“There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter” Ernest Hemmingway

“There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter”

When I first read this quote, I instantly resonated with it and transposed the word “Armed” to “Trained”…

Like any sport… the greatest celebrated wins are when you are challenged…

it’s not the easy victory that you remember… its “highly trained’ man or women … thats out to get you… and you to get them…

I’ve done lots of crazy fun things in life and its true to me…

… 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?

I got this message the other day, it made my day…

I got this message the other day and it made my day… “Nov 2019 I was 300+lbs – At that time, I waited three hours in a line at Universal Studios to discover I was too fat to fit in their ride! During the incredibly awkward walk back through the line of hundreds of people, I was surprisingly not as embarrassed as I thought I would be, however, I felt motivated.

Today, I weigh 248 lbs with some more work to do for sure. Regardless, seeing the scale hit below 250 gave me the same feeling as I felt when I was walking away from that Universal ride. I need to thank you and Doc for all of your encouragement, support and dedication to your teachings.

After a lesson or class, particularly after a good sparring session, I feel tremendous. The environment, the people, Doc and you all inspire me to continue to work harder with my routine and habits. The Dojo is an environment that WILL change you for the better if you stay with it and trust and enjoy the journey.

Natalie, my lovely fiance, has dedicated time to lessons as well and I couldn’t be more proud of her! Seeing her develop skills, strength, and tools to protect herself makes me extremely grateful. Thank you Jack for all of your help, training and experience!”

Baby Mack in the House!!!

Baby Mack in the House!!!

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

Just so happens I have the same Bruce Lee top, so I had to put it on and snag a pic with little man!

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!

Review From Erik: I Haven’t been at this weight for over 20+ years!

Do you want FAST Weight+loss or LASTING Weight+loss?

Most people would chose they want Long-Term-Lasting or (LTL) Weight Loss.

So here’s the secret.

Simple is Sexy. Do NOT over complicate it.

I’ve helped hundreds of people lose weight… The big secret is whatever you do, it must be maintainable.

There are millions of ways to lose weight. Which is why all weight+loss programs work for a little bit then they fail.

( I know this failure by personal experience)… and then I finally found one that was Easily sustainable which is the secret.

Whatever you do, it must be sustainable.

Working out 7 days a week is NOT sustainable for me.

However l got this cool reminder on my Fb from an old friend/student Erik… He only worked out 2 times a week. (Yes 2 days a week) That is EASILY sustainable.

The secret for Erik, is he hung out in a dojo environment where he sparred which was (fun) he sweated while he was having fun.

He literally only worked out 2 times a week at the dojo and that was it…

After that he joined me 1 day a week in chest work out and went from dumb-bell pressing 45lbs in each arm a total of 90lbs to… to do 90lbs in each arm a total of 180lbs by the end of the year. Literally doubled his strength and loss his fat. He looked like a damn viking.

By the way all the results he got for FREE. The Fat loss was FREE, The strength Gain was FREE. He joined the dojo for Self-Defense and to become flexible and he accidentally got strong and lost weight while having fun. (Oh yah, he also got his flexibility better… he went from a crippled YOUNG man that drove truck, to being able to literally head kick dudes in sparring)

The key part of this entire post is “Sustainable FUN”…

One more example to lock this in…

Whats your favorite show?

I love Dexter, Breaking Bad, even Game of Thrones… Maybe you do to? Well, how much will power would it take for you to watch your favorite show? NONE… Right?

You just enjoy your favorite show because its fun so simply look forward to it… THATS EXACTLY what your workout should feel like.. And that’s exactly what I guarantee it will feel like.. So much Damn fun, you’ll be having a blast or your money back Guaranteed.

Now normally I would say if your interested in training and surrounding yourself with an awesome group of people I’d highly recommend you do what Erik did and take our 100% Risk Free Trial.

Yet …right now I am about 100% at Capacity.

I do have a waiting list… “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.

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.
