Continuation of Training With World-Class Athletes When we first met Boogey and Geo Martinez, they were teaching a Friday evening class together in San Diego. And although just a handful of students were tapped in at the time, it was clear they were something special....

I recently have been thinking about martial arts (and jiu-jitsu), and why I love them so much. I have never wanted to be a martial artist, or thought about having a black belt in jiu-jitsu, but I am in love with the art. I also love yoga, but not in the fitness way,...
