brotherhood. We’re all from different countries, speak different languages, work different jobs, but come together a few nights a week to practice killing each other more efficiently. We shake hands, bow, laugh about our losses and congratulate one another on our victories.

Every jiu jitsu gym I’ve ever visited had these things in common: If you come in with an ego it will get flatlined. If you come as a stranger you will leave with friends. If you don’t drill the martial aspects you will get humbled. If you don’t respect the art you will be out classed. We hold each other accountable, but your progress is your responsibility.

Struggling with takedowns? Well unless you face your fears and shoot and fail and shoot and drill you will get sprawled on forever. Proof of work. The community can help you reframe the problem. You wouldn’t have an issue shooting if you fixed your posture when you got to the knees. If you keep shooting head down you’re gonna get guillotined brather. Try a new approach.

If you fall off the way no one is going to bring you back to class. But when you find yourself they will always welcome you with open arms as long as you come ready to work & learn.

We learn together and experience the hardest part of our days as a team. The rest of life is cake by comparison.

Get out there and find your jiu jitsu or community. Try new things. There is no time for excuses in this life. Push yourself.

What is your core limiting belief?

Okay now that that’s off your chest, stop being a bitch and go build that life and community you want for yourself. It sounds simple, but it will be one of the most challenging & rewarding things you do in this life. Oss 🤙

Buteyko breathing immediately comes to mind.

Your CO2 levels in your blood are what makes you feel out of breath. Training your mind to be ok with the discomfort of elevated CO2 levels is behind many of these techniques.

CO2 dilates blood vessels increasing blood circulation & reducing inflammation. Blocked noses are usually caused by inflamed sinuses & not an excess of snot. A simple test when you have a blocked nose is to hold your breath while walking around the room. This quickly builds CO2 levels in the blood without the discipline of slowed breathing (eg with buteyko breathing). 1 quick session is enough to temporarily unblock a nose to breath slowly.

Interestingly buteyko was discovered by a doctor observing that sick people breathed rapidly & shallowly (usually through their mouth).

I see a campfire as your banner on your profile - I like fire, fire good ooga fucking booga. You get a follow.

My accountant just told me I need the cost basis of every zap I've ever received "as a gift" so if ya'll wouldn't mind passing along that info, that'd be great. Lol...jk. The IRS is cooked.

3+ years ago, my buddy Conor told me about his dream to start a Chocolate company while helping me make my 2021 wine vintage.

HE'S FINALLY OPEN!

I'll be sending a bar of his chocolate in every one of my February Wine Club shipments.

It's so cool watching friends succeed 💪🍷
