The strongest ones are not those who show strength in front of us but those who win battles we know nothing about

You don’t often see it but we do a lot of laughing in between training 😂 Hoping everyone out there has a great day and a productive weekend.

It is a sad sight to see a person chase the comforts of money more than the challenge of their children(or destiny). Have heard a lot of talk about financial freedom and passive income. I understand the concept and it’s appeal, but having the ability to work is one of the most valuable gifts we will ever get, providing we are doing the work we were put here to do. You have already won the lottery, the only question is, what are you gonna do with it? ▪️Here’s a thought. Work hard, be CONSISTENT and learn as much as you possibly can. Shortcuts, handouts and easy ways don’t exist. They are illusions that lead backwards. Take care of your health, great work requires a lot of energy and stamina 😉

As much as this video is a great example of a tech

As much as this video is a great example of a technique that is perfectly timed and executed, its also a great example of life. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of hours spent practicing a technique that you are granted only a small window of time to execute. All of it has nothing to do with winning or losing, and everything to do with experiencing that unmistakeable feeling of genuine satisfaction for giving your absolute best. But losing sucks, and most people only see the winner in videos like these. It’s almost as if the watcher assumes the person that lost just sort of tripped, fell and landed in this video. Like they didn’t spend hundreds of hours training for this moment too. Well they did, but these are the risks we agree to take when we wish to discover our potential. Some days we are the hammer, some days we are the nail. But it is a universal law, no risk, no reward. Have fun. Go train 🤙

Once upon a time this was our reality. 18 to 22 ho

Once upon a time this was our reality. 18 to 22 hours a day for almost 3 weeks. My hands were so swollen I had to soak them in buckets of ice every morning to get them to work properly. Maya had so much fun playing with the tools and helping us 😍 Will never forget the faces of those that took time out of their personal lives to help out. What we do with our spare time says a lot about the type of person we are. Some folks with absolutely no “trade skills” showing up to offer sweeping, cleaning, bringing food or anything else that could have been done. Would do it all over again in a heartbeat ❤️ Have a feeling we will be doing it again soon 🤗

Woke up to a flat tire on my truck this morning at 5am. Midway through changing to a spare a man walked by with his dog and said “what bad way to start the day”. I smiled and said it’s not so bad, better here than on the side of a road. He paused for a second and then agreed in a semi-surprised tone of voice. It’s also good exercise I joked. That is a hell of an attitude to have this early in the morning he said. And I haven’t even had my coffee yet I replied 😜 moral: don’t sweat the little things. It could always be worse. Find a way to laugh it off 🤙▪️Your probably asking yourself at what point was I laughing. Well its dark that early in the morning and when placing the jack under the frame of the truck, I laid down on a FULL container of barbecue sauce from McDonald’s. By the sound of it exploding and the volume of sauce on my ass and back, I could tell it hadn’t been opened yet. As soon as the smell hit my nose, I couldn’t help but smile and think. This. Was a hell of a way to start the day 😂

Love, good food, exercise, discipline and a good role model. Give your child the necessities and the world is theirs 😍 A good collar drag and rear naked choke helps too 😉

You just show up. There is no shortcut, no rulebook, no secret handshake, no specialized equipment, diet or pill that will get you there. The secret to mastery is simply showing up more times than staying home 😉

Want to test your balance and conditioning? Run down a mountain. Just make sure your boots stay tied. Safety first 😉

Movement is a fundamental aspect of life. It affects everything from circulation to digestion to metabolism to immunity. People who are physically active are also far more productive. Research suggests that sitting for long durations may contribute to serious negative health outcomes such as cardiac complications, increased risk for certain cancers, and even early mortality. - Mayo Clinic ▪️In an annual report from the CDC in 2017, it listed the total number of deaths in the United States was 2.8 million people. Of that total, more than 700,000 of those deaths were from heart disease 😳▪️Want some good advice? Move more than you sit. and maybe do a couple of Jiu Jitsu lessons. No one moves better than us 😉

There is an unfortunately large amount of human beings with this kind of attitude. Been there a few times myself. How does one untie their mind? Reading books, learn to get comfortable feeling uncomfortable and stay in the company of good people. The rest isn’t up to us 🤗

Pay attention to your mood / energy level AFTER yo

Pay attention to your mood / energy level AFTER you eat. Contrary to popular belief and daily habits our belly doesn’t need to be filled every 6-8 hours. You would be surprised how much more energy you have when you either skip a meal or at the very least keep it extremely light. It gets even more powerful when you apply it to things like tv, the news, technology and even some annoying people 😂
