belt for Muay Thai. The BJJ blue belt stripe took about 10 months to get. I knew it was coming up, but didn’t know when. I have been […]
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – Banana Split
We had a friend from my Muay Thai school join us this morning for some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I was pretty excited about this because he was my guest. I never brought in a guest before, so I wanted to really make sure he enjoyed himself. This friend of mine is a blue belt. He’s […]
Muay Thai and Krav Maga
I haven’t mentioned it on this blog yet, but about four months ago, I joined a Muay Thai and Krav Maga school a few towns over. It’s been quite worthwhile. Here’s what happened – One day after Jiu Jitsu class, I was talking to one of the guys I train with. Unfortunately, this fella is […]
