Just a quick update: For Friday (after morning class), Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I was TOTALLY out of it. Felt like a cripple- couldn’t walk, NO energy, headache, senses heightened, could NOT get out of bed for anything. Tuesday I started to feel more like a human again, and I just did an hour of jiu jitsu for the day. Wednesday I felt even more improved, and just did morning class plus another hour of jiu jitsu. Today (Thursday) we ...

Monday= sick (food poisoning)
Tuesday= I took Muay Thai (among other things) and that messed me up for the week. I think I pulled my right calf muscle and I was limping all week. I kept on going and going, though, and yesterday I could barely walk! 🙁 Tuesday night I hardly slept.
Wednesday= I was dead tired. In ...

New Years on Phi Phi Island was great. It’s a small tropical island, with tiny little walkways jam packed with young people from all over the world. Flip flops, bikinis, sand, Ray Bans, little animals wandering around, sarongs for sale, peeps handing out flyers for the nightclubs, banana pancake stands, Australian accents, lithe bodies, and “paradise” may be words that describe the environment.

This past week or so has been great, just training same ol’ same ol’ 😉 Did I tell you a fellow FEMALE showed up in the morning MMA (jiu jitsu) class? We have been partnering up and become fast friends. I have felt though that in the time she has been here, my learning has not been accelerating as much. Despite two seminars by world class black belts and daily sessions, I don’t think I have gotten as much out ...

Why? —> THE SPIRIT OF THE CLASS!
It was around 7:15 PM, after we had completed our warm up drills, and we were in a circle stretching, getting ready to start the technique portion of class. Suddenly, all the power at Tiger Muay Thai went out. It was pitch black. Here we are, sitting on the mats in this outdoor training camp, gazing at blackness all around, and ...

I also called Orbitz, the company I bought my airline tickets from, and they said that I had the option of flying on January 20th at no charge because it was the “same class” of tickets, but if I chose any other day to return home, I would have to pay at least $500 for change fee plus fare difference. Since I am trying to watch my money, ...

Training = Fun Times
The past couple days have been great, just focusing on training. This past Monday through Friday this was generally my schedule:
9-12 jiu jitsu (3 hours)
grab a protein shake, shower, then
1-2 Muay Thai (1 hour)
then chill the rest of the day.
I am still figuring out if this works best for me.

In the morning MMA class, we did…um..I don’t know. I kind of forget. In one eye and out the other, right? In rolling at the end of class, I basically got crushed again and again by the guys. Which sucked. But I am okay with that, as I said, because I know it’s part of the learning process, especially when these guys are big and strong and I have to have solid technique to be able ...
Continue Reading →Just a quick update! After my time off of classes to heal up the staph, I was SO ready to get back into it! It sucked to have to “quarantine” myself. Monday I took classes and that was ever so fun. Tuesday I took classes and that was ever so fun. And today I’m ready for more! The only thing I kind of need to figure out is how to balance it all out. I want to take so many ...
