    What did you do today?

    Thank you! Now he has a target on his head locally. Every coach in our state will want their fighter to go against my kid. Everyone wants to beat someone that’s better than them. The calls have already started. My kid already has 5 fights lined up over the next 2 months.

    He just came out of the lion’s den moments before this pic. His adrenaline is through the roof & he’s feeling confident. It takes a few minutes to get them back out of fight mode & to a normal 11 year old. There’s a switch we have to install on them. It switches from nice sweet...

    What did you do today?

    Just got home from KS Missouri for the National Silver Gloves tournament. My kid hit it hard and eliminated his first two opponents. He really busted up his first one. Bloodied him up real good & possibly broke his nose. Second fight was very close. He narrowly took the split decision 3/2...

    I have it. It really doesn’t do **** because I know I drive fast & recklessly & I still get the discount. I’ve had it for years.

    I’ve eaten it more times than I can remember. Still have battle scars from it. Remember the old school metal pedals? So do my shins. 😂

    Don’t forget, you’re not 16 anymore!! That means no bunny hops, endo’s, rooster tails, wheelies, etc. I feel like if I had a bike thoughts of doing said tricks would flood my head. There’s a very big chance I would act on them. There’s an even bigger chance I would eat **** and...

    You have to fight up if you ever want to get better. My son is 11 & around 87-90lbs. He fights 14-20 year olds on sparring nights. Obviously they’re not going full power but they present a genuine challenge for him. They’re bigger, longer, heavier & more intimidating. He really has to work to...

    You have to be on point with your kids these days. Keep them involved with sports or after school activities, whatever, something. 90% of these kids go right home after school & sit in front of the Xbox with a bag of Doritos until they go to bed. They’re over weight and lazy. The only victory...

    That cracks me up as well. When our competition team is training and fighting, it’s all business. As soon as they’re done with their fight it’s all fun & games with their friends from other clubs who already fought. Regionals was at the Hilton in Boston last weekend. There was about 70...

    What did you do today?

    Believe it or not there’s not much parenting conflict. There’s always conflict with officials though. This is a very regulated sport. There’s a lot of paperwork you absolutely must have together for your athlete to fight. One little thing out of order & no fight for you. We drive hours away for...

    What did you do today?

    I used to fight when I was a kid too. Just not at the level he’s rising to. He loves this & it’s literally our life. All of our friends are in different clubs around the state. We see each other almost every weekend at shows & competitions. We’re a small community but a very tight...

    The kid just won the regional silver gloves tournament in Boston Mass. He’s now ranked #1 in the North East & in the top 8 for 90# in the country!! Off to Kansas City Missouri in two weeks to take the National title!!!

    What did you do today?

    Sounds like you had it easy with the practices & traveling 😂. We train our fighters 4 hours a night, 6 days a week. We travel 2-3 weekends a month a minimum of 2 hours away. Most of the time to Albany or Buffalo (3.5 hr drive). The fight game is a lifestyle with no season...

    Putting VCT Tile over a nonvirgin subfloor.

    Dude, VCT is for school bathrooms and low end “git er done” hood rental homes. Basically it looks like crap these days. Judging by the pics it’s clearly not the Sistine Chapel it’s going in to. And clearly you don’t have the funds to do it correctly. So just put the **** down the way...

    What did you do today?

    My kid fought in the national Silver gloves competition (golden gloves for kids 8-17). He’s is now the 90# NYS champion!! He advances to regionals in Massachusetts January 10th. Very proud of that boy!!

    Putting VCT Tile over a nonvirgin subfloor.

    Why ask questions if you don’t want to hear the answers? Sounds like you got it under control. VCT is cheap. Who cares if it fails.

    What did you do today?

    Went with my son & his buddy to to the amateur boxing fights last night. It’s always a good time hanging out with friends from different clubs around the state. My son was a little salty he couldn’t fight. He’s just getting over being sick & his lungs couldn’t handle it for that show. Even...
