Winning the women’s division—>>my first grappling tournament
So i’m pumped. I trained hard, takedowns were weak but I ended on top with the women’s division, granted I had two matches but I worked hard for the submissions. The first match I won by a triangle and the second match I came out on top with an arm triangle. I entered the Men’s No-Gi … Read more
Drill it. Write it. Refine it.
Thursday proved to be a very technical day of training. Josh came down and showed about 6 or 7 techniques, I currently only possess the ability to fully recall on a good day 2 maybe 3 techniques that were taught. Luckily I brought my notebook and plan to share as many with you as possible. … Read more
My Second MMA Fight:Glasgow, KY
Last Saturday I went with a few of the guys to my second mma fight in Glasgow, KY and thankfully it was less tramautizing than the last.

“Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is just like chess” ::Training Log- 6/29/10- No Gi
BJJ-Training Log- 6/29/10 I’ve decided to keep a log of my progress as I continue with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Today we trained for about two hours (give or take) No-Gi (without the white uniform, can be practiced either or). Usually I have a tougher time on Tuesdays/No Gi BJJ because the warm-ups are typically more intense … Read more
