How Would A Pro MMA Fighter Do Against 3 Untrained Men?
About 2 years ago I got jumped right outside of a local bar by 3 guys. They were very intoxicated and I was mildly buzzed, so take that into account. At this point I had been kickboxing for well over a year and a half and had wrestled since middle school (I was a little over 21 at the time, so we’ll say about 9ish years or so of wrestling experience). I’m not on the level of a pro MMA fighter by any means, but my training is extensive enough to where I’m not threatened by anyone that doesn’t also have their own mixed martial arts or combat background.

Kill the Excuses!
Do you ever catch yourself making excuses when things don’t turn out as you had expected? Have you ever tried to explain away why you didn’t, couldn’t, shouldn’t or simply wouldn’t do something?
I’m too tired. I don’t have the time. I am not capable. Someone else will do it. It’s too late now. Now is not the right time. I am not talented. I am not ready. I’m too scared. Nobody will help me. What if I fail. I don’t feel motivated. I’d rather do nothing. I don’t have the money..yet! Those are the biggest excuses people make.

Confessions Of A Retired Bank Robber
What made you get into bank robbery?
Bank robbery is the real American Dream. We make movies about it, and as long as innocent people aren’t hurt or killed, our society loves bank robbers.
Also, it seemed like a worthy challenge. I thought it would be quite an accomplishment if I could solve the puzzle and figure out how to get away with it.
Did you have a mentor of sorts that you learned from or did you have a community of bank robbers that you would talk to?
Only the Internet. I studied countless reports of other robberies that had gone wrong and people who were caught. I never told anyone what I was doing. One of the main things I learned from research was that an overwhelming number of people are caught because they didn’t do it solo. So I never let anyone (not even my wife or best friend) know what I was doing.
