n this episode of Gloves Off, we sit down with Webb County Judge-Elect Jerry Garcia to discuss his plans as he prepares to take office. Jerry shares how he is already meeting with county directors, department heads, city officials, and community organizations to better understand current challenges and ensure that he can hit the ground running from day one.
We discuss the needs of Webb County from the perspective of business owners, entrepreneurs, and working families. A major topic of discussion is the lack of manufacturing jobs in the region and Jerry's vision for attracting new industries, creating economic opportunities, and diversifying the local economy.
This conversation focuses on leadership, preparation, economic development, and the future of Webb County. If you're interested in where the county is headed and the plans being developed to move it forward, this is a must-watch episode.

Most people want flashy techniques.
Few want results.
The Gancho is one of those techniques. When it's delivered correctly, with the right angle, timing, and commitment, it shatters ribs and takes the fight out fast.
My uncle taught me that lesson years ago. The technique is important. Understanding when and how to use it is what makes the difference.
Don't collect techniques. Develop them.
— Professeur Paul-Raymond Buitrón III
You don't get stronger by avoiding your weak points.
You get stronger by facing them.
The techniques that frustrate you.
The drills that challenge you.
That's where the growth is.
The rest is just repetition.

In Laredo, kids lack after-school options. Without organized sports or band, many hit the streets out of boredom.

Buitron Academy is a sanctioned USA SAVATE club.
If you're in the area, here's a question:
How much better would your skills be six months from now if you started training today?
You don't have to commit forever. Just come in and work out.
Different backgrounds. Different professions. Different experience levels.
Same goal: becoming better than you were yesterday.
Whether you're looking for self-defense, fitness, discipline, or simply a place to challenge yourself, the door is open.
The opportunity is there.
The only question is:
When would be a good time for you to stop by?
Train hard. Learn something new. Meet good people.
Buitron Academy — Est. 1988.
On Point All The Time.
Most people want results.
Few want the routine that creates them.
The truth is, success is usually boring.
It's showing up when you don't feel like it.
It's doing the work when nobody is watching.
That's what separates people.

Another week is finished.
Some people waited.
Some people moved forward.

The difference was consistency.
Reset. Refocus. Continue.
