The unlucky break

I got offered a fight on the 18th Feb 2012 in Christchurch, New Zealand.

So I started to mentally prepare myself for the event.

As one would know you require a high level fitness and strength to enter the ring so I hit the usual exercises - skipping, heavy bag, pushups, situps and kettle bell stuff.

Last night I went to training. All was going well, learning new takedowns and practicing escapes.

I was a little too dynamic in an escape from side control and I tore cartilage in my lower rib :(

I will now need six weeks to heal before I can roll again.

No fight now, but a chance to help my team mates with boxing and cornering.


Train hard my friends, osu!

Grapple Comp Time!

I am currently training for the a competition in November this year. I need to cut a little weight and really work on my condition.

Spilt squats
Hindu Squats
Push ups
Pull ups
Neck rolling

The big one is grip strength. Now to find some big ropes to shake and pull weights!
