Something I found on Jory’s old laptop. He spent a lot of time talking about Mental management and mindset. He often noted to me in private that it’s the #1 thing people neglect, especially before an event like a competition. Without proper mindset and discipline, you won’t be successful. It’s not easy. Training your mindset…
This was one of the last videos Jory got to make for the gym. I think this was more intended for an advertisement for people to overcome the objection people have: thinking “I need to get in shape before I start”. No matter how good of shape you are in, when you do something new…
Jory’s seminar on Soviet Sports model. Training methodology, recovery, everything you want to know. This is quite a lengthy seminar covered over the course of several videos. Each video is different, it’s broken in to parts. There is not much to watch so play it and listen while you are doing some mindless work if…
25 min video from Jory on his every day carry. This video addresses carrying weapons for self defense (guns, knives, holsters) and every day carry for emergency medicine. (See this post for a list of the things in the kit he mentions). He also covers miscellaneous things regarding useful things to have on your person…
Strong stimulants before motor learning can be a train wreck that does more harm than good! No NO-Xplode, 5 Hour Energy Shots, or ephedrine (a strong beta agonist or over the counter meth). When you get caught in a choke you can have a brain aneurysm “Jacked” up on these supplements (you’ll have a 50%…
More help with fasting. I’ve talked about the value of rigorous fasting like the Greek Orthodox Christians to more simple intermittent fasting.Here’s something I found to help. But before you click to the site… I use intermittent fasting part of the week. I never due high intensity exercise in a fasted state, as it’ll kill…
Dustin Holley sent me this image. Jory gave it to him, to my understanding, during some of their private lessons. Having an offensive mindset was something Jory talked about a lot when it comes to self defense and competition. I went through his writings and found a post in the group that best matches this…
I wanted to touch on the topic of recovery and regeneration. It’s often ignored by those under 30 and gains more and more importance as an athlete crosses 40. When I began training I didn’t have the greatest coaches. Arkansas wasn’t the fertile crescent of world class coaching or scientific education for that matter. There…
One problem area in the last two competition outings was proper fueling for high output performance, from competitors not properly carb loading, some not refueling enough between matches, to some bonking in the middle of matches and costing themselves the match due simply to not eating enough carbs before stepping on the mats. So this…
“Sometimes I rhyme quick, sometimes a rhyme slow.” What works in hip hop often doesn’t work in the training of combat athletes. The SAID principle (Specific Adaptation to Implied Demand) makes the case that if we want to be fast, our training should be as specific as possible with regards to speed of execution. With…
