If you chanced upon sparring mates going at it, you may come to the mistaken impression that these two are enemies who want each other's throats. But the truth is, a sparring mate is helpful tool to improve your craft. The Almighty endowed us with a very helpful sparring mate to help bring the best out of us. At first, blush, this force seems to promote the worst in us. Upon close examination, we learn how this ostensible enemy is actually exceedingly good.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Grande première pour Aury qui rejoint désormais l'équipe de Sparring pour parler MMA sur ce podcast. On le retrouve avec Clément aujourd'hui pour debriefer en détails l'UFC Des Moines, avec le magnifique succès de De Ridder et la victoire pleine de maîtrise de Sandhagen contre un Figueiredo méconnaissable. Enjoy !

Gutes Führen war früher schon wichtig für den Unternehmenserfolg. Doch heute und noch mehr morgen liegt in der Qualität von Führung ein, wenn nicht der zentrale Wert für die Überlebensfähigkeit einer Organisation. Veränderungsdruck kommt gleich aus drei Richtungen: der Wettbewerb um Talente, die notwendige technologische Weiterentwicklung und insgesamt die Fähigkeit, eine ganze Organisation durch Veränderungsprozesse zu führen. An der grundsätzlichen Erkenntnis dürfte es kaum mangeln. Doch es ist eine ganz andere Hausnummer, wirklich sicherzustellen, dass im Unternehmen durchgängig richtig gut geführt wird. Führung muss bei jedem Mitarbeiter ankommen. Das ist keine Kür – sondern absolute Pflichtaufgabe für alle Unternehmen, die auch morgen noch mitspielen wollen. In der heutigen Folge beleuchte ich die 3 Schlüsselfelder, mit denen erfolgreiche Arbeitgeber für richtig gute Führung sorgen.    Themen:  Leidensdruck wächst: Wie Fachkräftemangel, Digitalisierung und Veränderungsdruck gutes Führen regelrecht erzwingen.  Achtung Buzz-Words: Warum wir Führung nicht ständig neu erfinden, sondern vor allem gut leben müssen. Bewusstsein schaffen: Warum alle Führungskräfte den wahren Wert ihrer Führungsrolle verinnerlichen sollten.  Klarheit als Grundlage: Führung kann nur gelingen, wenn Rollen, Aufgaben und Erwartungen geklärt sind.  System entwickeln: Kontinuität gewinnt. Wie man nach und nach ein zur Organisation passendes Führungssystem entwickelt.  Führung als Ziel: Nur was man messen kann, kann man managen. Deshalb müssen Führungskräfte an Führungsziele gemessen werden.  Führung als Superpower: gute Führung aufzubauen mag dauern. Aber es Ihre Superpower zum Sog auf Talente.  Wenn Sie Führung in Ihrer Organisation entwickeln wollen – Sie wissen, wo wir sind.  Ein erster Schritt kann ein Impulsvortrag oder ein Workshop im Führungskreis sein oder ein Sparring mit der Geschäftsführung.    Website von Stefan Dietz www.stefandietz.com mit weiteren Ideen und Ressourcen.

Send us a textOn this episode, we speak to Anna Whitwham about Soft Tissue Damage, her startling account of a healing found in controlled violence. Published by Rough Trade Books on 27.03 it charts both the loss of Anna's mother to cancer and her subsequent choice to battle unresolved anger in the boxing ring. From early sparing sessions to the draining seconds of the final round, Anna writes both with immediacy and unflinching honesty. What emerges is an exploration of the pain we choose, the impossible opponent in grief and the strange self-possession that fighting can offer.It's a book filled with voices from just the other side of the ropes too. Sparring partners, dance partners, a new partner - a daughter, a coach and a grandfather too. All have a role to play in Soft Tissue Damage. Each, a presence that means in some way Anna never steps into the ring alone.@fieldzine www.fieldzine.comwww.patreon.com/fieldzine

From Lost In Eros – Book 1Upstairs AdventuresIn 10 Parts By BradentonLarry.  Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels. Then Toshia climbed up onto the deck next to Don and said, “I like your friend.”Shelonda had gotten off Don and was now kneeling on the bench in the tub, facing them and stroking his cock. Don smiled at Toshia, and said, “She seems to like you too. Did you notice that the couple over there has been watching us?”“Oh really?” Toshia looked over her shoulder at them, then back to Don, “They're kind of cute, want me to invite them to join in?”“It's either that or back to searching for the garden,” Don said. Shelonda was now sucking on his cock.“Hum, right,” Toshia said thoughtfully. “Well, we're here, might as well make the most of it.” She twisted around and beckoned to the couple.“Well, if you feel that way, we could just get everyone here over to the mat area, and make a real orgy of it,” Don laughed.“Maybe later,” she said and gave him a quick kiss. Then she was sitting up to greet the new couple and to make introductions.Heather was a gorgeous woman with light brown skin, a cheerful smile, and long black hair hanging down her back, as well as a beautiful body with another world-class ass. Steve was a taut runner type with very light blue eyes and light hair cut very close to his scalp.Toshia slipped into the water with Heather, where the two of them got acquainted. Shelonda got up on top of Don again, but this time facing him, and Steve stood up over Don so that she could suck on his cock. As she did this, Shelonda rode back and forth on Don's body, while he reached up to fondle her tits and tease her nipples.Don could see Heather sitting up on the edge of the tub then, and knew Toshia was between her legs, but before too long the two women had made their way up onto the deck next to Don and the others where they moved into a 69, with Heather on top. Steve pulled out of Shelonda's mouth and went over to kneel behind Heather's upturned ass. While Toshia was licking at Heather's clit, Steve pushed his cock into Heather's cunt.On top of Don, Shelonda was working herself up and down on his cock as well as back and forth on his body. It wasn't long before he felt her cunt squeezing and pulling at his cock, and then she was shuddering with another orgasm. She fell forward on him, kissing his chest, and then lying there on top of him as they watched the other three playing.Steve was really plowing away into Heather, who had her face firmly lodged between Toshia's thighs. Meanwhile, Toshia was there licking and sucking at Heather while Steve's cock and balls moved right over her face. Don heard first Heather and then Toshia coming loudly over the noise of the waterfall. Then Steve was coming up inside Heather.As Don watched this with Shelonda, he got an idea and got her to let him up. When Steve pulled out of Heather, letting a long stream of cum and Heather-juice run down to Toshia's waiting mouth, Don took his place, giving a wink to Toshia, and then promptly pushing his cock into Heather's messy cunt. Heather pushed back at Don, and then lowered her face back down to Toshia's cunt and clit.Steve went over to Shelonda, who greeted him with a mouth that was eager to get him ready for more action.Don could feel Toshia licking at Heather as he fucked in and out of Heather's exceptionally hot and tight cunt. He held on to Heather's waist and fucked hard and deep into her. This time, it was Don's orgasm that set things off. He felt his balls tighten, his cock swell, and then his cum shot out of him in a long hot stream. He held still in Heather, trembling, for a long moment, and then slowly pulled out of her.As soon as Don was clear, Toshia pulled Heather down further, so she could get her mouth on the woman's cum-filled cunt. In another moment, Toshia was shaking and moaning while she kept licking and sucking cum out of Heather, all of which sent Heather over the edge again.Don sat back on his haunches, inordinately pleased with himself. Toshia and Heather were lying in a pile, with Toshia still sucking cum, and Steve had Shelonda on her back with his cock sliding in and out of her cunt. Finally, Toshia let Heather go, and the two women disentangled themselves. Heather grinned at Don, who waved back at her, and then crawled over to make out with Shelonda while Steve kept at it.Don leaned down over Toshia and said, “If you're quite through, perhaps we should hit the showers and get back to work.”Exploration ends with a bang!Toshia and Don splashed out of the hot tub and down into the pool, which they quickly crossed and climbed out of. Going to the left, they entered the large shower room. The water was, of course, wonderfully warm. Don seemed to just assume that he should wash Toshia's hair, getting a handful of SHAMPOO and starting to work it into her hair and scalp. Toshia relaxed and just enjoyed the feeling. She found herself thinking that after this was all over she would seriously considering trying to convince Sarah to try a three-way relationship with Don. She smiled at the thought and noticed that his cock was already regaining its erection. She gave it a playful pat and then stepped under the water to rinse her head. When she stepped out again, Don was there with a soapy washcloth, and began to wash her body lovingly.Yeah, she thought, definitely worth considering trying to see if this could work in the real world. He lingered over the area between her legs and she leaned on his shoulder to let the shivers pass over her. When Don finally finished there, she surprised herself by saying, “You forgot someplace,” and then turned around, bent over a bit, and reached back to spread her ass cheeks.“Oh, uh, I guess I did,” Don stammered. He didn't hesitate, though, to work his soapy cloth between her cheeks and then into her asshole. Toshia found herself wiggling her ass at him, enjoying the attention. Well, this is definitely something new, she thought. When he finished, she stood up, laughing a little to herself and got under the shower to rinse.When she was thoroughly free of soap, she turned to see Don washing his hair, cock standing out in front of him. Two options occurred to Toshia, and she chose the second one, saying, “Hey, I'm supposed to do that!”Don laughed, and said, “Well, you were busy.”Toshia shook her head at him and began to wash his hair and body as thoroughly as he had hers. While she was stroking her washcloth up and down the shaft of his now very hard cock, he pulled her into him and kissed her deeply. Reminding herself that they were supposed to be looking for the garden, she pushed away from him with a smile and said, “We can get back to that later.”When she worked her washcloth between his ass cheeks, and then mischievously pushed a finger up his ass, Toshia was a bit surprised that he didn't object or even jump. She filed that information away for future reference, as he had no doubt done with her reaction to that particular treatment.At last, when they were both clean and dry, they headed out to cross the gym. They both waved to Shelonda who was climbing out of the pool with a big, adorable smile on her face. Toshia said, “I could see bringing her with us.”“She can help if there's a fight, that's for sure,” Don said, seriously considering the suggestion.“Shelonda,” Toshia said, “do you know how to get to the garden?”“Um, no, I don't think so,” she answered. “I don't think I've ever been to the garden.”“Would you like to help us try to find it?” Toshia asked.“Sure,” Shelonda smiled. “Just let me dry off.”When she returned to them, they set off, leaving the gym and heading up the stairs in the corridor outside.As they walked, Don asked, “Shelonda, I forgot to ask earlier, do you remember anything before you were here in the Manor?”Toshia stifled a derisive chuckle, and Don shot her a mildly sheepish glance.“Before the Manor?” Shelonda seemed puzzled. “I don't understand.”“Where did you learn to fight?” Don tried.She shrugged, “I just know how. I like it. I mean, sparring; I don't like fighting for real.”The second floor was as they remembered from the day before: high ceilinged corridors, with soft carpet and dark-paneled walls. At intervals, there were candle holders set into the walls, as well as benches, which always seemed to be directly opposite mirrors. Of course, now Toshia suspected that each mirror was really a window on the other side. They could see any number of doors down the corridor which stretched away in the distance, as well as a few side corridors opening out from this one.“Did you ever fight for real?” Don asked Shelonda.Shelonda laughed, and said, “No. What's there to fight about?”“Well, how do you know you don't like it?” Toshia asked with a friendly smile.“Hum, I don't know,” Shelonda answered seriously.Toshia opened the first door on the left, while Don opened the one on the right. Though they now both thought the door to the garden would be distinctive and labeled “GARDEN”, they also had hopes of finding the Player, who had promised to help them. Toshia wasn't surprised to see that hers was a bedroom; a fairly small one by Manor standards; though, she was surprised there was no one having sex in it. She looked over at Don, who just shook his head in response to her silent inquiry as he shut his door.“I just don't think I would like fighting if it were for real,” Shelonda continued to muse.Don smiled at the young woman and reached out to hold her hand. Toshia thought he must also be a bit concerned about freaking out the poor amnesiac girl. Don asked, “Well, what would it be like to fight for real?”This was a poser, and Shelonda took a while to think about it, during which the group moved down the corridor to the next set of doors. In this bedroom, otherwise much like the previous one, she did find people having sex. A woman with rather large tits was on her back on the bed, with her head hanging off the edge. A man was in front of her, slowly fucking his cock in and out of her mouth and throat as he reached forward to squeeze and tease her tits. Lying on her belly on the bed, with her face between the legs of the first woman, was another woman quite intent on what she was doing with her mouth.“That looks like fun,” Shelonda said from next to Toshia.“Yeah it does,” Toshia nodded.“What?” Don asked as he closed his own door.Toshia pulled her door closed, and said to Shelonda, “Let's not give him any ideas.”“Why not?” Shelonda wondered.Toshia realized she didn't have an answer to that, so she just started off down the hall.“Yeah, why not?” Don asked, but he also moved on down the hall.“I think it wouldn't be play, then,” Shelonda said, abruptly returning to the earlier question. “Sparring is fun; it's play. Real fighting wouldn't be play, so it wouldn't be fun.”Toshia and Don thought about this as they checked another pair of empty rooms. Then Don said, “I guess I don't have any follow up for that.”Toshia nodded and shrugged, and they continued down the hall.Don was the next to find a room with appreciable activity. When he paused there watching, Toshia and Shelonda came over to see what was distracting him. On the floor at the foot of the bed was a man on his back. On him crouched a woman, leaning forward, who apparently had his cock in her cunt. Behind her was another man who was kneeling with his knees far enough apart that he was able to get his cock into her ass; unless, she had both men in her vagina. In front of the woman was a man with his knees bent so the woman could suck on his cock. With the exception of the man on the bottom, there was quite a bit of motion going on all around. On the bed sat two more men, watching the action and stroking their cocks.“Wow!” Toshia breathed. She had thought the things she had done already were pushing the edge.“That looks like fun too,” Shelonda said with a grin.“Have you done that?” Toshia asked her new friend.“Sure. Haven't you?”“Uh, no,” Toshia said, eyes riveted on the woman in the middle of the sexual performance. “I'm pretty sure I'm not up to that yet.”Don was looking from Toshia's face to the sex and back again. “‘Yet', eh?” he smiled. “Want to go in and get a closer look?”Toshia thought about it for a moment, but then sucked in her breath and said, “No.” She looked at Don with his impish smile, and with a twinkle in her eye said, “Yeah, not yet.”Down the corridor, they had to decide what to do at the first side corridor, continue on or turn to the right. Don, who had been in charge of checking doors on the right side, thought they should go to the right, but he admitted he didn't have anything like a good reason for this.“I'd like to continue going straight to make sure we come to the elevator and the stairwell,” Toshia explained.“Fair enough,” Don shrugged, and the trio moved on. As they continued down the long corridor, they saw a room with a writhing group of about eight women and two men spilling off the bed and onto the floor. On the other end of the spectrum, they peeked in on a lovely older woman sleeping soundly. They saw a complicated arrangement of two women with four men. They even saw three men playing together. One guy was laying back on his neck and shoulders with his legs up in the air, as another fucked his ass, and the third had his hand on the first man's cock stroking it intently.“How about that, Don?” Toshia asked with a smirk. “You up for that?”Don shrugged and said with a smile, “Eh, not exactly my style.”Finally, when they could see the elevator door and the open area where the circular stairwell was, they came to a room with one woman lying with her ass off the end of the bed. A man had her legs on his shoulders as he fucked her. Two other men were kneeling on the bed on either side of her, caressing her body and playing with her tits while the woman stroked their cocks. Three other guys were standing by, hard-ons at the ready, obviously waiting their turn.Toshia watched this intently, acutely aware of Don standing close to her with his hard cock, as well as Shelonda with her wonderful feminine body. Her face was flushed and she couldn't deny the heat in her loins. The accumulated arousal from spying on the previous rooms was only a prelude for the intensity of the eroticism of what they were watching now. She finally, said, “Now that I could be up for.”“Want to join them?” Don asked quietly.“No,” she said reluctantly. “It's her party.” She softly closed the door, noticing that she was now extremely distracted.Don led them past the elevator to the open area corresponding to the marble foyer in front of the ballroom on the floor below. This area was much smaller than the one below, and the marble stairwell took up all of one quarter of the space, as it descended to the bottom floor and ascended upward. Like below, this was a hub connecting four main corridors. There were also long, padded benches in the corner opposite the stairwell. Toshia found herself moving over to one of those benches, pulling Shelonda with her.She knew she needed to have a good orgasm to clear her head, and she knew Shelonda would be happy to oblige. Toshia sat down on the bench, and drew the other woman's face down to hers and gave her a long kiss. Then she gently pushed Shelonda down between her legs. Shelonda smiled up at her as she got down on her hands and knees, and lowered her mouth to Toshia's waiting sex. As soon as she felt Shelonda's tongue moving over her, though, Toshia knew she wanted more than that. She looked up at Don to get him to bring his cock over.But Don was looking down the corridor off to the left of the one they'd just come up. He waved, made a beckoning gesture, and then walked off into that corridor. What the hell? Toshia thought, and then, as Shelonda pushed a finger up inside her, ‘Ah, fine; your loss'. Toshia closed her eyes and leaned back against the wall, pushing her pelvis forward on the bench for Shelonda. The young woman certainly knew what she was doing, and it wouldn't take long for Toshia to come.Then, Toshia felt a noticeably masculine hand on her left tit. She smiled, and said, “Came to your senses, eh?”“I'd like to think so,” said Don's voice from in front of her.Toshia's eyes opened to see Don standing behind Shelonda. Looking to her left she saw a dark haired man with dusky, Mediterranean coloring, with his right foot up on the bench and his left hand on her tit. Then a hand moved over her right tit, and Toshia turned to see an older man with a lean physique and salt-and-pepper hair, in a pose mirroring that of his companion on Toshia's left. Both men had half hard cocks bobbing between their legs, which Toshia reached out to take in her hands.Toshia looked back at Don who was watching her with obvious amusement and arousal. She smiled at him, and began to pull and stroke on the cocks in her hands. The men were now pinching and pulling on her nipples, and Shelonda was licking at her clit furiously while fucking her fingers in and out of Toshia's cunt. Toshia imagined how she must look from Don's perspective, and then the orgasm hit her. She writhed there on the bench, anchored by the cocks in her hands and Shelonda's mouth, as wave after wave of ecstasy washed over her.At Don's gentle urging, Shelonda backed away. Toshia was vaguely aware that Don was saying something to Shelonda, but she was only paying attention to the two cocks in her hands. She looked from one to the other, and then sat up on the bench, leaning forward a bit. She tugged both men closer, and then leaned to the left to take that man's cock into her mouth. With her hand tightly wrapped around the base, she lowered her mouth down on the rest of his long shaft, all without letting go of the other man's cock, or even slowing her stroking. Toshia bobbed her head on the cock in her mouth, sucking intently on it. Then she shifted over to the other one, giving it the same treatment. Both men were stroking her hair as she went from one to the other.After a bit of this, she heard Don saying somethi

Is sparring in fight camp a smart move or a dangerous gamble? As fight night gets closer, every decision you make in training counts, and few choices are as critical—or risky—as sparring in fight camp. On one hand, it's an opportunity to refine your timing, reactions, and technique under pressure. But on the other, there's always the looming risk of an injury that could throw off months of hard work. In this episode, we'll explore whether sparring in the final stretch of your fight camp is worth it, or if it's time to shift gears to safer, more controlled forms of training. You don't want to enter the ring compromised. Let's look at the best way to prepare without taking unnecessary risks.
