I saw this on the wall of a bar, back in the day
I no longer drink any kind of booze, but when I used to I ended up in many “interesting” places (biker bars, usually). They have their own brand of humor and way of looking at the world. This was a classic quote: “We cheat the other guy and pass the savings on to you.” ForContinue reading “I saw this on the wall of a bar, back in the day”

We have designed our new class with those ancient concepts in mind. Maces and clubs were used in close combat back then, and we will use themContinue reading “Warrior Strength-Cardio”
Clubs were used by Native Americans
Since we have added club and mace training to our programming, I wanted to add a bit of history on their use over the centuries.
