We had on recently promoted purple belt and amateur mma fighter Aaron Mruk on the show.  Training #Jiujitsu introduces you to a lot of interesting people.  The image of combat sports is not always the best, but Aaron is an example of the stories that are not being told.

   I overheard him talking about a mission that he was going on in Hatti in the WNYMMA and fitness locker room and was instantly fascinated by his story.  Of course, since it is a deep and inspirational story Raymond was MIA.  Aaron talks about Jiu Jitsu, why he went on the mission (he isn’t religious) his wife their brady bunch family and taping his fingers.  We gave Dub and Matt Flores some shout outs and huge congratulations on Faixa Preta (black belt) to Dave Szprygada of Lake Effect and former Caveman’s corner guest.

   I have a very small voice in the community, but this is a story I feel like is worth sharing.  If you can pass this one along to your friends.  Hopefully it can inspire others to help.

Had the one and only Sean Daugherty on the podcast last night.  He came to Buffalo with Grappling Industries and really did a great job promoting the tournament.  Sean came and gave a free leg lock seminar at WNYMMA and Fitness last night.  We talked about the last time that GI was in town and how cool it was that Dave Aguzzi faced all the criticism from the las tournament and made this year’s iteration much better.

   We talked about where Ray was, Sean’s life, his military service, training with Ken Shamrock at Lions Den, talked about Strong Style MMA.  Touched on how he but for a twist of fate would have been in Alex Steblings spot in Pride history.  Of course, we touched briefly on Conner McGreggor Kahbib.  Of all the things we talked about though we had to talk about the never-ending battle between Emil Fisher and John Gunther and what the deal really is with the Alpaca’s.

   I have had the opportunity to talk with a lot of guys and girls and the podcast, but this was a fun one.  I got to roll with the guest, buy him dinner and hang out.  It was good to see someone who actual is what that project on social media.  Thanks for the interview, seminar and the rolls.

Had a great podcast with Tom.  It marks the return of Ray to the studio.  He brought his son so little Ray makes his first appearance.  If you are sick of out babble jump to the 24:00 minute mark and get to the good part.  The call is Fantastic.

Had on local Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitor and brown belt Gray Hendershot. We sat down and discussed the IBJJF, Jiu Jitsu, local clubs Lake Effect Martial Arts, WNY MMA and Fitness, Buffalo United Martial Arts, Buffalo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, and Buffalo Combat Fitness. Also, a shout out to Jay Wadsworth. I threw Gray under the bus and asked him who the best in the area was, but you will have to listen to see who he said. We talked about how he got into Jiu Jitsu, and into personal training. After that I had him set me up with a diet and workout plan for a competitive athlete. I couldn’t let him leave without answering a question from Cho KeYou, so we talked about Sunday fun day before we got out of the interview as well. Lastly and most importantly we talked about what he does to get his hair to look so good, maybe him and Jordan Preisinger can have a loser shaves their head match lol.

Forrest Denz breaks down week one of the NFL and gives his takes on the Bills game, or slaughter.

Talked about going back to school and life.  I love this little guy.  Also check out his podcast 1st and 36

A great look into the mind of a wonderful kid.  Honest to the core.  Good listen.
