Today we're joined by Rocco. Rocco is one of our long time training partners and the main Administrator for Fenix Jiu-Jitsu. He has traveled the world kicking in doors and blaring Miley Cyrus.

George and I decided to do some book reviews on our favorite topics. In this series we are going to break down some of the core principles of 'The Book of Five Rings' by Miyamoto Musashi. This is a world renown book on Martial Arts and life. During Part 1 we cover some of the stories of the Author. Musashi is often seen as more myth than man, so there are many conflicting stories.

Joining us today is the Manager of Hickory's newest Soccer team Hickory FC. He is also one of our students and a blue belt under Fenix Jiu-Jitsu. Here we got up to date on the Hickory FC creation and ongoing season.

This conversation touched on a lot of topics, but it is easy to see that Joanna is incredibly knowledgeable in all things health related. She has a great approach to health and wellness using simple lifestyle changes to create new habits and cure/manage many illnesses without pharmaceutical intervention.

Today George and I talk about ways of building a more resilient body through stability and strengthening work. We covered some of our own past injuries and how we trained with them instead of fully resting. We also discussed some of the injuries our clients had and various recovery protocols we used to help them get back to their everyday life faster.

On this podcast George and I talk various ways of preparing for the end of the world. Or you know, weekly meal prep. Most people only see preppers as the bunker building, water collection and canned beans guys. Here we explore the in between and some weekly habits that help us out.

Oh boy. What can I say about this joker? My best friend; my brother; the bane of my existence. We discuss how Fenix came to be. Share some fun and not so fun old stories. We also talk about some other grappling arts that we use at Fenix such as Catch Wrestling and Judo.

I know this sounds about as fun as cardboard, but Bob makes a dry topic very interesting. As well as being a Financial Advisor at Southeast Retirement Planners, Inc., he also has his own podcast with the same name, he is a student of ours at Fenix Jiu-Jitsu.
