Brazilian Jiu JitsuGrappling for 1 hour against a 255+ lbs man Today, I did my first BJJ class at Daddis Fight Campsand the 2nd actual instruction of BJJ of my life. The last one was 4 years ago but I still remembered a couple moves... It was a lot of fun and very taxing on cardio and strength. If I continue training Muay Thai kickboxing intensely and "hit the ground" grapplin with BJJ a couple times a week along with CrossFit training, gymnastics, trail running, track sprinting, rowing, and soon to be mountain biking,rock climbing, and surfing then I am gonna be some sort of SPORTS SUPER FREAK. PS: I hate watching sports and do not follow any teams. I would much rather participate so that I can soon dominate in them after putting in the sweat, tears, and blood required all by myself than watch other men. Nothing against it, its just not me.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is amartial art, combat sport, and aself defense system that focuses ongrappling and especiallyground fighting. It teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique – most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self defense.
Mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, using specially adapted mountain bikes. Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes, but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain.
Mountain biking can generally be broken down into multiple categories: cross country (XC), trail riding, all mountain, downhill, freeride, dirt jumping and trials. The vast majority of mountain biking falls into the recreational XC, and Trail Riding categories.
This individual sport requires endurance, core strength and balance, bike handling skills, and self-reliance. XC type mountain biking generally requires a different range of skills and a higher level of fitness than other types of mountain biking. Advanced riders pursue steep technical descents and, in the case of freeriding, downhilling, and dirt jumping, aerial maneuvers off of specially constructed jumps and ramps.
Felix consistently challenges his limits while pushing the physical boundaries of human flight. In 2003, Felix completed an unprecedented flight across the English Channel with a carbon wing, and subsequently began to consider an even bigger goal: the supersonic freefall. With a team of the world's top scientists, engineers and doctors behind him, Felix will attempt to rewrite history and advance aeronautical research with Red Bull Stratos. His mission is to become the first parachutist to break the sound barrier...
"More than anything else the sensation is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost, if you can conceive of such a combination." ~Wilbur Wright
