Dad asked how his son how he felt after the dojo?
The Son Replied.. “Like a Bad a _ _”
… The Growth of confidence in a young soul is beautiful thing.
I was just having this conversation with another black belt…
I’ve literally done about every school sport possible…Basketball, baseball, football, volleyball, swimming, track and field, gymnastics…
They are all awesome and even though I do have LOVE for these sports…
and they will build confidence in you…
Yet, the personal growth you get with a COMBATIVE sport…
Whether it be Kenpo Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, boxing etc…
the way you get to know yourself and what your capable of is quite amazing…
Many people say combat sports is about beating someone up… that’s a byproduct… but thats total bs.,..
No its not about having the ability to smash a bully into the ground, strangling him unconscious in 5 seconds or knock him out with a head kick… even though YOU WILL earn these skills …
I believe its simply about BEING BETTER THEN YOU WERE YESTERDAY…
Its You Vs You man.,.
When you start to become better your confidence grows.
When You don’t train, you suck more… and your confidence keeps score. One of my favorite quotes is about Miyamoto Musashi… He saids… “The Way Is In The Training”…
I 100% agree.Interested in training with some awesome people?

Kamerons Buddies noticed he’s More Flexible Than All His Friends in PE Class?
Kameron Said “I noticed all the kids in my PE Class CAN’T do the butterfly stretch”
… He then demonstrated how high their knees were…
and I said… “well, thats normal man…
You, Nery, Travis, aren’t normal… We’re different…
those kids didn’t have the luxury of a instructor torturing them every day for 5 years like you did with martial arts… and then I laughed.”
After you get good at the butterfly stretch, the next move I like to go into the “Lotus stretch”…
after you get good at the ‘Lotus’ the next is the “Full Lotus” where you lift your body off the ground while holding the stretch…..
Just showing up and training in Martial Arts will give you ungodly weird strength and flexibility…

Teddy told his dad Jonny Mack, he had to get his gear on before coming to the dojo!

Giovanni (a 15 Year old) Smashing adults on a weekly base…
Giovanni (a 15 Year old) Smashing adults on a weekly base…
In this case the adult is Chino 
(who’s no damn slouch either)
Here’s Gio, performing the north south kimura…
Once it gets locked in, the opponent only has moments to tap or get their arm broken.
Fun Fact: The Kimura has history… Not only is it one of the most powerful submissions in grappling.
The submission became famous when Masahiko Kimura used it to defeat Helio Gracie in a grappling match.
Gio is damn good! He’s been training with us close to 5 years?
People look at Gio and see a kid, thats super friendly, cleans his room, does his homework… And thats all true… I see a highly disciplined, intelligent young man, that is still a (kid) Yet, destroys adults. (fighting someone his own size and age would be ungodly unfair)…
His parents Augie and Amanda put him into our dojo 5 years ago… Their investment in their kid has payed off… Very proud of you young man..
(Plus his little bro Anthony is making amazing strides as well’…) you can see his brain firing and understanding the positions… Watch out for these little ninjas. (they already are gettin damn good, I can’t imagine what they will be like when their 18).

It Never Gets EASIER… You Just Get STRONGER
I remember watching an episode of the Simpsons …
not one of the recent famous ones where they predict the future 
but the one were bart meets himself…
Bart is laying in bed and another bart is sitting on the edge his bed starring at him.
Bart ask: “Who are you”Barts copy replies: “I AM YOU… BUT STRONGER”.
Damn that resonated with me.
There are few things in life that will actually make you stronger mentally and physically…
The dojo is that place for me.

Jiu Jitsu Dads Are Bad A _ _
“Dojo-Dad Are Truly Bad A _ _”
Here is Aaron Adam Drilling with who happens to be His Best Friend Jonny Mack… While his ‘other best friend’ Elias (Aarons son) watches and smiles….
Review From Aaron: “Hey Jack, I just wanted to say thank you in general for letting me come back to the Dojo and picking up where I left off. I am and my family notices how important it is for my mental well being that I am back at the Dojo and how it important it is for me.”
I wish I could share my love ❤️ of Kenpo Jiu Jitsu with everyone yet time and my schedule don’t allow that to happen.
Adam had perfect timing on joining our dojo as he got one of our last openings. I am very proud of you in how far you’ve come and look forward to your continuous improvement amigo!
Yet …right now I am about 100% at Capacity.

Cool Hack For Training
Little Man Ryder Rocking his dojo workout…
while in the back ground his sister Raegan is pumping out pushups with my daughter ( she’s getting ready for her workout … I make all kids do a full body workout before their lessons).
One of the big concepts to earning anything life is “time under pressure”…
for example, in fitness…how long your lifting the object with 10 quick reps that are done in 10 seconds or 10 … 4 second reps that are done in 40 seconds.
Literally one rep if the second group is worth 4 sets of the 10 second exercise.
The same thing goes with “Slow-is-Smooth” practice…
Which is what I am doing with Ryder in the picture.
Right now I am spending more time at the end of his kick to wire in how it feels when completing a fully extended side kick.
Just by holding the position for 10 seconds, it will be better than doing 10 kicks.
Through the concept of time under pressure you can easily make leap and bounds in your training.
Now normally I would say if your interested in joining a an awesome group of people I highly recommend you do what Ryder and Raegan did and take our 100% Risk Free Trial.
But …right now I am about 100% at Capacity.
I don’t have room for anymore people on my schedule.
And then I’d say something along the lines of “If your interested in getting personal 1-on-1 instruction, that fit your needs, on your schedule and get you the result you want while having fun, making friends, learning cool stuff I highly recommend you call us at 541-608-2848.

“Sounds pretty damn fair to me go ahead and call 541-608-2848.” BUT my last spots are gone…
The next best thing is to be put on the wait-list. (3 people are ahead of of you) (I will follow up with you in the order of receiving your applications.
Right now I have a lady who’s joining the Local MPD 1st inline, a Lady Basketball player from SOU on the wait list and a good friend and student of mine …Travis recommend his best friend kid to join us is 3rd on the wait list.
Are you Opposed to Becoming MORE FLEXIBLE, Stronger and Lose weight all while having fun?
Are you Opposed to Becoming MORE FLEXIBLE, Stronger and Lose weight all while having fun? Sport Specific Exercise are a game changer…
I highly recommend you try something different like SSE. Here is me showing Jessie a way to strengthen grips and wire in Omote Sankaku at the same time.
(Almost every grappling match starts with grips. If you win the grip fight, you can win the fight).
So what is SSE? Sport-specific training is simply fitness and performance training designed to help a task that your going to do in a sport…
I personally switched all my exercises over to sport specific training about 12 years ago and have never looked back.
If you’re an athlete or wishing to become a better one… you’ll reap massive results… by changing to SSE.
As soon as you do it, you’ll find yourself becoming more flexible, stronger, have almost zero injuries (which is the big one for me)..and you’ll find yourself to be ungodly strong in weird possession compared to normal people.
I was just teaching another local personal trainer who teaches strength training and we were talking about why I personally switched to more Body weight exercises with SSE Goals… And why she’s doing the same.
Most injuries in sports happen from not training on a 3 dimensional plane, they usually just train a forward and back motion, or purposely don’t train past a 90 degree angle because your body becomes weaker.
Whats funny, In Jiu Jitsu this is our PRIMARY goal. We ARE trying to injure you so our entire goal is to get you where you body is weak and snap you or tap you. It would make since then to become more, flexible and stronger in those naturally dangerous areas…
If you don’t have a heavy weight gi like the one I am using you can simple roll up a towel throw It over your pull up bar or branch out side and practicing pull ups.. once you get the hang of it, you can invert yourself like I did and practicing your omote sankaku while supporting all your bodyweight with your tendon strength.
(If you think you might fall flat on your face, I highly recommend you video tape it so you can send it to me hahaha… also put a pillow down, so you don’t die a horrible death)
Now normally I would say if your interested in joining a bad a _ _ awesome group of people I highly recommend you do what Jessie did and take our 100% Risk Free Trial.
But …right now I am about 100% at Capacity. I don’t have room for no more people on my schedule.

A good friend mr Jonny Mack gave me grass fed organic steak as a birthday present!
Thank you buddy!!!
Miss Leighton has went from “too shy to say hi” …. “To given bloody lips and head kicks”…
Pretty Damn Cool Present I got from Miss Leighton.. I remember when she 1st came to us.. Miss Leighton has went from “too shy to say hi” …. “To given bloody lips and head kicks”…
as her instructor and friend I am super proud of her…
She reminds me a lot of my sweet Emmy Jane… Probably the nicest, sweetest girl you could have as a friend but if you cross her, she’ll take your head off.
(Which as a Dad, that’s exactly what I want in my daughter.)
To NOT be mean… But To Be Very nice..
And then when being nice isn’t an option…Then I want her highly trained on how to Violently Defend Herself, or Her Friends.
Leighton started training because her dad James…
James has been a life long martial artist and has trained with the likes of Paul Vunak (who trained with one of Bruce Lees Most famous student Dan Insanto…
Paul Vunak also did Hand 2 Hand instruction for seal team 6.
Why do I bring that up? Because after doing our Risk Free Trial James Chose to train at our dojo about 6 years ago and hasn’t stopped.
Plus he gave me the highest compliment you could ever give someone… he brought his daughter into train with us. Thats awesome.
Now normally I would say if your interested in joining a bad a _ _ awesome group of people I highly recommend you do what Leighton and James did and take our 100% Risk Free Trial.
