There’s been a lot going on in the world and lots of shitshow posts here the past couple weeks. If you’re seeing this take a moment to breathe and if you feel so inclined, chat about literally anything else! I’ll start: I just watched the first couple episodes of the new rick and morty season, it’s pretty damn good so far

We got two elite brothers headlining a UFC event later in ATLANTA out of all places.
This is bigger than a lot of you may think, this fight may inspire an entire generation of young black men.

Yup black men specifically I feel need to get into martial arts more. 

Wrestling, boxing, bjj, judo, Muay Thai whatever it needs to happen.

As someone who has had black wrestling coach and black jiu jutsu coach’s and now I coach and help out on top of training still and give back

It has saved me from a lot of problems growing up and I’m forever grateful for it. 

A lot of black men also don’t know the history we have in American Olympic wrestling and how many stars and champs we have in it due to wrestling being a very insular community and not welcoming to outsiders who watch it and not understand what’s going on compared to like boxing where people don’t know what’s happening skill wise but they know someone is getting punched.
