Hey man, Good luck with your goals in this upcoming year! You'll make more progress than you'll ever think you can.

Today, 12:48am

Hey man, took a peek at your progress pics finally. Good job! You can see a lot of the progress you've made in your shoulders and such, which is good! Great job!

Good to hear man. I'm three-ish weeks out from a fight. I'm stuck out of town from my gym until Sunday at my parent's place and it's driving me insane.

Oi! Don't start sounding all emo on me. As long as you keep moving forward, no matter how bad things get, there'll be a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter what it is you're going through. Trust me. Everything has a way of working out if you extend just a general level of courtesy to everyone you meet.

Dude, saw your blog. Sucks about the shoulder. Any ETA yet on when you'll be back on the mat?

Dec 16, 2009 6:48am

Yeah, that's actually something we're banking on is the fact that Im a really tubby 155 (comparatively speaking) and aren't that strong, but when I roll with the 45's I can pick them up and toss them around easily, so I scale well down to that. Here's to some abs!

Well, it's going. I'm kind of worn out at the moment from school almost being done for the semester, but hopefully I'll pick up here in a bit again.

Dec 10, 2009 11:02am

Thanks for the compliment, man. Always good to hear.

Dec 10, 2009 11:02am

Local MMA. I'll probably be at 155 for it, but I dunno. We've been talking about me going to 145 cause I'm still rather soft at the 155 range so it's possible I'll be going down further in the future.

Things are going well. I'm gonna be fighting in January, so that'll be pretty cool. I'm nervous as all get out, but excited.

Dec 5, 2009 11:14am

Awesome ink you've got there sir. How long did that take to get done?

Dec 5, 2009 11:12am

Hey man, thanks for the add. Good luck with your goals!

Dec 4, 2009 11:30pm

Hey, D, how are things going?

Dec 4, 2009 4:19pm

Yeah, that's where it's getting to for me. I'm supposed to be fighting on the 14th of January and only have 24 or so days left in the gym (6 weeks really) till the fight. I'm getting real nervous cause I can't get myself to eat right or workout on the road.

Dec 3, 2009 3:49pm

Hey man, how goes it?

Nov 28, 2009 1:32am

BTW-Read your blog all the way through. Pretty inspiring stuff there, man.

Nov 28, 2009 1:29am

Things are going pretty well. We're solving a problem with my having a very different game plan than what my coach is used to planning with. It's working out, happily. I've been on a card already, but the fight got changed at the weigh ins and I'm on again for january 14th at 155. Wish me luck! How goes your training?

I got kicks. They're not particularly hard, but they're definitely fast. I can throw somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-6 thai kicks in 10 seconds, which is pretty good for the gym. The faster people are TKD black belts, so that's there. I don't know about my strike accuracy. one of the issues my gym has is not sparring very often. I'm planning on saying something about that tomorrow at practice.

Nov 8, 2009 7:20pm

I don't feel like I don't have anything either. I think that I just haven't found it yet. What do you have in mind as far as ways of finding it? I'm mostly interested in building strength and cardio more than anything right now.

Nov 8, 2009 1:03am

I kinda do. I'm at the point where I need a plan, but according to my coach, I don't appear to be particularly good at anything, so we're working through that problem. The only thing I've got going for me at the moment is being smart and coachable.
