THE MAIN EVENT 🚨

Shout out to Flowroller Brian R. for sharing this honestly, kinda disturbing story.

At the recent Tap Cancer Out San Diego charity tournament, in a kids match, an instructor was seen yelling at the top of his lungs “CHOKE HIM, KEEP CRANKING, BREAK THE ARM THAT‘S FINE!”

THE PELOTON OF BOXING 🥊 
together with Fight Camp

Want to mix some striking into your training? Then you’ve got to check out Fight Camp.

It’s basically like Peloton for boxing. Pick up a pair of their bluetooth trackers, pop em in your boxing gloves, and work out alongside their lineup of elite boxing coaches.

You’ll get in depth data on how hard and effective your striking is, so you can track your progress and improve over time.

I’ve been grinding the Muay Thai classes with Coach Aaron, they are a killer cardio addition to my Jiu Jitsu sessions.
