i wrote this because too many of us are taught to stay quiet, move in silence and hopefully everything will work out in our favour.

silence never opened a single door for me.

do you think silence helps or holds you back?

i’m interested to hear your thoughts👇 taken in Worldwide by @1vallen

tree five, still alive and we give tanks.. no battlefield

this past year has been one of deep reflection and recalibration. grateful for the blessings but more importantly the lessons.. cos even the adversity adds worth you see

i’ve learnt that peace can come at a heavy price and sometimes you might need to cut off a finger (or two) in order to save your arm. one of the hardest, yet most freeing things i’ve had to do, was step back from certain family members for my own sanity. i still love em, but not every bond can travel with you in the same closeness forever (i learnt that with friends, just didn’t know that applied to family too)

the devil will try to attack you in many ways, but God will always have the final say

and there’s a strange beauty in watching the old parts of yourself fall away like an old statue being chipped and weathered as the years go

not yet where i wanna be, but exactly where i need to be. as i step into this new chapter, the focus is ‘focus’

thank you to everyone in my life. i love yous.

glory be to God

There was a time when life looked very different.

The roads, the environment, the experiences…
it all shapes you.

But what matters is what you choose to do after.

Everything Valentino went through became part of the reason he made better decisions later in life.

Rest in peace Ricardo.

Full episode dropping soon.
Forward Motion Podcast.

In a time where these things weren’t readily available,
being around other creatives pushed Valentino to build something of his own.

What started as a home studio became a business.
A space to create.
A space to grow.

And in the process, it gave others around him a platform and inspiration to do the same.

Full episode with Valentino Themis dropping soon.

School wasn’t easy.

Rough beginnings & a Difficult environment =
Not the “perfect start” people think you need.

But that didn’t define how his story ended.

You don’t need the perfect start.
You just need to keep moving forward.

Full episode new episode with Valentino Themis coming soon to YouTube.

1% better each day 🩻🥋🥊 
i started training boxing and krav maga earlier this year and the impact it’s had on my life is something words alone can’t do justice, but i’ll try.
 most of you won’t know, but i have scoliosis, a condition where the spine twists and curves, often forming a ‘c’ or ’s’ shape (1 in 10,000 people have it). back in 2013 i had a spinal fusion operation where surgeons inserted 2 titanium rods and 14 screws into my back. i had to learn how to walk again and at one point they were even going to amputate my right leg. i trusted in god and told the surgeons to relax with that talk lol. 
since 2013, every moment i’m awake feels like i’m carrying heavy shopping bags in both hands all day, non-stop. it’s exhausting, it’s depressing at times, and some days it feels genuinely spirit breaking to live with this body. but fuck it, we ball. 
this isn’t a sob story. i just wanted to get this off my chest and bring some awareness to the effects of scoliosis, because i’m tired of repeating myself to people almost every week for the last 12 years (i’ll just direct them to this post.)

combat sports have given me a level of mental fortitude i never knew i had. stepping into the fight gym and onto the mats, it changes you. what feels like a light session for most is a mountain for me due to my condition, but i still show up every week and put the work in. it sharpens your discipline, your focus and your ability to keep going in life when everything in you wants to quit. 
i genuinely implore all of you, from adults to kids, to pick up one martial art at least once a week and reap the positive benefits and impact it will have on your life. boxing, krav maga, bjj, muay thai, whatever it is, just start. 
lastly, and most importantly, i wanna give a special shoutout to these amazing individuals that have been part of my journey so far. words can’t express the impact you’ve had on my life in such a short amount of time.
