Injuries, illness, tournament struggles, and all the other obstacles I faced earlier this year seem like a distant memory now.

Did you know that if you show up to class with a cold sore, you could infect everyone you roll with?

When you're suddenly not able to train due to injury, it can be devastating. Here's how to prevent that from happening.

This was a great week of training, with lots of new skills, a visit to a different gym, and a relaxing recovery day.

This week was all about ramping up my training and cleaning up my diet. My next big tournament is just around the corner.

This week's picks are a thank-you to our boldest coaches. Thanks to each of you for speaking your mind and the truth, and knocking the Internet stupidity level down a notch.

After my competition last week at the New York Open, I can't wait to get back out there and do my thing.

Thirteen weeks of traveling, rolling, drilling, dieting, and killing my strength and conditioning program all came together this week at the New York Open.

I don’t like man bashing, especially since my teammates at my gym are so awesome. But the fact is some guys are dicks.

Drinking a ton of water and saving your weight cut for the last day is actually better than gradual dehydrating. In this case, slow and steady does not win the race.

Aside from a minor back strain, I'm feeling confident and ready for the New York Open this weekend.

This weekend I will not lose due to lack of training, conditioning, nutrition, or focus. I won’t lose because I beat myself.

Your glutes are not as strong as you think they are. You may be able to squat a house, but that does not mean your glutes are strong or even contracting optimally.
