We got to visit with Mark too!  Those of you who've been around for a while will remember Mark from when he was an OG Spartan…(that's Original Gangster)…still shredded….still cranking out multiple, no-kip muscle-ups!

 Sustainability   “How much evil throughout history could have been avoided had people exercised their moral acuity with convictional courage and said to the powers that be, ‘No, I will not. This is wrong, and I don’t care if you fire me, shoot me, pass me over for promotion, or call my mother, I will not participate in this unsavory activity.’ Wouldn’t world history be rewritten if just a few people had actually acted like individual free agents rather than mindless lemmings?” – Joel Salatin (Quoted by John Welbourn in his blog, Talk To Me Johnny)

 

 Blended Workouts For Bolstered Jiu-Jitsu  "What do you feel counts more in Jiu-Jitsu—technique or strength? 

The right answer is that they both count. The combination of strength and technique is vital for attaining tournament success, as well as for keeping amateur practitioners from suffering injuries."—Junior Samurai for GracieMag.com
