Fight Postponed

My fight got pushed back to February 20th. Oh well, that's part of the game. I did pad work and Ju-Jitsu this morning. My hands are feeling like they have gotten faster. My ground game feels good, my positioning feels a little rusty, but it's getting better everytime i roll. Feels good to be back at Clinch. Decided to take the night of to rest my knee. It's feeling better. Did I mention how much I hate to miss a training session. Especially in the evening.

I just got off the phone with my brother Joey, who just got a call to fight Robert Conner, who is 7-0. January 30th in Greencastle, Pa. I think it's gonna be Joey's night!

Back to my routine

Well Christmas is over an we can get back to training. Me Joey and DD came back from the Eastern Shore this morning when we got to frederick we hit pads at clinch and then came back for Ju Jitsu and MMA class. I feel pretty good. A little rusty with the Gi on it has been a month. Still waitng to find out who I'm fighting on the 23rd. Feels good to be back in MD had a great weekend with my daughter and family. What idiots (me and Joey) hit hand pads on Christmas Eve at midnight in the living room with there girlfriend and mom watching and taking pics. Same thing on Christmas morning.

Congrats to my brother Joey on his dominating performance and win in the VFL! Hard work pays off!

Back to my routine

My takedowns are feeling pretty good right now. Cowboy is looking really sharp with his standup . I am ready to watch him fight on dec 19. All our tapout gear comes today so were all pumped about that, I just hope the weather does not slow them down. We had two guys fight from the house last week. Bobby G and Eric P they both won by sub. Theres another good wrestler Kyle just got here a few days ago. Kyle was a 3x State runner up.
