Visiting Palm Coast, Florida From Hartford, Connecticut

Last weekend, we decided to take a quick trip to Palm Coast, Florida. On Saturday, we made all the reservations we needed and on Tuesday, we were in the air. Amazing what one can do with the internet these days. I want to give a quick rundown and semi-review of what we experienced during this […]

New Koral Purple Belt

I know I just made purple belt not more than a few weeks ago, but there was a small issue I had to deal with. My new purple belt wasn’t all that purple. And it wouldn’t stay tied. I thought it was purple the night of the promotions. When compared to the blue belts of […]

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 […]

Visiting Roquefort, France – For the Cheese

I was talking to a good buddy two nights ago when I mentioned that I wanted to visit Roquefort, France. Not for the scenery, but for the cheese. My other good buddy got me hooked on Roquefort a few years ago. Now it’s the only pungent cheese I eat. If you haven’t tried it, head […]

Marcio Stambowsky and Jay Demonstrating a Jiu-Jitsu Technique

A while back, Marcio Stambowsky visited our club for a seminar. As usual, we all gained a lot of good information that we still use today. I oftentimes use the roll under mount escape Marcio mentioned in passing the day of the seminar. He wasn’t teaching that technique – I think someone asked a question […]

Can the Love of Travel Steal Your Soul?

I know, my title is so dramatic. Seriously though, after you read the article I read, I think you’ll see it differently. I haven’t done much in the way of travel in the past five years. I’ve been working kind of hard. All that work has taken it’s toll and I think I’m just about […]

Jiu-Jitsu Rolling: Jay and Chris

If you watched my previous video, you’ll notice that Chris is in contrast to Zach. When sparring with Chris, I am forced to use much more strength and pressure. I understand that Jiu-Jitsu relies primarily on technique, but strength does creep in here and there. Chris is an extremely tough competitor. He wasn’t easy to […]

Cliff Diving In Malta

There are a few things I want to do fairly soon. One of them is to start traveling more. This desire to travel is part of the impetus behind this new website. I’ve had the domain for years, but just recently discovered the newfound urge to do something with it. I really have three goals […]
