Chris Haueter has been one of the larger influences on how I approach jiu jitsu. Always a great opportunity to train with him. #combatbase #wearematfitness #defenderbjj
Training with the Machado family has provided me with opportunities I never expected when I started training BJJ. In Texas this weekend I had the opportunity to learn from coral belts in BJJ, UFC fighters, Olympic Judo athlete, and one of the biggest names in metal. Zoltan was a fantastic instructor and truly exemplifies the greatness of some of the people you meet rolling. Hopefully Carlos found it funny we staged a photo on his podcast. Thanks again for everything Jerry!

Friday night training with the nicest guy in jiu jitsu, my friend Marco Santos. Saturday was an opportunity to train with Dave Kama, one of the original dirty dozen. Who are your instructors training with?
On June 2 my father passed away after a long illness at the age of 78. As a Sgt in the Army during the Vietnam war, he developed his commitment to duty, honor and discipline. This was the foundation he built his life around and instilled in his two sons and daughter. He was married to the love of his life for 56 years. The same values and commitment he exhibited in life are now being passed down to his five grandchildren. Thank you for shaping me into the man I am today. You’ll be miss. Love ya Dad.
