  What is your current goal in life?
• 1:07
  My current goal in life, short term, I want to wrestle
• 1:10
  everywhere, all across the country, all across the world.
• 1:13
  I feel like I got a lot to give. I've been in the Northeast for a
• 1:18
  little bit over a year now and I'm I'm excited.
• 1:20
  I want to travel. I love traveling, so that
• 1:22
  wrestling's a great way to do that, so that's what I'm trying
• 1:24
  to do. What are you currently doing to
• 1:27

  Indies. What is currently holding you
• 1:45
  back or distraction from your goals?
• 1:50
  I would say being able to fully focus on on wrestling itself is
• 1:55
  is tough. Being able to, you know, get in
• 1:57
  the gym constantly and, you know, go to training constantly.
• 2:00
  Got to make it work. I have been but you know, tired

  It's just like the there's like Marvel movies.
• 4:39
  So you, you, you've been around a little bit of time here when
• 4:44
  you, when you were going to get into this business, why, what,
• 4:46
  what, what pulled you to the Worldwide Dojo?
• 4:49
  Like there's so many schools in the area that you could have
• 4:51
  chose what made Worldwide Dojo stand out.
• 4:53
  So story with that, like I got in contact with Burger through
• 4:56
  e-mail. He told me to come watch a
• 4:58
  class. I watched a class and you know,
• 5:01
  my whole life, like I kind of been like football player my
• 5:03
  whole life, had that tough coaching and all that.
• 5:05
  And you know, seeing him like taking time to understand, work
• 5:09
  through it, show you what to do, you know, the fundamentals, all
• 5:13
  of that. Like, it really resonated with
• 5:15
  me because I don't think I ever really, like, had that like,
• 5:17
  mentorship more than a coaching. And like, he's been the best
• 5:21
  mentor I could ask for. So it was, I say this all the
• 5:25
  time, the best decision of my life was going to train there.
• 5:28
  And I think, yeah, it's just sitting on my class and seeing
• 5:30
  how he interacts with everyone and how he cares about everyone.
• 5:32
  And like, he'll stop a drill just to make sure that you get
• 5:34
  it. I think, you know, that really
• 5:38
  that caring about who he's training and what he's putting
• 5:41
  into these people. Like, he gave all of us so much.
• 5:43
  And, you know, to see him win the championship yesterday was a
• 5:47
  great moment for all of us. Like I I got to go in the ring
• 5:49
  with him and give him a hug. Like no one deserves this more.
• 5:52
  So yeah, that that's really what it was like, murder as a person.
• 5:55
  And then Preacher comes on, Preacher Phineas James comes on
• 5:58
  and starts training and he's given me so much also.
• 6:01
  So it's been been great. And yeah, it's.
• 6:03
  Been awesome. It's a great environment.
• 6:04
  I always tell people if you're looking to train and you're in
• 6:07
  that area, make the drive out to Bristol.
• 6:09
  It'd be silly not to. So check out the Worldwide Dojo.
• 6:11
  Always wary, accommodating for myself as a content creator and
• 6:14
  they're turning out some great students.
• 6:16
  Yes, we'll see you on the next time ABJ, we're out.
• 6:20
  Awesome, Jay.
