Semi-automatic shotguns offer rapid follow-up shots, ideal for sport shooting or tactical applications. Break-action shotguns, either single or double-barreled, are simple and reliable, making them favorites among hunter...

Today at the boxing gym, I really focused on the mental game, not just the physical punches. We were sparring at maybe 40% focusing on speed rather than power. Getting hit in the face teaches you something important: resilience. Life can throw hard punches too, and it's about how we respond to them that counts. When life hits us hard, remember to stand strong, stay composed, and keep moving forward. That's h...

These moments of shared laughter and connection are a reminder that the bonds we create are worth celebrating year-round. So, make the most of the weekend, savoring t...

Today's no-gi Jiu-Jitsu training was a dynamic mix of techniques, with a special focus on takedowns. We started with an energetic warm-up to get our bodies primed, and then it was time to dive into the art of taking opponents down. Without the traditional gi grips, takedowns become even more challenging and technical. We drilled various takedown techniques, from single-leg and double-leg takedowns to throws and t...

In the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a rash guard is a required item. It's a snug, lightweight shirt that's all about keeping you comfy and protected on the mats. You see, it's there to shield your skin from those mat burns and rashes that can happen when you're rolling around. It’s slick and made of spandex so it’s skin tight. And the best part? It's got this cool moisture-wicking superpower,...

another day of getting dominated by black belts. I grew up with ZERO jiu jitsu, wrestling, judo, etc experience. I only did a tiny bit of tae kwon do when I was younger, and MAN do I wish I trained when I was younger. Nevertheless, nothing gets you better than training with guys that have been doing it longer. just gonna need to make sure I Ice PLENTY tonight. Especially for thanksgiving tomorrow 🙂🍗🦃 -Ryan

Keep practicing, stay sharp mentally, and enjoy the journey in this ...

Two a day today with some gi and no gi jiu jitsu. I’m absolutely beat. My buddy didn’t take it easy on me and I tapped a dozen times rolling with him. He weighs 40 pounds less than me but has been training 15 years and is a mma fighter. Needless to say, there’s a big difference in a couple years training and a professional 😂😅 -Ryan

Gotta love a suit that fits you well AND you’re able to move in it well. Something with spandex and 4 way stretch is best for guys with bigger chests and shoulders smaller waists, and big thighs and legs, oh and a big butt! 😉 -Ryan

Cleaning up nice don’t you think? when in events where you want to stay protected and safe but don’t want to obviously show what you have, I tend to pack light with a G43x in my 4 o’clock position, a TQ strapped to my ankle, quick clot in the breast pocket, a microtech knife, and chapstick because obviously. -Ryan

Oversize t shirts are absolutely my favorite for every day conceal carrying. You never would have guessed I’m carrying a full size here on my gym shorts. Only problem then is the shorts can’t support the weight of the gun. These worked out for me, but it’s mostly a huge struggle finding shorts that support the weight. Some brands come out with an interior extra supported waist band for this exact reason! -Ryan

Off on the road traveling! 🧳 Traveling is a dangerous time not only for yourself moving but for your personal belongings back home. Nothing tells a criminal that you’re ready to robbed like a “I’m on vacation for a week in Bahamas!” Post on social media! Especially if you don’t live in a secured apartment like a house on the street. -Ryan

Lemme talk about something that doesn’t makes a lot of sense in most scenarios. Appendix carrying with body armor. if you’re wearing body armor, then chances are you have a gun, so why not open carry it? Well the simple yet idiotic excuse is, laws. some states ban open carry, some allow it if you’re working security under specific circumstances. After a combination of either, I’ve found myself needing body a...

"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a ...
