Good job guys
Scott looked awesome. Coach Herzog always has a bunch of badass guys flying the 10th planet flag with style. Makes me wish I lived close to them, to train and be a real member of the 10th planet family and team. Just one of the many drawbacks to being and hillbilly living in the middle of nowhere. :)
The only good thing about being a hillbilly is Guns, Just used my birthday money to buy a AR15 223. Best gun I have ever owned. Don't think I will ever touch my AK47 again.lol. Eddie I will send you a pic. :)
Conner: you gonna make it up to the two-day camp in May?
Jason, Yes I plan on being there. Hopefully my shoulder will be in good shape. I disslocated it before x-mass. Has been doing good but banged it up a little Saturday at Fredonia tourny. Rehurt it with a deep darce on a kid, got finished off when I got armbared.lol. Feels pretty sh*ty right now, Been iceing it for 3 days. But should be fine by then.
Looking forward to coach Herzog cleaning up some of my 10th planet game. You can only learn so much from videos. Never replace Zog sharing his wizdom/
I hear you Conner - you've got it exactly right - training from videos is very useful & it's all that we have out here in the boonies so we make due - but there is no substitute for learning directly from the Zog! NONE! I heard that he's currently 87 years old & by the time he turns 200 he'll begin taking on a 1/2 Yoda - 1/2 Hulk like appearance while still tapping fools in slow motion with his iron-man style.
I feel like such a slacker by only making the trip to Rochester a few times/year but I'm trying to change that. About a year ago I set myself a goal to open a 10th Planet Fredonia Hotbox in 2011 but family issues put my personal aspirations on hold. Well no more wasting time - I'm pushing hard to make that Hotbox happen this year! 2012 is my year!
I've even talked to my guys & have at least one that is willing to commit to a once/month pilgrimage to Empire with me. When visiting any moon I try to absorb as much as possible & bring it back to our gym but there is nothing like actually experiencing the training regimen implemented at a world-class gym like Empire. I want the guys I roll with to experience that in hopes that it inspires them to step it up here in Fredonia.
I hope we get a chance to roll in Rochester this May - I've seen you compete a few times & you've definitely got that terminator cool as ice style that I try to emulate. Win/lose/draw every match just seems like another day in the park for you. I have to wonder, just how many tournaments have you competed in?
Oh yeah & rest up that shoulder - I hope you heal up quickly. May is right around the corner!
Mike great work Saturday, sorry we didn't get a chance to talk much I obviously had my hands full ;)
Looking forward to seeing you get back to Rochester and getting the Hotbox offical!
^^ That's cool, I can see you clearly need a clone to coach all of your simultaneous competitors. I thought it was awesome just to see so many 10th Planet warriors on the mats this year.
Now that I've now got enough tournament matches recorded - I hope to get a chance to talk with you about meeting the remaining hotbox requirements when I come up to Rochester for the May training camp. I'm so motivated right now I am just dying for my 10P tour to kick off...on Saturday! 10P Charlotte here I come!
It's a good year for jiujitsu!
Mike I don't know if icey cool fits me all the time.lol. Took a little time off to refocus,and back to having fun again. I still don't like losing, but wins and losses at this level really aren't life and death. I just want to be the best MMA fighter in the world someday. All the tournaments are just making me better and more relaxed for the day those fights really matter. But thanks for complament for sure. It must be working because I really don't get nervous anymore. But that took a long time. To answer your question I have faught over 225 times in the last 2 years. Thats not counting all the normal class rolls, thats just tournaments.
