Please study your local and state laws when protecting yourself in your home and on the streets. Know your rights. This conversation opened up my eyes big time. Most will call this Paranoid, but the few call it being well prepared This episode was all about being aware of your surroundings and making sure you and your family are safe 100% of the time. Ivan is a very respected practitioner in hand to hand combat , knife combat and a great instructor at the range. We went through a lot of things that one can do for their house to be better protected and also things to do and be aware of out in public. He tried to generalize for majority of the public and I wanted to try and get to the people that think nothing will happen to them or are unaware of proper cover and conceal. You may be someone who already knows what to do, but I encourage you to listen and maybe you can pull something out of this conversation to add to your daily routine..…

Everyone is a statistic, but what if you were on the high percentage of the failing spectrum and you had to flip the switch to overcome the odds? Listening to Mr. Anthony Trucks story is exactly that. The cards were stacked against him and he had to fight and drive on in order to get to where he is now. Being a foster kid and in the system in Contra Costa County to becoming a savage linebacker in the NFL. That wasn't it though, listen in on his story to hear what happened after his NFL life and how he became very strong minded from his younger years to now. One Highlight I wanted to share on video is his story when he went to Oregon and going against Oklahoma in his last bowl game in college. He had a huge strip and fumble recovery at the goal line against no other than Adrian Peterson.....

Jake Shannon and I talked about it all, because this man has many avenues to talk about. People who grapple know him as the man who has studied the most about Catch Wrestling straight from Karl Gotch and Billy Robinson and doing his best to keep it pure and true to its roots. Unconventional Athletes know him as the man who brought the Steel Mace to America in a time when kettle bells were the big movement. If you love books... Well you can find some of his books he has written. From Economics to catch wrestling, to politics. The shorter list is, What does this man not do? Biggest take away for me was for him entrepreneurship is less risky than a single job.. That stuck with me , because I never really thought about it in a sense of having many fires going and knowing when to tend to each fire when necessary. If all you have is one fire and it goes out, What do you do? He also mentioned once you become familiar with entrepreneurship, you learn how to make money anywhere. There is a good percentage of us that fall into that 1 secure job to give us our income for 40+ years. But the way Jake thinks is amazing with all of his previous and current endeavors. It really opened my eyes to much more in this world and what you can do to enjoy the things you do and live the life you wanted making money with the things you love. This episode was great to pick his brain and get to know this man with many ventures... After this episode check out what he is doing currently with some of his business' that I highly recommend. Also if your looking for other Catch Wrestlers, he named about 10+ in this episode and has connections pretty much anywhere to train and learn the Old School Way.

To look more into what we were talking about on this podcast go to Gripedo's main website https://www.gripedo.com There is a reason why this episode was 2 hours long plus a bonus episode of Emre and I talking before the episode. He is a super genuine guy and had so much to discuss. I can see why customer service is so great at his company. He sets the high standard to keep people happy with his passion and product. What is this Gripedo you ask? Well it is one piece of equipment that can help out with tennis elbow and also improve your grip by activating the fingers and more of a stretched out position. We are so used to gripping dumbbells and barbells at the gym and that only works a little bit of your forearm and hands. But put your hand on one of these and find out how healthy your grip and hands can become. If you check out his Instagram page, you will see that his invention has made across all major sport platforms. His main focus with this tool is for the Grapplers of the world, since he was a high level Judoka. I encourage everyone who has forearm problems and also needs to work on grip, this is the answer to most problems. Emre Studied Biomedical Engineering and has even written a book called, Strength Revolution: Unconventional Guide to Strength and Conditioning.

I know a lot of us read books to improve ourselves on a daily for work, life, or sport. Its great to find read these types of books and follow these famous authors and well known public figures, but it is very awesome to find someone like this in our local community. This interview was a great look into the career of Fernando Lopez and his profession of Mental Coaching. I am always getting in my own head and it causes me to get stuck in a lot of things. Fernando gave some helpful hints and the biggest take away was Deliberate Practice. Even though the majority of work is towards military personnel, he is willing to help others break through some barriers in any sport. Sabre Academy is very lucky to have another great person on the mats that is willing to help.

Do you get anxiety or even claustrophobic? How about cramps or even those nasty headaches due to stress or over exertion? I sat down with Miles Lukas , who earned his Blackbelt in Jiu Jitsu under Dave Camarillo (Guerilla Jiu Jitsu) and took steps necessary to become certified directly under Wim Hof for the power of breathing. Miles says it best in the podcast that we all know how to breathe , but just like the muscles we train at the gym to become stronger, you must do the same with your lungs. I have personally taken his zoom class due to the current situation that we face, but I look forward to going to one of his live seminars to experience both Breathing techniques and Ice Bath Submersion. Personally I believe all of us can benefit from this especially in the grappling world even if you do his beginner zoom class. Since this interview I wanted to do this exercise every morning to start my day to give Miles feedback later on. I encourage any gym or martial arts academy to book him for a group session.

Sabre Tooth Tiger Series with Professor Bryant Pangelinan Sabre Series - Episode #1 I wanted to do a series to get to know all of the great instructors and owners of the Sabre Jiu Jitsu Family. This is where my journey has started and continues to grow through amazing people on the mat. I remember the first time I made contact with him was when I asked if he wanted to rock one of my shirts from a clothing line I was trying to create called Dead to Sin. Not knowing me , he accepted the shirt and you can still see those on some of his gi's today. May not seem much to a random person, but that little contact at the time was a reason why I wanted to learn jiu jitsu under the Sabre name. Through that small interaction and all the many interactions on the mat for the past 3 years gave me a chance to observe a guy that puts others first. He has provided a sanctuary for many to build themselves up with confidence in the art of grappling. Even though Sabre is a Jiu Jitsu academy, Professor Bryant is very adamant that everyone learn the different styles of grappling that Sabre provides.(ie...Wrestling and Judo). On top of that he has built an amazing kids program that gets huge help from his Nephew, who you will find out about in the interview. I encourage anyone who is ever in the Concord, CA area, to stop by and see and feel the positive vibes that radiate in this academy and its family.

Professor Dom Hoskins has always been raised to press forward and speak up for what he believes in. The strength from his childhood and upbringing has made him such a solid human being. Talking with him gave me a sense of his compassion towards others from running his own academy, helping kids that are on the wrong path through a bay area Jiu Jitsu program, and wanting to bring more Jiu Jitsu to more inner city areas. If you know Dom, you know that he is a solid competitor with a hard work ethic on the mat and and a huge help referring in Fight 2 Win Promotion. But getting to know his background and what he is like off the mat will give you a better understanding of this highly motivated man.
