I’m Back

Posted in Personal, Uncategorized at 10:29 pm by BartonG

If you’ve been a frequent visitor to my site, you may have noticed that I’ve been posting less frequently. Thanks for your patience - I’m back. I’ve had a lot of stuff on my plate, but it’s been worth it. I hope to share a lot of neat stuff with you shortly, including:

  • A detailed video on how to make ballistics gel.
  • More martial arts videos via my developing SLC MMA blog.
  • My instructor’s notes from classes I’m teaching at the university (Mixed Martial Arts and Self Defence)
  • Hacking Cashcrate.com guide
  • Real Estate Investment Analysis
  • and more.

I’m getting more involved with the technical aspects of blogging and let me know if my plug-ins don’t work as you’d hope.

Now is the time to be greedy

Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful. - Warren Buffet

The difficulty of good advice isn’t finding it, but knowing when and how to act on it. We live in uncertain times. The real estate market is pretty shaken up. The US dollar is weak. Etc, etc, ad nauseum. Now seems like a logical time to be fearful and hide in our shell. Are we sure that now is a good time?

Utah MMA class

Posted in Uncategorized at 2:01 pm by BartonG

Great news!

I’m going to be teaching a couple of mixed martial arts classes at the University of Utah in the fall. I’m super pumped about the whole thing.  I’m not a guru by any means, but I’ve got some skills and love to teach.  I’m going to overview various techniques of MMA. Striking, the clinch, take downs, groundwork, submissions, conditioning - the whole gamut.  This isn’t going to be a full contact, bloody knuckles and mangled face class.   We’re going to condition and train - not compete or brawl.  If you’re in the SLC area, drop in! You don’t have to be a student and the classes are very inexpensive. Sign up for a class at the U of U website.
