24.01.2022 Not too often do you get the chance to work with someone who commits themselves to the process. Most people want it all and want it now. But it take time, work, blood, sweat, and tears. It takes loss, pain, and heartache. It takes tenacity, perseverance, and consistency. You my friend have put in your time. You are ready. I’ve seen and felt you hit this next level of mastering this art of MMA and I’m stoked for you to have given yourself the chance to show everyone else in the world what we @centralcoastmma and the rest of Australia already know. I couldn’t be more proud of your preparation and dedication. Let’s go out Sunday and have some fun!! Let it all fly. You got a gear in you that people can’t handle. Let’s Go @jamie_mullarkey #ufc #fightisland #hooligan #tenacity #team

23.01.2022 You might look at the photo and see just a handful of smiley faces. What I see here are 5 Elite Mixed Martial Arts Academies unified to sharpen and improve each other as well as their craft. Bjj Black, brown, and purple belts.l Boxing Pros, Muay Thai champion, MMA rising stars and Academy Owners all represented here in this photo! It’s brings me great joy to see how the sport/art of wrestling, and in particular Folkstyle Wrestling is impacting the Martial Art community here. I truly enjoy the individuals we get to work with on this lifelong project and can’t wait to see how this thing works out. I preach to my students at the end of class...Stay in position, keep your feet moving, movement creates openings, openings create Opportunities! Let’s Go!

20.01.2022 The hardest sessions that I can’t wait for each week. Luke and I have been meeting up each week consistently now for the past few years and we work his system of 5x5 min rounds of wrestling. Yesterday I forgot the gate key to the gym complex. Here we are 2 old dogs over 40 climbing over a 10 ft high steal spiked gate so we can get in and train! Haha! He knows all my tricks and has forced me to be less lazy and stay creative. He is an absolute beast to try to takedown and hold... down. He’s a great training partner whom keeps me accountable and I really appreciate how he travels up each week so we can get in our sessions. Find yourself a great training partner and do everything you can to help one another on the journey. Just 2 old dogs climbing gates to be the hell out of each other...what a buddy! #keyswereinmypocketthewholetime #nevermisspractice #partners See more

20.01.2022 Part 1: Easy Mat Return with less degree of difficulty and puts you right back to work from top position. Key Points: make sure your body is positioned over top of opponent. Focus your weight to the side you want to return opponent. Your knee blocks their knee from moving forward. When you feel opponent’s posture break....Don’t Fall Down!!! Re adjust to the other side and get back to breaking them done . #TWF #update #matreturnmagic #wrestling #nevermisspractice #getsome

20.01.2022 Every time I’m out raking leaves in my yard I think about this one time way back when Tim Mcbrian kicked my feet out from under me while I was leaning up against the wall. My back was so sore. I was about 12 years old at the time and it was wrestling season. My old man thought it would be a great idea for me to go put my workout gear on rake the whole yard. Hours of work twisting and bending!! I went to the chiropractor later that day and he specifically told me to not do any... bending or twisting movements for the next week...I couldn’t believe it. I still crack up when I think about that even to this day. My old man Steve Jones taught me a great deal about perseverance and work. Wrestling was the perfect sport to apply those principles. I was and still am to this day so lucky to have had this man in my corner. This is an old video of what every winter weekend looked like in my life from age 8-13 years old. My old man screaming, mom shaking on the video, and Jimmy Sutter on deck to wrestle next. If you have a Steve Jones story past or present I would love to hear it!! The lineage continues!! #tribute #lineage #staffordwrestlingclub #TWFwrestling See more

19.01.2022 Welcome to @centralcoastmma. Here they understand you can’t be great at MMA without pure wrestling. Thanks @rosstherealdeal for putting stock in our program. Watch it pay dividends! #wrestling #mma #centralcoast #twfprogram #stock #payoff

18.01.2022 Good Times, Good Tunes, Good Technique!! Let’s go!

17.01.2022 These days I’m choosing to live more by moments and less by years. This was a great moment today. Very thankful to be able to bring my boys to my workplace today @centralcoastmma. Mission has and always will be to build wrestling here in Australia large enough to where my kids can go into the local community and find a wrestling academy. That’s not the case right now but the way we are going I see it as a real possibility in the near future. Time to focus on the kids now! #TWFwrestling #TWFkids #vision #moments

14.01.2022 The Kryptonite to the Traditional Basic Mat Return. This Mat Return has not worked on me in over 25 years and here’s why. #wrestling #twfwrestling #update #counters #matreturns

14.01.2022 Staying Flexible. The older I get I still feel I have so much more to learn. Even in the areas I feel I’m an expert in...I still have so much growth to do. I was born and bred an American from New Jersey for 24 years and I’m damn proud of that. But I’m also damn proud of being Australian and could not be more thankful for the people in my life. It takes a village to raise a family. Im thankful for this village! Be blessed

14.01.2022 Spin Drill Great drill here to work in any BJJ or MMA program 1. Bottom Wrestler: Builds posture and foundation for mobility while protecting from leg hooks and breakdowns like the claw ride! ... Key Points: roll back, turn elbows in, light on your hands, shoelaces down 2. Top Wrestler: Working on positioning from bottom attacks, mobility to the back, and pressure to keep opponent carrying your weight Key Points: bolt chest to middle of shoulder blades, push head away, do NOT touch you knee to the mat, finish with your hands behind their arms.

13.01.2022 And then there were 3!! Otis Rossi Jones came into the world early Wednesday morning at 1:30 am! @jess.seija did absolutely amazing and continues to show me what it actually means to be tough, focused, and determined! Our boys have welcomed the new baby with open arms and we couldn’t be filled with more love, joy, and thankfulness (not so much peace!!) Life is full but exciting. 2 things though...1. I will have to unfollow you if you talk about the importance of sleep (screw all of you!!) and 2. Please don’t tell me how busy you are...I just don’t care!! #nevermisspractice #family #wrestlingcamefirst

13.01.2022 Let’s Go!! This Saturday morning at 10 am we have our very own private Zoom session with USA Wrestling Coach of the Year, NJRTC Head Coach, 3 X US Open Champ, 3 X USA World Team Member, 2 X D1 All American, and 3 X State Champ Reece @highlighthumphrey!!!!! I’m so pumped for this session. It will be 60 mins of technique, movement, and drills followed by a Q & A with the man himself. Clear your schedule and make way for this once in a lifetime opportunity! For details on how to join in please DM me directly. Never Miss Practice especially with Reece @highlighthumphrey @ Sydney, Australia

12.01.2022 Some great moments in sports right here. I’m sure all these champions experienced the highs and the lows to get to this moment! I can only imagine how many times they visualised raising their arms up and claiming that victory. My favourite is the last clip where the victorious wrestler raises his opponents arm high out of respect! Love this stuff! Thanks @sonnybrown for putting this together!! #visualisethevictory #raisethosearms #wrestlingmindset #mindset

12.01.2022 Part 2: Mat Return: Another option. Doesn’t take a lot of strength but you need to get your hips in and explode! Bring opponent forward. Key point for partner: keep arms bent and stay in a ball. When you hit the mat, you will be ready to fire back up!! Enjoy guys!!

11.01.2022 The Wrestling Foundation and @unitedbjjandboxing are teaming up to bring our Level 1 Program to their weekly timetable. If you are in the Orange Area get in and find out what the buzz is all about!! Cantact Daniel for times and details! See you guys on the mats #twfwrestling #twfteam #growwrestling #growwrestlingaustralia

11.01.2022 Finishing strong this week! Great work tonight team. Wrestling ain’t going no where. TWF ain’t going nowhere! It’s a good time to be stubborn.

11.01.2022 Now here is a guy who never missed practice. Meet my good friend Rich and his son! Rich is hands down one of the hardest working individuals on and off the mat. Rich wrestled with me all throughout club and high school (see second photo). Had a well deserved decorated wrestling career. Worked his ass academically and got himself into the prestigious Ivy League School of UPENN where he wrestled for 5 years. What impresses me most is Rich’s will to set a goal and accomplish it.... He set his sights on practicing medicine and he did just that. He has a no quit mentality. When I think of toughness, courage, and leadership I think of Rich. It’s so good to see his hunger for learning as you see in this picture. A purple belt in bjj with over 25 years of wrestling experience. Good luck rolling with that guy! His son is in the very best of hands because his dad knows how to work, struggle, and win! Rich is currently working on the frontline with corona virus patients and deserves more then this mention! Thanks Ferg!! Love your work @creepyvanco #nevermisspractice #bigferg #wrestling #bringTWFbacktoNJ See more

11.01.2022 Happy Holidays from TWF’s inner circle to yours!

09.01.2022 Last week we had over 250 students from 6 locations all learning a double leg takedown, a breakdown, and a pin from the TWF system. This week we will have another 250 students all working from the defence of the double leg. We are dedicated to help build grassroots wrestling here in Australia and we are implementing Folkstyle wrestling to do so as it’s the most relatable form of wrestling to the academies who we are working with. We look forward to raising up solid wrestlers who will be encouraged to further their wrestling for Australia @wrestling.australia in Freestyle and Greco. Together we can build this. This truly is only the beginning. If you are interested in getting involved with The Wrestling Foundation reach out...we’d love to hear from you. #twfsystem #grassroots #folkstylewrestling #nevermisspractice

09.01.2022 I thought I was prepared for our first son Levi ...but quickly found I had no idea. 5 years later life was getting a little too easy again and then boom #2 Sonny MAC was born. The dust hasn’t really settled yet and life’s still a bit hazy and Jess and I got the surprise of our life. Baby #3 is on board and surprise surprise it’s a boy. Levi heard the news and said he felt sorry for mom! I’m always preaching about staying ready...BUT sometimes you just gotta wing it and hope for the best. Thank God I married the smartest woman I know! #familyfirst #3boys #notready #marriedright

09.01.2022 Time to reap the rewards of all your hard work! May 1st will be the first of its kind. From 11:30 all TWF affiliated will take part in the very first all academy combine grading. Ceremony from 12:45. Shortly after we will begin weighins and comp rules. Again this is the very first comp of its kind here in Australia. A 10 on 10 Team Dual Meet Folkstyle Wrestling Comp just like the NCAA season. A standardised group of TWF competitors all level 2 and above. The aim is to promote... wrestling awareness, education, and safety in the sport for adults whom start their wrestling journey after their youth. @vt1martialarts will be competing against @centralcoastmma who wrestle in the same program learning the same techniques. The other focus on the day is about team. It will take a team to win the dual and each wrestler will play a part in contributing to the team score total. With 8 more academies ready to begin competing we are hoping for a dual meet season with an end of the year individual tournament. Exciting times to be apart of the TWF wrestling community. Thanks @vt1martialarts for hosting and let’s get ready for an epic day!! BBQ from midday. Good luck to all the coaches, students, and competitors! See more

07.01.2022 Well my 30 days are up on the @strobel_legacy_project and I didn’t quite get to my old college weight of 149lbs. I ended at 152lbs or 69 kgs. My personal goal was 20lbs and I did achieve that!! But more importantly I wanted to take on the challenge to honour this man Greg Strobel and his legacy. Great wrestler/coach/mentor with healthy lifestyle goals that really aligns with my beliefs. There were so many distractions along the way and it would have been easy to make excuse...s of why to stop. But that’s just not wrestling. My wife thinks it’s a midlife crisis thing and maybe it is a little bit...But I like the craziness of this challenge and I back it 100%. Until next year...maybe I can get all you wing eating, beer drinking has been wrestler dads and coaches to jump on board! Heathy living is the goal!! Thank you again @strobel_legacy_project for the challenge! Your father was a great man! See more

04.01.2022 Just going through some skills and drills from our @highlighthumphrey workshop a few months ago. No one could gather, gyms were closed down, but we still managed to get USA Coach of the year here all the way out to Australia and into your homes. He shared epic technique and some great stories of his own personal journey with wrestling! I really respect what this fella stands for. Super competitive but makes the hardest sport in the world loads of fun. But above all this, I can tell he’s a straight up solid family man. Great stuff Reece! Great ambassador for the sport of wrestling. Look forward to working with you more in the future!

03.01.2022 Define Wrestling in one sentence...? The Tenacious Pursuit of Control. The Technical side of wrestling has proven itself for thousands of years. But for me it’s more the mental side. To wrestle you know that it takes controlling not only your opponent but also yourself. Sacrifice, cutting weight 2 times per week, injuries, setbacks, diet, highs and lows, grinding day in and day out, winning and losing, focus, goal s...etting, self discipline, and Achievement. I started wrestling at the early age of 8 years old. I was an extremely anxious kid who had no idea of what I was capable of. Wrestling has shaped me to know what I am capable of both on and off the mat. I bought into this sport because of the results. That young anxious kid grew up and now that man can move across the world and walk into some of the toughest academies and stand in confidence that he earned his place in that room. I love what I do. I love what wrestling has taught me about myself. And I love that I get the opportunity to teach and give others the same. Whether I ever step foot on a mat again I know this...I am a WRESTLER!! Who Are You?? #wrestling #twfwrestling ##tenacious #control #capable #knowyourself See more

03.01.2022 Receiving some great wisdom right here from team captain and best friend Christian Dutton. Been out pounding the pavement a lot as of late and these isolated workouts bring me back to my old wrestling days. I used that time alone to visualise my up and coming matches and opponents. My anxiety would often bring me to focus on the struggle, the doubt, the fear of failure. But while I was working out... I would put those thoughts asid...e and visualise the lead up, the match, and the VICTORY! I grabbed ahold of the things I could control like my preparation and attitude. I couldn’t control the outcome but I could control my performance. So I would visualise that moment and how I wanted to feel. I can’t help but feel the same on my isolated workouts now. That this is one of those moments in time that we need to make a choice. My thoughts want me to wonder off and feel the fear and anxiety of this pandemic...but I’m a stubborn son of a gun and know that in this present day moment..I’m choosing to Visualise The Victory!!

01.01.2022 #nevermisspractice is more than just a wrestling thing. It’s a mindset and accountability thing. It’s making a commitment and working towards that goal together. You can take the person out of the team but can’t take the team out of the person!! Let’s go Nominating. @rjosephgalante. @pisto6
