so far. Cheeseburger's giving me a big
platform as well with Capture Lightning.
So keep, keep doing work on there and doing work around the
Indies. What is currently holding you
back or distraction from your goals?
I would say being able to fully focus on on wrestling itself is

(01:55):
is tough. Being able to, you know, get in
the gym constantly and, you know, go to training constantly.
Got to make it work. I have been but you know, tired
man, gets tiring. But you know, yeah, exactly.
Gets it, gets in the way. Training starts at six when I go
9 to 5, you know, so but you know, we push through it.
We try to get better every day, you know?

I've got a couple of you. My family, obviously, they
inspire me that they bring me upMy my wonderful girlfriend
supports me through this, you know, start.
We were dating for five years. Year 4.
I said I wanted to do this and she was fully supportive of it.
So can't think of enough. And everyone at the Dojo

Got to get in the ring with SexyEddie today.
Rest of my my trainer cheeseburger like when I first

(02:59):
started. I've had really great opponents
so far in this first year and I'm so grateful for them and all
of them and, and being able to pick their brains and learn from
them, you know, as a as a young guy in this.
So yeah, that's, that's who I'm grateful for right now.
And obviously family and girlfriend, all that.
But outside of that, every everyone that I've been in the
ring with so far I'm so gratefulfor and being able to learn

(03:20):

with ABJ. We'll see you on the next one.
We're out of here. OK, thanks for watching this

(04:13):
presentation. Like, share and subscribe for
more. We are back post credit scene
for that bonus question. People are catching on to this.
It's like Marvel, I, I, I don't,I don't advertise.
There's a bonus question. So the, the video plays and then

(04:35):
some people are starting to learn there's.
More after you got to stay for the credits.
It's just like the there's like Marvel movies.
So you, you, you've been around a little bit of time here when
you, when you were going to get into this business, why, what,
what, what pulled you to the Worldwide Dojo?
Like there's so many schools in the area that you could have
chose what made Worldwide Dojo stand out.
So story with that, like I got in contact with Burger through

(04:56):
e-mail. He told me to come watch a
class. I watched a class and you know,
my whole life, like I kind of been like football player my
whole life, had that tough coaching and all that.
And you know, seeing him like taking time to understand, work
through it, show you what to do,you know, the fundamentals, all
of that. Like, it really resonated with
me because I don't think I ever really, like, had that like,

(05:17):
mentorship more than a coaching.And like, he's been the best
mentor I could ask for. So it was, I say this all the
time, the best decision of my life was going to train there.
And I think, yeah, it's just sitting on my class and seeing
how he interacts with everyone and how he cares about everyone.
And like, he'll stop a drill just to make sure that you get
it. I think, you know, that really

(05:38):
that caring about who he's training and what he's putting
into these people. Like, he gave all of us so much.
And, you know, to see him win the championship yesterday was a
great moment for all of us. Like I I got to go in the ring
with him and give him a hug. Like no one deserves this more.
So yeah, that that's really whatit was like, murder as a person.
And then Preacher comes on, Preacher Phineas James comes on

(05:58):
and starts training and he's given me so much also.
So it's been been great. And yeah, it's.
Been awesome. It's a great environment.
I always tell people if you're looking to train and you're in
that area, make the drive out toBristol.
It'd be silly not to. So check out the Worldwide Dojo.
Always wary, accommodating for myself as a content creator and
they're turning out some great students.
Yes, we'll see you on the next time ABJ, we're out.

(06:20):
Awesome, Jay.
