My Life In The Arts

I always wanted a home where I could express my feelings about my life in the Arts here in NYC. I like most human beings have several facets to my life. I am a Son, and Grandson, Father, Brother, Friend, Artist, Martial Artist and all around nerd. ...

@danielgracie is 100 percent the real deal. I have been in and around high level teachers my entire life. I have had the privilege training with Daniel and his fighters as an observant old guy in the room directly 2 times and as a friend to the class maybe 3 times and he is among the best and most complete Martial Arts instructors I have learned from in my life. He is also among the most dedicated loyal coaches I have ever seen. He never had to allow me into his space or share knowledge with an old guy like me, past my prime and unable to offer anything other than my body and some experience that don't come close to matching his in the room. Yet he pushed me, made me better than I was when I was in the room and treated me with same dignity and respect he treated his champion fighters. So that is why I go so hard for him and the team. He could discarded instead he treated me like family. So where you at #muthaflowers!?!? Reposted from @danielgracie How can I not be passionated about what i do??? That’s my home, my backyard, my everything. I hope I can share my knowledge to the day I leave this world. Than I’m gonna be doing the same in there hahahahaha.
