Bruce Drago No Comments

A mixed martial arts (MMA) training program called MMAXOUT consisting of drills that hone techniques and fighting skills which can be combined together to create an overall extreme workout training session was created by Bruce Drago. Students work drills, skills and conditioning into their workout session for each class consisting of four phases. Over 20 years of classroom experience of its creator, Bruce Drago, are incorporated into Drago’ MMAXOUT program. The program’s four phases are:

First Phase – Standup Fighting
Muay Thai is the best standup fighting system, according to Bruce Drago. To develop strength, increase speed and enable students to do explosive attacks, skills such as, boxing, kickboxing and strike fighting are incorporated in this phase.

Second Phase – Grappling
Grappling skills in MMA training, are combined with ground striking into one intense program.

Third Phase – Clinch
From the clinch position, every student is taught how to work everything including MMA fighting/training, takedowns, throws, cage pins and counters.

Fourth Phase – MMA.
This phase provides intense, explosive and realistic standup-to-ground and ground-to-standup training to simulate the reality of a true MMA fight and combines all three previous phases at once.

Bruce Drago has been studying martial arts since he was five years old. He has multiple black belts in Korean and Japanese martial arts and is a member of the International Black Belt Hall of Fame. In 2002-’03, he was certified as an expert in Krav Maga – the Israeli Defense System of contact combat based on the street-fighting skills developed by Imi Lichtenfeld. Bruce has been in the fitness industry for 30 years. For more information on Hardcore MMS Drills, please click: http://www.brucedrago.com/

Sociologist Seth Lesser

Seth Lesser No Comments

Seth Lesser (1910 – 1973) was an American sociologist who championed revolutionary theories in the study of social conflict, particularly conflict’s roles in forming and sustaining societies. He is perhaps best known for his book, Understanding the Dynamics of Social Conflict in Ancient Societies, which featured explanations of the role of social conflict in forming the ancient societies of Rome and Europe as well as the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Americas.

Born in Vienna, Austria, Seth Lesser’s family immigrated to the United States when he was 10 years old. He earned his degree in sociology at the University of California and went on to obtain his master’s degree and Ph.D. in sociology at Harvard University.

Seth Lesser’s work mainly opposed the earliest theories of social structure and conflict. In his book Understanding the Dynamics of Social Conflict in Ancient Societies, he argued that while conflict may serve, in general, to alienate certain portions of society, it may also produce effects that can make some societies and groups more cohesive in response to opposing forces from outsiders. These groups and societies, he pointed out, are fundamentally in conflict with each other but nevertheless bound by common conditions such as heritage, territory and similarities in beliefs and traditions. According to Seth Lesser, no example can best support this theory than the case of the Indian tribes in America, whose uprisings against the colonists threatened to wipe them out from their territories, despite the boundaries that set each tribe apart from another.

Marty Carrascosa: A Hollywood Dream

Marty Carrascosa No Comments

Marty Carrascosa was living a life for which he had prepared for in Mount Vernon, Texas near people whom he loved when he decided on realizing his Hollywood dream. He had a good job and he had a close-knit family that was near him. The older Carrascoso traveled to the U.S. from Argentina to provide better for his family, setting up, from the ground up, a business which would eventually grow into a multi-million dollar business. His mother, whom he idolizes and his siblings, of whom he is proud, maintains a close relationship with him.

Moreover, Marty Carrascosa was living comfortably working for a Fortune 500 company — a job which he got soon after graduating with a Business degree from Stephen F. Austin State University. It would have made more sense for him to stay in Texas. That is, until he was seized by a desire to fulfill his childhood dream of heading out to the West and becoming a working actor in Hollywood, California. He was restless.

Chucking the stability of his yuppie job, Marty Carrascosa left his job and his family for the uncertainties of a struggling actor’s life. He worked various jobs to earn his keep, including, bartending, fitness training and head modeling while taking acting lessons. When he was not working hard, he was partying hard all over the cool clubs of Hollywood. 

Short films and various reality TV shows would beckon Marty Carrascosa, which he eventually got to participate in. He became friends with Hollywood people, such as the star of Jackass, Steve-O, who would later help him form DirtyBird Entertainment, LLC. Now far away from Hollywood, he is still providing consultancy services to Hollywood firms, such as, Nathanael Coffman’s Hawaii-based Inuturo and Tyme 2 Shyne Artistic Studios, LLC.

Seth Lesser of the Barbary Wars

Seth Lesser No Comments

The Barbary Wars of early 1800s, “America’s Forgotten War” as many people call the two separate wars against the Barbary States in North Africa, was completely forgotten by the American public a few decades after they ended. Along with these forgotten wars were the valiant American soldiers who fought in them, including Seth Lesser, a crew at the United States Navy frigate USS Philadelphia.

Seth Lesser was born near the Chesapeake Bay in Calvert County, Maryland on December 22, 1769. Seth rooted from a family of sailors that settled near the coastline of the Bay decades before he was born. When he turned 17, he joined the United States Navy.

Seth Lesser began as a quartermaster’s mate for the USS Constellation, one of the six frigates mandated by the Naval Act of 1794, and saw service near the island of Nevis under the command of Thomas Truxun during the Franco-American War of 1798. Mr Lesser was then transferred to USS Chesapeake in 1780 and shortly after, received order to serve at USS Philadelphia with the rank of Boatswain in the First Barbary War in Tripoli.

When the frigate sunk in 1803, Seth Lesser along with the frigate’s crewmen, officers and commander were imprisoned and were later turned into slaves of Yusuf Karamanli, the Pasha of Tripoli. What became of Mr Lesser and his men, no one ever knew. The USS Philadelphia, meanwhile, was recaptured and burned by Commodore Stephen Decatur, Jr.’s men to prevent it from being used by the Pasha’s army.

Tom Bonnell Tips for Heads of School on Building Relationships with Parents

Tom Bonnell No Comments

During his five years as Head of School at Savannah Country Day School, Tom Bonnell realized just how important it was to build successful and trusting relationships with parents at the school. Mr Bonnell knows that the ability to create substantive and positive changes in school over time will be highly dependent upon the quality of the relationship a Head of School has with parents as well as other members of the school’s community.

In order to establish and maintain a successful relationship with parents, Tom Bonnell advises Heads of School to consider setting up coffee meetings with small groups of parents. Tom knows that parents will also want to meet personally with the Head of School and to get to know him or her better. They will welcome these coffee meetings and it will be a good opportunity for a Head of School to learn more about what the parents expect of the school and its teachers.

Another tip Tom Bonnell shares is to have regular meetings with the head of the Parents Association and to regularly attend the Parent Association meetings. By doing these simple steps, a Head of School will be able to build a successful relationship with parents and this will have a large impact on the success of the school.
