Over the years have had a lot of different ways that I tried to subtly incorporate my personality and passions into my workspace. Oddly enough this is probably some of the most subtle work I've done in a long time. Lol I didn't realize it until I'd actually took these photos what was in them haha. See you at the next visit!

Not only am I the president but I'm also a client lol If you know you know.
I am always very serious when it comes to recovery and taking care of injuries when it comes to sport competition especially for Martial artists. This was taken in 2016 while in South Africa. One of my teammates wife happens to be a massage therapist and graciously took care of me while I was out there.
This is why I will always advocate for a massage therapist to be a part of the US martial arts team and why I also take so many courses to elevate my own practice so that I can help combat sports athletes, and athletes in general as well as acute and chronic pain patients wherever I am. To my athletes. I care because I understand.

Had a great day. Had a few prospects working out for their tryouts and returning team members as well putting in that work I didn't realize I kept them an hour longer than I expected to haha. But today was a good day for expectations to be set. Looking forward to the next team training in February!

As I was making this post, I realized I have an awful lot to say with regards to the subject matter. And I realized it would be a long ass post, so maybe one day I'll make a video about it instead. Egotistically, I would like to joke that I am a trendsetter. At the very least, I think some of my feelings manifest into reality, and I'm glad to see it when it comes to martial arts and competition. I wonder what kind of shirts I'll make this year..

Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! I hope all of you get a chance to spend quality time with your friends and fan during this season. Grateful for everyone that I connect with, and it's just nice to have people to care about and have people who care about me. Well I'm about to start enhancing him my relaxation (after some kata practice), everyone take care!
