el Jefe

San Jose/Sunnyvale!

Played 40k for years, and still have tons of models. Wanted to get back into it, but WOW, GW is trying their hardest to go out of business. If I can find the right crew, I'd still consider it.

Without knowing too much about what you're looking for, I'll give it a shot... In my experience, the instructor can matter as much as the art, so be sure you have a good feeling about the instructors and their philosophy. If you're looking for something with the flow of Kung Fu, try Tai Chi. If that's too passive, I'd give Judo or Aikido a look. BJJ isn't *supposed* to be strength-focused, though it helps. Helio Gracie was a small dude, and practiced high-level BJJ into his 90's, and stressed technique above all else. If you can find a good, supportive academy, might want to consider that as well.

Hey gang, Jefe here! Read Level Up Your Life after I decided I needed to change things up; break free of the routine and start getting wins again! I used to enjoy adventuring, seeing fantastic things, going far-away places, and acts of fun-but-questionable wisdom. After I got out of the Marines, I let the usual lame excuses get in the way: not enough money, too much work, time to be an adult. All that junk. I'm tired of making excuses, tired of the same old routine, so here I am! Look forward to working with all of you to achieve our goals! Quests: Break 300 on bench Get back to 500 on DL Two major adventures per year, plus monthly minor quests At least one epic adventure, such as riding a motorcycle from Cairo to Capetown Master Spanish and Indonesian Dive with Great Whites Learn a trade or a craft Complete one of the big three (Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide, Appalachian) Raise a puppy until it's ready to head off to guide dog school Complete Search and Rescue training with my dog
