Well back in the gym tomorrow gotta start dieting and training for the next one which is dec 13th I will log my training tomorrow.

Tonight was open gym, mostly muay thai but also some groundwork. Started off with me and Yancy throwing combos on the heavy bag and him helping me with technique. Then we got the kick shields out and threw teep/body kick combos then inside and outside leg kicks. Then we worked counters to the thai clinch which was some awesome technique and then countered jabs with head inside singles. Then we rolled for about 40 minutes. Started off by getting submitted about 5 times in 10 minutes by Neal Craft and felt like a turd but he is a huge 170 pounder who weighs 193 right now and he is pro and very technical and powerful. Then I rolled with Yancy and we had a very high paced roll with lots of scrambles. He mounted me a few times and did a good job of holding the mount and had a few close armbar attempts. I had a tight triangle but he exploded out of it and I also had a very deep anaconda choke and I rolled him all the way over and walked toward his feet but he got my grip off. I have been having a lot of success lately with the anaconda from the sprawled out position. Neither of us finished any subs though. I finished off with a guy named Jeff who is not good on his feet at all but he is really quite competitive on the ground, good wrestler and decent jiu jitsu. We scrambled around a bit and he locked in a very tight triangle from top but I managed to sweep him but was still stuck in the triangle I was about 2 seconds from tapping when I was finally able to posture up out of the triangle. I ended up just getting him completely exhausted and finishing a kimura from north south but he was so tired he did not even really fight it.
I also found out I have a fight Dec. 20th in Kentucky. It is an amateur fight but with pro mma rules which is awesome, I have been itching to kick someone in the head lol. The only thing is I am also fighting Dec 13th in Cincinnati so I am going to have to force this fight to the floor and get a submission because I cant afford to get banged up fighting twice in two weeks and three times total in one month. I honestly dont care though this is what I want to do and hopefully I am healthy enough after the ICE show to compete in Kentucky as well.

Just followed your sig! That was a sweet win man. Your movement was great and you capitalized right away, I'd love to get to a start like that. I understand you've been wrestling for a long time, how long have you been training to specifically fight?

thank you. Honestly, I have only been formally training for like 2 months. I went to Jorge Gurgel's like 10 times last year and then started training at Walker's about a month ago and got a fight immediately. But I have been rolling with guys who fight, and learning as much as I can through instructionals, books, etc... for like 4 years and I have been sparring with whoever I can that whole time and hitting pads etc.. I also wrestled for 3 years but I geared my wrestling style toward mma.

Geeze I am getting lazy on this thing. Last night was like 500 kicks on the heavy bad with my muay thai coach Kru Rob Walker critiquing me and fixing my technique. I feel like I get better everytime I work with him. Then we rolled and Neal helped me with some half guard options(mostly sweeps and kimura defense) that I have been struggling with and I showed him some mma useable single leg counters. Also drilled some knee bars.

I also lifted at the y did some squats and a bunch of full body functional type stuff. Legs very sore today from combo of squats/kicks. Today I had one day drill for the reserves so I just switched today to my rest day instead of tomorrow. I will probably just do light pad work tomorrow with my bro because the gym is closed on sundays and probably hit up the y for some cardio. Not having to cut to 145 for this fight is great especially around the holidays.

Thanks a lot man, yeah it would be sweet to have an mmaforum vs. mmaforum member fight someday haha or yeah we could train together when we both make it big.

Choke_Wire

ya dude we could both wear out mmaforum shirts and stuff and people would be like "hey I used to be MOTM". Ya I'm kinda thinkin of taking just one fat pay check and road tripin somewere in the states real good training facility. Vancouvers not bad and I love it here but mma kinda banned and the gyms are b class at best. I would assume ohio would have good training. The states put alot more money in the sports than Canada does.

Oh yeah, Ohio would be a good place to go. Just off the top of my head there is Jorge Gurgel's place which is really nice and their instructors are great. Especially for submission grappling they have Jon Stutzman who is a black belt. I have never worked with him but they also have a brown belt named Dan Doerner who is an absolute stud and really good at no-gi. Everything I ever learned from him was very useful for mma. There is Griffon Rawl where Jason Dent trains and then Prodigy in Springboro Ohio which is where I now train and it is half-owned by Bas Rutten and we have Jim Kelly as our bjj coach(black belt under Rickson Gracie, lived with him for four years), Josh Souder is one of the pro fighters and there are nothing but world class wrestlers. We are actually trying to get the rings and be an olympic training facility so its awesome and probably the nicest place you will ever see.
Plus as far as fighting goes Ohio's scene local circuits are super active. NAAFS has an event almost every weekend there there is ICE in Cincinnati that is pretty much monthly and there are fights in Toledo, Columbus, and Dayton on a regular basis as well so you can fight whenever you want here. Overall, Ohio kind of sucks but as far as fighting goes its hard to beat.

ya that's what I'm looking for. Vancouver has too much good distractions and no real fighting crowd (there is but small). I need a place where i could live dirt cheep and have nothing to do but train.
