Things to Note for First-time Skaters
I went skating for the first time ever with an African Association in my school and I had a cocktail of emotions that I was feeling before, during and after skating. What I had imagined in my head was like the ones in the movies where the guy holds the girl or the girl hold the guy and one of them falls in such a pleasant way but my reality was far from that. So, I’m going to be dropping some things that I learned in my first skating experience.

2019-2020 Utah Jazz in Review. Top Story - December 2019.
We are nearing the end of 2019 and the Utah Jazz are currently sitting at 20-12, good for 6th place in the West. Honestly, this year has not been what I had expected for the Jazz. Lots of ups and downs with the team, but in general, I am satisfied and believe that if the Jazz can keep it up, they have a shot of making the Western Conference Finals. Let's take a look at what this year has been like.

My Review of "The Carter Effect"
The Carter Effect is a documentary on Vince Carter but more specifically Vince Carter's influence. It's interesting because if you aren't of a certain age you might not know the crazy popularity of Vince Carter back in the late 90's and early 2000's. I grew up seeing what Vince Carter has done for Toronto, the Toronto Raptors and Canadians in general.

Golf advice
First of all... There are two rules. Everyone should learn the fundamentals of golf if you want to play the game. Second... fast golf is good golf. If you are going to make a 9 on a par 4, please pick up and move the fuck on. Nobody wants to be stuck behind you or stuck playing with you. It’s the cold hard truth. It’s not enjoyable to watch, and hinders confidence for the growing golfer.

Black Belt Or Die Trying
I wanted to quit! After the last injury, broken ribs, I wanted to quit Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). The latest damage would have been my third major setback, and mentally I did not want to endure not being able to train. Losing precious time on the mat could cause a deterioration in my skills. I couldn't afford any more training setbacks.

Part II : A Look Back at 2019 John Jay Football - vs Panas and Beacon
John Jay 49 Panas 17 Coming into Friday night’s game at Walter Panas, John Jay has enjoyed three blowouts. The offense explodes in all directions, and the defense stands down everything in their way. But football is a three dimensional game, and Head Coach Jimmy Clark geared his lesson plan as such this week. “We put emphasis on special teams,” said Clark, and the kicking game responded with three touchdowns in tallying a 49-17 rout.

How To Put Someone in The Guillotine Chokehold
Every guy out there wants to learn how to fight. It's why we shell out huge amounts of cash for martial arts lessons, read up on combat strategies from around the world, and watch professionals in the ring. What we're hoping is that we'll learn the secret that'll turn us into a Hollywood-style action star. The unfortunate reality of fights that take place off the silver screen, though, is that 9 times out of 10 they go to the ground. So it doesn't really matter if you've mastered the spinning butteryfly scissor kick if you have no ground game. Fortunately, grappling is just another martial art, and one of the simplest holds you can put an opponent in is called the Guillotine. Sounds fearsome huh? Well, it's also relatively simple to do.

Why Winter Hunting is the Best Type of Hunting
I’ve got to admit it: when my dad took me on my first hunting trip at 13, I pretty much hated it. But life has a funny way of making you change your mind, and since then, I’ve become quite an enthusiast. This time around, I’m doing it my way: I use a bow instead of a rifle, and I tend to avoid late summer and fall.
