I considered which story needed revision most. My first submission earned ninety-seven points, while the latter one got less. Ideas flowed for making it better. The other composition I submitted was abstract in its plot. I experimented with second-person through placing readers in the shoes of a ranked heavyweight who has gotten placed into a time machine and transported to an unspecified period in history to fight someone they think is Sonny Liston. There wasn’t a true setting apart from the…

For those of you that don’t know what to spar means it is where you pretty much have a gym fight and practice your skills. If you get too many…
modern Jiu-Jitsu is better than old school Jiu-Jitsu. This question, many times, has led to negative commentary or actions towards the opposing viewers. To help give a better understanding of Jiu-Jitsu here is its beginning. Jiu-Jitsu derived from the art of Judo by a man named Miysuyo Maeda; this man settled in Brazil and opened up a gym there with one of his best students Carlos Gracie. After working with his professor for several years, he soon opened up a gym of his own with a few of his…
Relieving Tensions through Unconventional Methods Mehmet Oz once declared “What happens when you have great grief in your life is the arteries of that heart begins to spasms down, just literally squeezes down like this because you’re feeling the tension of your life and then the heart muscle itself also begin- to get stressed out.” While my mind was more attentive and energized due to the continuous use of my meditation regime, my body still experienced tensions and soreness. As discussed in…

It’s this mix of masculinity and grace that draws so many to the sport and has made it hot for betting. Before you…
