mind clubs comedy
I'm a nightclub comic. That's what I do. I work in the clubs uncensored because my mind is uncensored, and those are the thoughts that I have. I do the kind of comedy that I would enjoy seeing.
sports imagination commentators
I never in my wildest imagination dreamed that I would somehow become a sports commentator.
sports years levels
Your body's really only meant to compete at the highest levels of combat sports for a few years.
mean mma faces
When a ball goes into a net it only means something because we decided it means something. When somebody punches somebody in the face it always means something.
spare-time spares commentary
I do cagefight commentary in my spare time.
mma jiu-jitsu tools
Jiu-Jitsu has been one of the most valuable tools I've ever had in my life.
silly thinking white
For those that have said I seemed dickish to some of the nuttier guests on Joe Rogan Questions Everything - guilty as charged. As the season wore on I lost my patience with some of those folks unfortunately. I think I overdosed on ridiculous/likely fake stories. I certainly learned a lot about the kind of people that invest a large portion of their life on fringe subjects - they're all white. I think there's something interesting about the subjects, (UFOS, etc) but the study of them has often been overrun by silly thinking.
teaching thinking mma
Teaching someone that doesn't know something forces you to think about almost every single aspect of it, including parts of it that you could sort of take for granted.
yoga long done
As a longtime practitioner of yoga and a person who's been involved in physical fitness my whole life, I can tell you, yoga helps you achieve altered states of consciousness. It is not just stretching. The only way you can say that it's stretching is if you haven't done it, or that you haven't done it rigorously for a long period of time.
mean beats persons
A lot of times, you beat a person who beat a person who can beat you. I mean, it doesn't make any sense.
art vehicle human-potential
Martial arts are a vehicle for developing your human potential.
talking actors worst
Have you ever talked to someone, and you're not even really talking to them? Actors are the worst for that.
acting way retarded
The only time I commit to conspiracy theories is when something way retarded happens. Like Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone.
art moving thinking
I see martial arts as moving forms of meditation. When you're sparring or drilling techniques, you can't think of anything else.
