What systems are most valuable, and what makes these systems so important early on in our journey? I discuss my top 5 systems for every beginner (you may be surprised). Also, I discuss my experience competing last weekend at The Revolution in Puyallup, Washington… spoiler alert; I hurt myself. I talk about my injury, what we gain from injuries, and the aftermath of the setback.Please leave a review, subscribe, like, share, and comment if you can.
