A Female Warrior's Journey to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
I have trained in a range of martial arts for a good 22 years. And I’m only 26. So basically, my entire life. My journey to Brazilian Jiu jitsu (BJJ) has been an interesting one.

Opportunities Abound for The Los Angeles Lakers
For the first time since 2005 with the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James will not be making a run for the NBA Finals. But, Lakers fans need not fret. After all the plan this season did not involve winning a championship. Sure, it would've been a tremendous help for their youngsters to gain some playoff experience and, obviously, LeBron is never okay with any kind of losing. They can take solace though, in the fact that the Lakers are in a position to have a good summer, should they play their cards right.
