POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I chatted with @theoperationalstandard a few weeks ago, and he brought up “athletic capital.” It’s the concept of cumulative mental and physical stress over the years in athletes. It’s not just physical; it’s mental.

It’s understanding that if you have a history of sport/competition, you have to adapt to what you are now and not what you used to be or wish you were.

I would love to be the athlete I was, but it’s impossible. I deal with aches and pains and I will be damned if I am going to allow my training to contribute to it at this stage of my life.

I have to adapt, move forward, be smarter, think about quality of training rather than chasing numbers or size. I need to treat myself like I want to be able to move well at 65 years old, and not treat myself as if I can’t put my ego aside.

We’ve all seen people like that, and honestly it is sad to see. It pains me to see someone who refuses to embrace their current self.

It’s not quitting. It is the exact opposite of quitting.

It’s adapting so you can continue to make progress and continue to train.

App update:

Ryan has been busting his ass to make the CMS better at data logging. This means a cleaner picture of what you need to do, it’s easier to log, and we actually have meaningful data to use down the line.

If you’re not sure where to start, head to get.soflete.app and jump on the “Basic 1” cycle. You get a no strings attached two week free trial.

6 weeks out from a redo on the knee replacement.

The tibia will need to be shaved down more with a larger plate and anchor into the bone.

This will allow for a longer center post on my prosthetic;

My femur connection of the prosthetic has been slipping forward and dislocating - skipping over the shorter post.

So.... it's not "Restarting from scratch" , but it is still almost like a repeat of the knee replacement.

I wanted to feel back for myself, but then I realized that I've done this all before.

I've rehabbed and worked and turned myself around to become a better athlete even after the original surgery.

I can do it again.

Reminding myself that I engage in Voluntary Hardship daily. So that when life introduces it to me - I've already conditioned myself to handle the load.

Excited to continue the next 6 weeks getting into the best shape I can with the help of @theoperationalstandard - and then 6 weeks until another release to really build back on the legs again.

1 weekend to eat and do whatever I want
6 weeks to maximize my time so that I can recover even better for round 2.

Not Re-Setting ... Re-Loading.

Why Gym Work Shouldn't Just Mimic Practice

I started mma/jiujitsu around 2006 and that’s nothing compared to a lot of people who have been at it much longer…HOWEVER, it was a time where social media was nothing but accountability was everything.
If you had beef from something a tournament or it got around that someone was talking smack, you showed up to their gym and handled it like men.
Currently we are in a time where people see winners like @craigjonesbjj and @gordonlovesjiujitsu_ talk smack and only see the rewards…not realizing that calling out @renergracie with a huge association and depth of knowledge would get your ass rightfully kicked😂
I don’t align with several things that the bigger associations operate under so I do my own thing and compete if I feel the need to prove something. Getting online and crapping upward will only leave you with a bad taste.
Homeboy not realizing that Renner wouldn’t have someone in his camp that could/would embarrass him only highlights the sad reality of a keyboard generation.

Another @c4cpjj Level 1 course is in the books!

Thank you to everyone for making this an extremely productive week.

The Entire class was open to Information Exchange and the Introduction of new Concepts and Strategies to create and/or improve on ideas to fill in gaps to facilitate a safer and more efficient Officer.

In this PROFESSION, we often see people Silo themselves off into categories:

"I'm A Gun-Guy"

"I'm A JiuJitsu Guy"

"I wouldn't grapple... I'm a Striker"

The Shift is creating Principal Based programs in which officers just call themselves "PROFESSIONALS"

Displaying Physical Fitness
Possessing the Ability to Articulate Actions
Understanding of Case Law and Procedure
A Practical Approach to Control Tactics
The Ability to Stop a Threat
... and the Resolve to Always Remain a Student

When we lower the standard to accommodate incompetence, we don’t just weaken the standard—we weaken the culture.
