Jeremy Malaterre Effing Weird Internet

Anytime the word roulette is used I need to take that into consideration before making decisions. This is the predicament I found myself in last night. After playing a rather long session of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, one of my friends informed me of chatroulette.com. I, having no idea what the hell this site would be, listened to his brief example of the site and decided to look into this at 1 a.m. Holy shit was that a dumb idea. The concept seemed alright I suppose, if you're looking t

Chris Camozzi Muay Thai

So before i fought Chad Reiner I started working my Muay Thai with Kru Mark Montoya. He used to teach at Gumm MMA and just recently opened his own Muay Thai gym in Denver called Factory X.

Mark is a certified Muay Thai instructor under Vut Kamnark. Since ive been training with him I feel like my stand up had grown leaps and bounds. We went ba

Jeremy Malaterre Potential Fail

First off I really like my job. I am a trainer at a gym and enjoy several aspects of it.

I enjoy teaching people kickboxing and jiu-jitsu and watching them progress. I also enjoy the day to day interactions that this job allows for.

Two of my friends ( One a fellow emplyoee and the oth
