A Few months ago marked my 20th year in the beautiful martial art that changed and moulded my life to where I am now. I remember jumping into my first tournament after 2 months of training, I got killed…but that feeling of getting smashed stuck with me and still fuels me to compete and test myself to this day. To say things have changed in the last 20 years is an understatement, lots of ups and plenty of downs but i managed to navigate it all with the help and support of my students/team. I was never meant to be a “leader” but I know that’s the one responsibility that helped get me through those tough times, one thing all my students past and present can say about me it’s that I don’t quit and hopefully when times eventually get rough for them then can look at the old guy and realize if someone like me can persevere ….so can they 👊Bjj has very little to do with chokes, medals or fame….its about who you are…your gritt and staying true to yourself, your team and the ones you love…..that’s it To all my Students, teammates and friends I wish you all a very happy 2026! See you all on the Mats and remember…you don’t have to be a Hero in everyone’s story….just be authentic! 👊🤘..#renzogracie #bjj #jiujitsu #martialarts #family by @rgwestisland

Noonmark Mountain…Lets take a walk 🥾I always recommend this hike to anyone before attempting a real high peak! It has it all minus the 4 mile walk to a trailhead. Even though it’s not considered a high peaks it’s definitely not easy, elevation starts pretty much immediately…3 false summits and lots of scrambling towards the top. The peak does offer some of the best views in the Adirondacks though so I highly recommend! It’s also nice the trial head is just minutes from the parking lot.I wouldn’t recommend this to beginner hikers if it rained the night before and the tail is wet…the scrambles can get a bit tricky at the top and can be tough when wet. Other then that get out there and have fun! See you on the trials. 🤘🦝#hike #adirondacks #nature #view #health by @rgwestisland

Take a Walk with Me to Beaver/Rainbow Falls 🌈 2026Always like to Start my first Hike of the Adirondacks Season with this beautiful loop! With the snow melting from the surrounding mountains the waterfalls power is on full display👊 Loop is about 13km with very little elevation and suited for all hiking levels, you can always add in Indian Head if you feel like getting some elevation with an always breathtaking view 💯See you all on the trails! 🤘🦝😊#Adirondacks #adk #newyork #hiking #nature by @rgwestisland
