Happy Holidays..
Heyy everyone happy holidays. But let me just say im not a fan of these days, christmas, and so forth.

Look i dont need a holiday to buy the people i care for gift. I dont want to just bag on xmas, but ive also spent the last 4 years in the...

Check out Dan "Micro" Faggella
Probably my favorite, and most consistant training assest in brazilian jiu-jitsu, non other then Danny. If you get a chance check out his website / blog, i HIGHLY recommend it. It will blow you away that someone could think about jiu-jitsu the way this kid does. He’s a Blue belt under Mat Santos but oh by the way this guys pretty goood, not only has he won multiple NAGA’s,...

My new hero...David Goggins
Saw this a blog post abou David Goggins at RossTraining.com. Sometimes you feel like you havent done much in lifethen there are times like this when you feel like you havent evenlooked up high enough to even begin scratching the surface. “When you think you are done, you’re only 40 percent into what your body is capable of doing. That’s just a limit that we put on ourselves.”

Jiu jitsu MANUAL!?
So i got my hands on Saulo Ribeiro’s Jiu Jitsu University. There are a handful of website to have reviewed this book, so ill just briefly say what I like and dont like about it. For one im a huge fan Xande and Saulo’s bjj games, they’re technical, efficient in every aspect of jiujitsu that ive seen when they compete, which means to mean they dont make to many mistakes when they...

Pumped for Jiu-Jitsu University by Saulo Ribeiro

I haven’t ever seen jiu-jitsu analyzed this way and I’m sure many will agree - this book is incredible. This system also follows the building blocks of...
