F CANCER 2.0

With October just around the corner, Day By Day and MonkeyTape team up once again to pay homage to Breast Cancer Awareness. Together, we created a kimono that would spread awareness of the continued fight against breast cancer and give remembrance for those we have lost to this battle.
Mahalo to our friends Rod & Nancy for being our models for this special project.

Joe Rogan talking Monkey Tape on the mic
When the conversation is about performance, durability, and real training, this is what comes up.
No gimmicks. No fluff. Just tape that survives war.
Some rounds were fought on the mats. Others were fought within myself. Both made me stronger 💪 🙏

Early mornings.
Late nights.
No applause.
No shortcuts.
That’s the difference.
End of the year reflection: grateful doesn’t even cover it. In a few months we’ll hit 10 years || ten years of showing up, learning, and building brick by brick. And I’m especially grateful and excited that we’re still building on Made in the USA. If you’re chasing something big: stay consistent. You’re closer than you think. 🇺🇸
2025-We finished #2 in the World both overall and in my weight class!
Not bad for the toughest year we’ve had due to injuries!
Thank you to EVERYONE near and far who have supported our journey! We are far from done so please stay tuned for 2026!!!!

Each tournament has a story…
This one is a story of adversity…
Signed up for ultra heavy to FAFO and that I did indeed. Two opponents no showed so I went straight to the finals. The gorilla I fought popped my ankle about 7 times two different toe hold attempts but I never tapped and fought to the end with my all. I went to medical and had them tape up my ankle for the absolute. Won first match in absolute which put me in the finals. I told the guy if he even looks at my ankle I’m tapping knowing he’s an ankle lock specialist. He went for it so I tapped. End of story end of the tournament. Still proud, still excited for this journey!
Thank you to my BEAUTIFUL WIFE @bri.kempton for always being my loudest and biggest fan! I love you beyond words!!! You’re my ride or die đź¤

I came prepared and I was seconds away from the World Finals match. I have no excuses. It's on me. I'll be back at the academy and ready to keep working. All gas, No brakes (breaks). ⛽️
Thanks to my Professors, my teammates, and to my sponsors for all your support. My friends and family, love you.
I am not waiting for 2026. Next season starts now.
