Really puts how long life is into perspective when these two talk about meeting when they were 7 and 8 years old…and now having spent more than 50 years as sweethearts.

For better for worse, through sickness and in health.

Each week I will be highlighted to teach ”Professor Elbe Tips on the mat with GFC Wrestling and Wawan Protein”.

It’s a great opportunity for me to help educate the Middle East on the basics for the sport of MMA, as it is broadcasted in the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabi, Jordan, and several other neighboring countries.

Keep an eye out for more news about Kuwait Combat Athletics coming out soon!!!…until then…enjoy the takedown :)

This cat believes he’s king ding dong around the Casa Del Elbe resort.

If Nog had an Instagram…I’m sure he would have captioned the pic…
That rotisserie chicken is so good it makes me lick my lips!

One more round of shots and my lil’ man will have all of his mandatory injections done.

Today the vet. Also put a microchip in him, so if he gets lost I will hopefully be able to get reunited.

Nog is a sweetheart :)

“One Day the Tree just stopped growing Apples to eat, and everyone was sad, but had to find food”

No one said things would be easy.  More then a day, less than a lifetime.

He’s been training hard for this and got the reward he deserved!

*Keep in mind* many of these people have never watched a boxing or muay thai match in their life.  The most exposure they have had to martial arts is watching their 9 year old nephew get his black belt after breaking 2 boards with his bare fists.

…Overall I think I did a pretty decent job, voice cut out a bit, but that only added to the difficulty as the Mic attached to my hip, and the headset weren’t ideal for performance :)

While Gokhan is currently the #1 ranked K1 fighter in the world (with rumors of Shemmy Shilt retiring), it seems not enough people give him the respect he deserves!!

Hopefully with a few more opportunities to fight in front of the American Audience, Gokhan will finally star
