Author / John
The casual fan has absolutely no idea.
Meet James Krause. Professional MMA fighter, father, businessman, family man, and humble stud. His humility makes him a natural inspiration to the many amateur fighters hoping to scratch the surface of one of the fastest growing and competitive sports on the scene. We had the pleasure of speaking with him about balancing training, life, and everything in between.
A Kansas City native, James has stayed close to his roots and developed a thriving gym that caters to the fight community. When he’s not traveling, he’s passing on his skills and knowledge to the up and coming competition. James is a blunt guy with strong opinions about how the fans perceive the sport…for good or for worse. As he put’s it, the casual fan has absolutely no idea what it’s like to fight – let alone for 15 minutes. No “fight gone bad” or “fight gone worse” workout can even compare to getting kicked in the face, cornered against the cage, or giving everything you possible can in a good old fashioned one-on-one fist fight.
This insight into the physical and mental demands of fighting will leave you one: feeling like a pussy for ever complaining about an injury, and two: with a new found respect for athletes whose paychecks are dependent on the almighty win, not a bullshit salary or hourly wage.
EMPOWER YOUR PERFORMANCE.
You heard the man. Anywhere you need to find him, you can, under the name “TheJamesKrause”. That covers twitter, IG, and Facebook. Links to each of those pages can be found on this episode’s blog post. So, become a fan boy and closely follow the lives of he and his professional trainer/oil applicator/sauna servant, Tyler Minton ASAP.

well played @cali
Oklahoma Joe’s (now just Joe’s) is by far my favorite bbq joint in KC. Ribs, Ribs, Ribs! I have only been to Jack Stack twice…
Even in my ignorance of most things UFC, my hats off to the fighters. Very impressive what those folks can do.
