Hopefully as soon as possible, I'm anticipating a fight in January or February.

Wicked!! Would be awesome if we could see it somehow after

MMA TOMORROW!!!!!!!
I have a permanent ride, so we're all good. WARRRRRR!!

w00t keep us updated

Monday - MMA 6:30PM-7:30/Kickboxing 7:30-8:30
We did some positioning drills (probably the weakest point in my game is position control), submissions from side mount. Lower body control -> To Spider Mount -> To side Mount -> To Helicopter mount -> To Side Mount -> To Lower Body Control. I think the twister was somewhere in there lol I don't remember. We did escapes from side mount too.

For kickboxing we did some partner pad work, doing some basic combinations, then we moved up a bit to more complex ones, Cross -> Hook -> Cross -> Feeler Punch -> Duck -> C -> H -> C -> Cross Protection -> etc. Then we did some light contact sparring with MMA gloves.

Tuesday - I missed the MMA class and went to the Grappling 7:30-8:30 class
We did some more submissions and escapes. Kimura, SAS, Wrsitlock, Americana, and the Chicken Wing (like a Kimura but torquing the wrist as well). We did escapes from mount as well.

Just a quick summary of this week, I'm tired since I just came home from a track meet and its 12:21AM over here lol.

It actually sounds like a lot of fun

keep it up, your doing great!

Haven't updated this in quite a while .

Well I've been attending regularly, Mon-Tues and Thurs-Fri since approximately the start of December and things have been going good. A little ring rust I suppose but nothing that can't be fixed . It looks like my first fight based purely on speculation would been in February or March. Been cutting fat through track and working on my strength via weight lifting. I'll probably purchase some resistance bands for running during track so I can put it around my waste and have someone hold the ends to increase running difficulty. I've also recently been thinking about switching my lifting routine from 5x5 to 3x5 or 3x3 to emphasize strength more, I'll ask my teams throwing coach when I remember.

Lost my Combat Sports MMA Hybrid Gloves, now I only have my el cheapo UFC and Everlast MMA gloves. I plan on buying a pair of CSI Safetech MMA Sparring Gloves, Everlast Jr. Mexican Handwraps (to fit under MMA gloves), and Sprawl Fusion-S shorts.

$29.95 (amazing deal)
$3.49
$56.50

Ended up getting:




and instead of the Sprawls, I got these instead:



They looked nice and were a great bang for the buck, most reviews are good but I've seen some bad ones so hopefully this turns out to be a good purchase.

Picked this up from a really cool site, trainevil.com:





Also in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day:

"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Shifted to a 3x3 routine now instead of 5x5 to place more emphasis on strength.
