Part 6- Drake, 0 to 100

I was never a hip hop fan. I rather listen to rock, alternative, indie or the infamous Joe Rogan podcast  on my ride home after training. But that day, I was on cloud 9. I had a awesome training with Vincent one of the head BJJ instructor at Tristar, the mecca of MMA in Montreal.

I saw Vince coaching his guys during tournaments and videos of him doing BJJ. I was always impress by his resiliency. I told myself that I had to just speak to him real quick at some point in my life. Well destiny did his job and it was that day that I walked in the supplement store when he worked at and we started talking. I started doing privates with him a couple of weeks later. We both sat down and started talking about drilling,  the BJJ mentality and everything. My grappling game started to shift more an more. I went from never doing worm guard to understand the link between the half guard, get-up guard and linking it to the worm guard. It was all the same thing!!!! Just different variation.

I had many years of BJJ under my belt but only within months of training with him my progression were tremendous. Needless to say I finished 3rd at the Canadian National last June. My teammate from my original school helped me as well and I will always be grateful to have them. But sometime all you need is someone from the outside to fine tune your game a bit.

That why this song hit when I was driving home. I still remember the verse from Drake” 0 to 100 real quick, real quick, real fucking quick “

It made me think. With all the skills that I gained in the past years with different coaches, partners and martial arts, all I needed was someone to help me evolve differently from what I imagined. I became a better grappler without even realizing it. It was this fast.

On the other side, I spoke with him of opening a BJJ studio. Yet again the studio had his first purpose to be a strictly BJJ school. Within time, I decided to add more services to the center. The center will be elaborated in the next blog. Most importantly, I decided to challenge myself on top of it. The goal was simple, Try to open a business in 100 days. I can make lots of puns with Drakes song at the moment such as to build a legit company from 0 days to 100 days knowing that I Started from the bottom and now we here.

So far the challenge is still holding and I am going at it pretty strong. A lot of things are being done for the business, but like I mention before, nothing was done in the right priorities. Not because i have method in my madness, but just because curtains obstacles just appear in the way.Even though we try to figure them out and flag all the possible problems ahead of time. Some was solves quite fast, others took us by surprise. Needless to say, no matter what speed you decide to drive by, or how safe you want to be. The moment you are in business, you spend more time fixing problems than solving them, but once everything is align, certain things can literally just explode.

All of this to #makeithappen

Part 5-Doctor Dx: Sir you have a Cancer

What got me interested in this field at first was because of my passion for physical activity. It was actually a perfect fit for me and for a career. The way to describe me is that I am like a energizer bunny, restless, enthusiastic and especially full of energy. I knew that going into this field was hard to make a decent living. With hard work, some resilience and i was sure that I can have a share of the market and earn that salary that I always want. I didn’t go into this field for to money.

While I studied in kinesiology, my dad got diagnosed with cancer. I remember being at the university gym with a friend when I learned this. I went through my leg and shoulder regiment program like there was no tomorrow. I had to channel my energy elsewhere, I remember being enrage and sad at the same time. Not even a pre-workout or high dose of ginkgo biloba could've created the neuro-focusing and strength that hit me in that session. It was a different quite of pump, it came from within, form a part of me that I never knew. I was living on a cloud in which I couldn’t think straight, I was basically on survival mode.

On my way home back on the bus ride, the only way I could describe my train of though was as if I was on a dark cloud standing on frail ground, knowing that it was a matter of time that the soil was going to break.

Once i got home, I unlock the door with my key, I tried to hold in sadness. I was so angry by the word: cancer. A big chunk was in the back of my throat and I felt numbness in both shoulder. I stepped in, I saw my dad leaning on a counter, my mom whipping a bit of her tears and my sister speechless sitting on blood red leather seat we bought 15 years ago at Mobilia.

I walked and I try to hold in my emotions telling myself that I cannot let a single tear out because I needed to be tough for my dad. None of that happen, I burst into tears. I walked inside and straight to my dad giving him the biggest hug I ever did.

Through my temper, a mixture of rage, insanity and emptiness I remember feeling one things. When I hugged my dad, he was the most abruptly calm like he’s never been. I was the hurricane and he was the eye of the storm. All he said to me was the following: “Son, I am just worried for you since you might have it in the future.You need to know that the word Cancer is a hash words. It sounds bad because it is renown to be the cause of many death. Depending of the cancer I have, their is a high chance of survival. I am not worried since I will put up a fight for it”.

I quickly understood that he was the underdog, the black sheep against its own cellular activity. But he will never quite. Both my parents are fighters and survivor, they are known for putting a hard fight. If they can run away from the war in Cambodia, this war is also winnable.

I chose this path in kinesiology ,then focused my masters thesis on nutrition and physical activity for cancer patient, my osteopathic treatments towards chronic pain patient and channeling my energy into med school for one thing: I do not want anyone else to go through what me ad my dad went through.

I hope that one day I find a potential cure but also to able to create a proper protocol for the ones suffering from it. I believe in preventing it as much as curing it in the most holistic way possible. Certain thing in life, even though it takes time, it is worth fighting for.
