Thanks Coach Herzog.... Awesome Coaching As Always !!!!!!!!

Thanks for adopting me into your 10th Planet Fight Team at the Bomb Squad Tournament yesderday. Great coaching helping to a easy win with a kid that was 2 years older and 40 pounds heavier.

Moved up to teen and lost first round to 16 year old I know I should have beat. I was exhausted from moving that big kid around for 5 minutes. They only gave me 1 minute rest between match's. That kinda sucked, but no excuses, I should have beat him.

I have to get down to work with you to get my game to the next level. I don't want to lose to these guys, I know I can beat. 4 years older or not, I want my game strong enough to smash these guys.

No problem, you know your our "special" step team member ;)

Ashley wound up with 2nd in the woman's absolute, and Nick took 2nd in mens beginner 160-174. Small showing for us with only 3 competitors, we had some colds and flus that swept through the gym the last two weeks. But the team is looking forward to putting on a strong showing at the NYS grappling championships in April.

Ashley's fight was one of the best all day. I thought she had her, close match all the way.

I will be at NYS championships also. That will be my first match as a teen. I turn 13 on March 30th so that tournament will highlighted in my notebook I keep. I hope I have a good tourney, that would be awesome birthday gift to myself.lol.

Zog is the man. Conner, get up there as much as you can. We're expecting big things from you ; )

thanks conner, it was a tough match - still have a lot to work on with regards to maintaining top control - it sucks to pass then the get swept a second later.

wish i could have seen more of your matches, we were competing at the same time most of the day - you are a beast.

Good luck Conner! Watch out for this guy when you're there. I heard he's hard to kimura or arm bar.http://media.schadenfreude.net/2008/...adenfreude.jpg

Conner I'm glad to see your stepping it up on the mat. We'll see you at the NYS championships, and I'll have some of my students on the mat too.
