HOLY FUCK IT’S BEEN OVER 4 MONTHS SINCE I’VE UPDATED MY BLOG
I’m sorry, I am a baddd person
I still feel very excited to be travelling, and I still feel excited to continue. So here I am! Sitting in a coffeeshop in Medellin (well…actually it’s a printing shop with a tiny table, but close enough), with the intention to relay some of the experiences I’ve had these past few months.
I have some random “journal” entries that I have kept, so I ...

Today in the morning I took the Pro Luta Livre class. I considered NOT taking that class, because I feel I am not at the appropriate level for the class, but I took a look at the schedule and nothing else in the morning really looked enticing, so I just decided to stick it out a few more days til I ...

I SURVIVEDDDDD WOOOOOO. At 10 AM, I took Pro Luta Livre. Fun! Then at 4 PM I took wrestling. Fun! Then at 6 PM I took MMA. Fun! And I tapped my first person in Brazil! Then at 7 PM I took Luta Livre. Fun! I can’t believe I made it through 4 classes in one day, and I felt great!

After some existential crisis, I decided to do some travelling. Nothing like a good ole fashioned existential crisis to shake things up. I sold my car, gave up my housing, put my clients under the care of other trainers, put my stuff in storage, and disconnected my phone to save money while abroad. I drove down to San Diego to be with my family for the holidays and get things in ...

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 ...

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.
I Made It To the Finals in the Grappling Tournament!!!!
Yesterday was an interesting day!! Mixed high and lows, mostly highs 🙂 In the morning, ...

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 ...

woke up, chilled out
9 AM “MMA” class (jiu jitsu)
learned a little bit about take downs:
Morning’s resolution for the day: Only positive words come out of my mouth 🙂 I radiate love and warmth! Focus on being the best me. Let go of the past to open myself up to new opportunities. Greet and embrace the world with an open heart. This is how I approach the world!

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 ...
