Good deal!

It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.

I didn’t believe it when I was younger but kids are one of the hardest but best challenges you can take on, and probably the most rewarding.
Congratulations.

The Goat

As a Minnesotan (along with Blackout612) I’ve been a follower of The Goat’s career, and have rooted for him along the way. I’m married to a lawyer, so I know how hard law school is, so to see him balance that with fighting was impressive enough, and now that he’s adding family to the equation, he’s officially achieved Zen Master status.

Also, he rocks a killer neckbeard, which he will someday have to explain to Claire.
