There are no steps but forward. There is no way but up. There's not a word called failure, and there's no such thing as luck. There is no cutting corners, or taking a shortcut. There are no steps but forward. There is no way but up. Kill your demons / Face your fears www.CKFightlife.com Like / Share / Follow / Leveled up! After a long hiatus I found a new gym at @nwmaeug . I'm so stoked to be back on the mats and with a great team. The first night back there were 4 black belts and many other high ranking students in the fundamentals class. They've been very welcoming and helpful. At the spring promotions it was a big surprise when Professor Harold presented me with my blue belt. It means a ton to me. There have been so many people along the way starting with @gpoopus who wrangled me on to the mats after Conner was hooked. I'm grateful for the many high level coaches and training partners at Eugene MMA both in the gi and 10p no gi that took the time to help me advance. The one dude that pushed me all along is @laughingbadger . We started at the same time and he was my solid training partner for over 2 years. Even when I took time off over the last 2.5 years he stayed in touch and consistently asked when I'd be coming back, without pushing too hard. I also appreciate the constant stream of chonky raccoon clips he sends my way.
