EXISTENCE
Throughout my life I’ve always been told I had a self egotism. Now that I’m a little older and wiser, looking back maybe I did. But thinking of all the things I have done in the past as either a hobby or career, I have always been self driven and prove things to anyone that doubts me. It might sounds insecurity but we all have that in ourselves but if we use it in a positive ways to...

Whoa! I got a few messages in regards to my last post. I don’t ‘hate hate’ Jiu-Jitsu, it’s like a different of hate, its hard to ‘splain’. I somewhat figured out of why I keep doing Jiu-Jitsu just like all the hobbies that I have done in the past. I want to be able to reach beyond myself and my comfort zone.
Here are some photos from the event.

The Old Man Grump vs The Young Stubborn
This rivalry between these two started when Peter got gold at his very first tournament at the Gracie Open. I took a photo of both of them and sense a little bit of jealousy from Eastside…
All smiles but deep inside, he was a little envious… You decide.
1 for Beastmode 0 for Eastside
American National. This was a big event for both and only event I don’t have a photo of them...
PROUD.
There is no word to describe how I feel about my little one competing at her very first Jiu-Jitsu tournament and no other feeling in the world seeing your little one winning! Indescribable.
As nervous as she was, I was shaking inside but I had to keep it together and show her that this is just another sparring but she knew its more than that. She knows losing sucks.
A very supportive coach Alan...

FATCHEEKS
Early Sunday before heading home I got a text from Bear to come out and attend a seminar from a WORLD CHAMPION. I hesitated but Peter and Nick push me to do it and we all ended up doing the class. It turned out that it was Marcus Almeida aka Buchecha which he recently won the 2011 World NOGI both his weight and open weight. Thats pretty bad ass considering this KID is only 21. I feel such a...
NOGI WORLDS
EASTSIDE stole my camera for the day and took fotos at NOGI WORLDS. if they suck, go tell him.
Also if you want to see more photos of NOGI WORLDS, go head to the WVSN Facebook Page. I made the page due to people thinking it’s all me. WVSN isn’t about me but my surroundings, my friends, the community. There’s other people involved into this little project and we don’t...
For almost a decade now every trip I make to Southern California, dining at Gyu-Kaku is a must. This place is a reminder of my youth but it’s also about loyalty. LOYALTY these days is under-appreciated and underrated. People forget of how they got where they are now and tend to choose money and fame over friendships.
I was invited by Bear (Shoyoroll), if I ever come thru Los Angeles again,...
