Meet Jason Epps, also known as Coach Epps, Guro Epps, and to those closest to him, The Epps: As the founder and lead instructor at Pride Mixed Martial Arts in Edmond, Oklahoma, I bring over two decades

I have had the privilege and honor of being a part of these events. I’ve seen first hand how men have transformed their lives in a single weekend.

This isn’t hype. Real work is being done here. I encourage you to be a part of this amazing group of men.

UM Dominion is a 3-day intensive event for men who are ready to stop drifting and start building a life that actually means something. Super Successful men are signing up every day because they know there's more to life than the Grind of Making Money. We must take back our DOMINION... our God Given authority and responsibility to lead, build, and maintain what really matters most.

“Responsibility creates competency. Competency creates meaning. And meaning is what justifies your existence.”

Most men want meaning… but they avoid responsibility.
They talk about purpose… but never build the competency to carry it.

That ends here.

Over this weekend, you will train with Dr. Keith M Waggoner, performance coach to the NFL, MLB, UFC, and top business owners and entrepreneurs, alongside Tuhon Harley Elmore, Grand Master in Filipino Martial Arts who trains Tier One Military Teams, law enforcement, and families from around the world.

You will be pushed through fire building, combat training, and a proven manhood development process that forces you to take responsibility, build real resourcefulness, and walk away with clarity, direction, and strength all with new connections and relationships.

You will not do it alone. You will build a brotherhood with men who show up, push each other, and refuse to stay stuck. You will create bonds that will last a lifetime.

Three days. Three skill sets. A lifetime of dominion.

The toughest battles are within ourselves. No one knows what's going on in the lives of others. Some have lived lives of violence they can barely contain.

Honor. Loyalty. Discipline. The Real Purpose of Family Gathering 03/03/2026

Tuhon Harley and Simo Krystal have built something that attracts serious people — not perfect people — but people who are willing to work, willing to grow, willing to be held accountable.

And when you get that many individuals from different backgrounds, different states, different walks of life — and they all align around a common standard — something powerful happens.

You don’t just get better at martial arts.

You get better at being part of something.

Honor. Loyalty. Discipline. The Real Purpose of Family Gathering In a world where loyalty is often conditional and community is usually digital, Warrior’s Way has always been something different. It’s been a place where men and women train hard, hold standards, and carry responsibility — not just for themselves, but for each other.

If you train to deal with Violence, you should train for the aftermath of violence. In reality, people on both sides get hurt.

When Life Gets Heavy, Training Is the Anchor

One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned—and one of the most important—is this:

When life goes sideways, most people stop training.
They think they need to “get their life together” first.

I’ve learned the opposite is true.

When you lose a job.
When a relationship falls apart.
When your health scares you.
When grief shows up uninvited.

Training isn’t what you quit.

Training is what you hold onto.

Here’s why.

When everything else in life feels chaotic, the gym is one of the last places where cause and effect still make sense.

You show up.
You put in the work.
You get honest feedback.

Effort still matters.
Discipline still works.
Progress still follows action.

Training doesn’t magically fix your problems—but it restores order inside you, so you don’t become the problem.

When life feels overwhelming, training shrinks the world.
You don’t have to solve everything today.
You just have to do the next round.
Breathe. Move. Execute.

That matters more than people realize.

Training also gives you agency when life takes control away.
You may not control the diagnosis.
You may not control the divorce.
You may not control the loss.

But you can still control whether you show up.
Whether you do the work.
Whether you quit.

And maybe most important of all—training preserves identity.

When life hits hard, the real danger isn’t just pain or sadness.
It’s losing your sense of who you are.

Training quietly answers that question:
You’re still someone who shows up.
You’re still someone who does hard things.
You’re still capable.

That’s what we really mean when we say trust your training.

Not just in a fight.
Not just on the mat.

But in life.

I’ve had seasons where I questioned myself and everything I was building—and the only thing that stayed steady was training.

That’s why we train the way we do.
That’s why we don’t chase shortcuts.
That’s why we emphasize discipline, responsibility, and consistency over hype.

PRIDE isn’t just a gym.
PRIDE is family.

And family trains together—especially when it’s hard.

So if life feels heavy right now, don’t disappear.
Stay disciplined. Stay connected. Keep training.

And if you’re struggling, or you’ve been away, or you’re trying to find your footing again—
reach out. I’m here.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t training.
It’s letting yourself come back.

01/06/2026

Taking responsibility for your own life gives you the power to direct it.

01/05/2026

You don’t need new goals.
You need fewer excuses.

Most people already know what they should be doing.
Train more.
Sleep better.
Stop bullsh*tting themselves.

The problem isn’t clarity. It’s compliance.

Excuses don’t show up loud and obvious.
They show up dressed as “logic,” “timing,” and “being realistic.”

“I’ll start when things slow down.”
“They’ll never slow down.”

2026 doesn’t need a new version of you.
It needs the version that stops negotiating with itself.

Quick self-audit:
What excuse have you been protecting like it’s your identity?

Cut that first. Everything else gets easier.

12/16/2025

Most people don’t fail because life is unfair.
They fail because they slowly negotiate with their own standards.

They lower the bar just enough to stay comfortable.
They tell themselves they’re “busy,” “burned out,” or “waiting for the right time.”
Translation? They stopped doing the work and built a story to protect their ego.

Here’s the part nobody likes to hear:
Where you’re at right now is a direct reflection of what you’ve tolerated.

Your habits.
Your discipline.
Your excuses.
Your circle.

None of that happened to you. You allowed it.

Growth doesn’t come from motivation.
It comes from ownership. Brutal, uncomfortable ownership.

This is the line in the sand moment.
Not hype. Not quotes. Not waiting until Monday.

CALL TO ACTION – SELF AUDIT

Be honest with yourself today:
• Where have you been cutting corners?
• What have you been avoiding because it’s uncomfortable?
• What standard did you lower to make life easier?

Write it down. Don’t explain it away.
Fix that first.

Part 2 coming.

We’re conditioned to think happiness comes from the next milestone.

But most days, it shows up quieter than that.

This mug was a Christmas gift from students who know me well enough to know I’d love it. Small. Simple. Thoughtful. And it reminded me how much the little things matter.

Being remembered.
Being known.
Being appreciated — even in small ways.

That’s fuel.

What’s something small that made you pause and feel grateful today?
