Keeping with the theme of world travel, I decided that I would share a desire of mine to visit the Apulia region of Italy, not for the scenery, but for the olive oil. I was introduced to the beauty of olive oil when I was around 20 years old. A friend of mine brought me […]
Which Blog Platform Should You Choose?
You’ve already decided to become a hugely famous blogger. You know what you want to write and you know why you want to write it. Perfect. It really is the way to go and I fully support your decision, but at this critical stage, you need to make a few very important choices. Hosted? Installed? […]
What Is Jiu-Jitsu Flow Rolling?
There is a serious epidemic sweeping the nation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It afflicts nearly every academy countrywide and greatly hinders student progress and advancement. It’s something that can be easily corrected, if we only accept that we need to change some things we’ve learned in life so far. So dramatic. If I asked each and […]
Simple Sitemap Plugin For WordPress

Can You Live a Jiu-Jitsu Centric Life?
I’m going to do my best to not get philosophical during this post. A bit of my personal philosophy may creep in here and there, but I’ll try my best to be as normal a human as possible. Listen, we are all in the same boat. Life is going to throw us curve ball after […]

FeedBurner vs. a Monthly Website Newsletter – It’s a Matter Of Time
A very long time ago, I learned that in order to get what you want, you need to take it. Now, I know this flies in the face of many lessons we may have learned during our younger years – give to others, share, don’t take things, etc…Well, the problem with lessons like that is […]
Jiu-Jitsu Rolling: Jay and John
Whenever I roll with John, I have no idea how it’s going to turn out. He is a very unpredictable man. He’s also quite strong, so I oftentimes have a challenge on my hands. Last night, John and I enjoyed two rolling sessions, only one of which was worth putting online. The other, I don’t […]
