Doin it in tha Dark

The highlight of this week’s training I’d say was Thursday night jiu jitsu class.

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 Made It To The Finals!

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.

Smashed in Class But It's a Great Day!

Ahh, good day so far.

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 ...

Same but Different

Friday:

  • head to the side, grasp under their butt, lift them up, and drive them to the side with your head
  • lower your level, drive your forehead into their sternum, and lift their legs so they slam onto their back
  • pummel, bump your shoulder with the shoulder of the hand NOT in the underhook (keep the underhook), push their head down and wrist clasping their chin, yank ...

Day #3 @ Tiger Muay Thai & MMA

Today was another great day 🙂 After the vigor of the past two days, I prolly cut my exercise in half today. In the morning, I had a private session with a Muay Thai trainer who killed me with cardio. I haven’t been pushed that hard since…I don’t know how long it’s been. Fun times!

Then after that, I had to walk around the corner to the weight room, because I have not lifted in ages and wanted to touch the ...

Today's Menu: "MMA" + JJ + Muay Thai

Today was my second day of training, and it felt awesome.

First off, my elbow is actually feeling better today than it did yesterday! And my toe seemed pretty much, if not all the way healed. I have still been taping it, but I have been doing kicks, taking classes, and having to jog in classes no problem. YES!!!!! THANK YOU!!!

I woke up and decided to take a fasted “exploratory” walk. I didn’t get too see much, though, because there is ...

After too little sleep (went to bed late because I went with peeps to the night market, then in the morning I woke up at 4:30 AM because my Australian friend was frikking drunk and stumbled into my room to chat because I accidently left the door unlocked! There went my sleep. I “tried” to sleep but no sleep was happening. At 6 AM, I got out of ...
