With Book 5 under my belt, I have to say that the story is getting darker and more sinister. I loved the ending and it definitely left me eager to read the next books. However, I believe Harry should have practiced some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the DA club as it would have come useful... Continue Reading →
Hound Roll #3
Drill, Baby Drill!!! Wednesdays is a drill day. It is 1 hour of drilling and today we worked X-Guard entries and sweeps. Being a part of a school that is full of X-Guard and Butterfly guard masters, it is rather difficult to practice these moves for me. My BJJ background did not include much experience...

I am a big opponent of specific dog breed banning. Most breed based legislature is based on unfounded reasoning and has little foundation in facts.
Politician’s drafting these rules have little to no knowledge of the dog breeds or dog behavior.
No breed is vicious or dangerous by nature. Some breeds are bigger, stronger and have a higher defensive and protection drive. Some breeds posses a higher game drive. However, it is up to the owner to socialize, train and practice responsible dog ownership.
Thus, in my opinion, the method of specific dog breed banning is wrong and fruitless and only leads to pushing some breeds into underground in to the hands of the people who will use them for wrong and abusive reasons.
An appropriate approach would be to educate and license dog owners and to promote dog training and obedience training!!!
“The problem with dogs is not dogs. It is people. And laws that continue to focus on…

Stupid and discussing to kill an animal with no cause or reason
“Switzerland’s only recorded wild bear has been culled after fears that it could pose a threat to humans, the authorities announced on Wednesday.”
The male bear, known as “M13”, was shot dead by wildlife rangers on Tuesday, said Adrian Aeschlimann, spokesman for the Federal Office for the Environment.
“The cull was carried out according to the management plan for bears in Switzerland,” he told AFP, via Discovery News.
“M13 lived in the mountainous Graubuenden region of eastern Switzerland, on the border with Italy, spending spring seasons in the Val Poschiavo.”
Who Is M13?
Two year old male bear.
The only survivor of a trio of cubs.His two siblings-M12 and M14, were killed by cars in Italy.
The three bears were in a program in Italy’s Trentino Alto Adige region, to try and reintroduce an animal long wiped out by hunters.
There are only 30 bears left in Italy.
Why would…

Bow and Arrow choke... this effective technique claims a highest percentage of people being choked out at tournaments. Today I had a pleasure of having it taught by Marcelo Garcia and drilling it with a competition level black belt. It is amazing how many small details you can learn from top-level players for a technique... Continue Reading →
