Quote of the Moment - Make the Most of Your Training

"Sometimes I let my opponent move to maximize my time in transitions. Other times I go straight for the finish when I feel a big challenge. Sometimes if I feel someone doesn't want to give the back, I'll fight very hard to make him make a mistake and give the back. Sometimes I might just train my squeeze for a session. Other times I'll work on my grips. My whole life I have learned how to make my own training by creating little challenges no matter who I am rolling with. This is very important."  

~ Marcelo Garcia

Quote of the Moment - Every Day

Yeah, I train - always train everyday no matter what. I don’t have a day off.  I don’t train hard everyday, like I trained really relaxed today. 

My mentality is that when I go sleep at night, I’m a better martial artist than when I woke up in the morning.  So no matter what happens in my day, I know that at night, when I go to bed, I learned something new, and I’m a better guy than when I woke up in the morning” 

~ Georges St. Pierre
