One other thing, the qaulity of grappling, imo, at 10p indy during that time, was a direct result of the instruction provided by mike tom. Bill may have taken all of the glory, but mmt is the real reason people were getting good. Mike Tom never asks for any credit or aknowledgement, but if it werent for him I dont believe 10 indy would have done as well as they did at comps.
Mike Tom is a solid dude, and a solid purple belt. Heart made of gold.Quote:

I'm a history buff. To those who know me this is common knowledge. So when we were set to go to the Smithsonian I was super hyped. We were gonna bro tha shit down on some historical revelations. Forecast, awesome.
But there's a darker side to the story. My love for history is trumped by two things. Freebasing crack cut with pcp and chicken wings. Needless to say I spent all my $ on dat base, so Brandon and Sean had to spring for the wings. So we're there, having a blast, and all I can think about is that bucket o'wings ain't big enough. I'm trying to figure out how I can swindle my close friends out of their wings, when lo and behold. Ol' Gabe comes struttin in shootin his mouth off. Sean ain't ha in it and Brandon was enthralled on coaching optimum control to administer the ultimate 'pimp slap'. I could see the situation was completely under control, so I did what needed to be done. I ate the entire deliscious bucket o wings. Solo. Came up at the hospital but Sean wouldn't come off his breast milk, because he was truly remorsefull for the state he put Gonzo in. I used that time to base in the stairwell.
What I'm trying to say is, I got a free bucket o'wings that day. Didn't even have to use my a.k. Yeah, have to say, it was a good day.
Jiujitsu = life. Sometimes in jiujitsu you're going to get caught. Multiple times per night if you're still in the beginning stages. But when we are forced to tap, we don't get up and leave. We keep going.. Because we understand that being beaten/humbled is what it takes to grow and get better.
Bill, as someone who has spent the first 20 years of my life as a piece of crap.. Please hear me out. Jiujitsu and life are one in the same. The only way to better yourself, is to admit you made a mistake and then learn from it by consciously choosing to avoid the same mistake again until it's muscle reflex. In this case, you were rolling and got caught. It's part of being human. The shame isn't in admitting you were wrong, the shame was in the action. Admitting you were wrong is the first sign of growth and improvement. You only get one life.. Might as well learn from the inevitable mistakes as quickly as possible so you aren't forced to make them again later down the road. But whether you choose to lay it all out there for the ones you've lied to, or choose to remain holding onto the belief you've done nothing dishonest. Just know I love you as a human and I'm pulling or you. I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't. ;)

So I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for those emails guys.
I'm almost positive the dude Mike Tom tapped was a blackbelt.Quote:
