I’ve always been a fan of BJ Penn, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and mixed martial artist. When I recently picked up his book Why I Fight: The Belt is Just an Accessory, I was hoping for a great read. I was not disappointed. In his own words, Penn tells the story of his life spent fighting, explaining what led a scrappy teenager from the rough streets of Hilo, Hawaii, to becoming, pound for pound, one of the best mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters in the world. Along the way, you experience both his victories and his frustrating defeats. It’s the story of how BJ Penn became one of only two fighters in UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) history to hold belts in two different weight classes. In the world of MMA he truly earned his nickname, The Prodigy.
One of my favorite and most versatile rubs is Curry Powder. The flavor is complex and you can individualize your curry powder by varying the amounts of spices.
Ingredients
2 Tbsp coriander seeds
1 Tbsp cumin seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds
1/2 tsp whole cloves
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 Tbsp cardamom seeds
1 Tbsp whole black peppercorns
2 dried red chiles, broken in pieces, seeds discarded (or 1 tsp chile powder)
1 Tbsp turmeric
Directions
Toast the whole spices (coriander, cumin, fennel, cloves, mustard, cardamom and peppercorns) and the chiles in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, shaking the pan often to prevent them from burning. Toast for a couple of minutes until the spices smell fragrant — you’ll know. In a clean coffee grinder, grind the toasted spices together to a fine powder. Add the turmeric and ginger and give it another quick buzz to combine. Use the spice blend immediately or store in a sealed jar for as long as 1 month.

How would you like to hire me as your trainer . . . for a fraction of the price of private personal training and take me wherever you go? Your exercise program will include a personal assessment, diet plans, and workouts designed just for you. We can communicate by phone, e-mail and Skype video conferencing. I personally demonstrate all the exercises via video demos and stretching pics, but keep in mind, your workouts will be tailored for you (not some automatically generated program).
