A great quote from @rosenamajunas. As the seasons of our life change what we do, how we look, where we go...will change. However, your roots, who you are, your character and integrity are rooted and grounded as life around you changes. #change #life #roots #character #integrity #ufc #champion @hypeordie

Jonah Hill on doing BJJ: I try and get over the stuff that made me feel weak

View this post on Instagram

I started Brazilian Jui Jitzu 2 months ago and try and train 4 or 5 times a week. In high school the dudes who did Jui Jitzu used to beat the shit out of us at parties so it turned me off to it as an idea growing up. But quietly I always thought it was a beautiful art form . At 35 , I try and get over the stuff that made me feel weak and insecure as a teenager. It’s just wasted time and lessons you’ll never learn. Trying to let go of that. Nothing more humbling than getting your ass kicked by a 12 year old your first week . Got my first stripe today. I know it sounds corny but it’s pretty dope to jump in and do stuff you’d never think you’d be able to do. Much respect to Sensai Josh and @clockworkbjj and Anthony for getting me into it ❤️ 🥋

Joe Rogan on his best self

View this post on Instagram

Of all the versions of me that reside in this meat vehicle the best one is the one that emerges after the great purge of the monkey rage and pouring of the sweat. That’s the me I turn to when I need answers. That’s the me with the most love, the most clarity, and the most appreciation. It’s the best me, and I have to work to make him emerge.

Staring at Death too long can blind us to the possibilities of living —Randy Couture

As one of the founding members of Team Quest and Xtreme Couture MMA it is with great sorrow that we say good bye to Robert Follis. Robert was a friend, coach, mentor, and philosopher of martial arts to many of us. It is with a very heavy heart that I write this tribute to a man that touched so many. Death is like the sun. There is no escaping it. It infuses every part of our lives, but it doesn’t make sense to stare at it too long. That becomes a real challenge when someone you know, love, and respect ends their life. This is where Robert has been since his brothers passing a couple years ago and where we are left now. It is very easy to get caught up in the urgency that comes from the limited span of our lives. It can push us to obsess over life’s meaning in the time we have. But obsessing over it, and staring directly at it too long can blind us to the possibilities of living. Robert was a Hero to many. Heroes have the whole earth as their tomb . . . There is, enshrined in the chest of every person he touched, a record unwritten with no tablet to preserve it. It’s that which he imprinted on our hearts. What lives on is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what he has woven into the lives of others. Those who have lived with us become a part of us. We honor the dead by living their values. Through our efforts, we ensure that the good things they stood for continue to stand even when they are gone. Robert stood for many good things. Let’s let Our actions become a living memorial to Robert Follis. R
