BUY MY ART

Why should you buy my art?

I will use proceeds to fund a wild idea I have.

I will find, locate partner or employee professional soccer players to provide daily training to my community.

Together we will structure the training sessions to mirror how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is taught.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fundamentally changed the martial arts community. I believe a large part of the reason is because of their training structure.

If you want to learn BJJ this is generally what will happen.

-it will be made available daily, by highly experienced professionals.

-you will train with everyone. Everyone is welcome. There is a wide skill and age range in training partners.

-instructors will teach the class one skill a week.

-1/3rd of class on that skill, 2/3rd of class fighting.

If you want to learn soccer this is what will happen.

-You join as a youth and get more of a baby sitter than a professional coach. You may never learn a proper pass. practice once a week, game once a week.

-find a better league, coaches have played before, practices are 2x a week, games 2x a week.

-you train with about ten people your age and skill level.

-if you want to play daily you are on your own, with a wall, and if you're lucky you will have a friend group that also wants to play daily. it's up to you. very exclusive, very limited

You buy my paintings, with that money, I am altering how this skill is taught. No one else will. I am changing the culture into a martial one. a competitive one. a warrior one. where skill is allowed to develop through discipline, where respect is radiated. For many, it's a place where its the first time you actually feel what respect is.

I believe I can do this with soccer.

You buy my paintings and you will see, we will all see.

You buy my paintings and the amount of respect shared will increase in my community.

That's to say the least. There is so much more.
