Eddie,
In these troubled times on Planet earth...I am thankful for deciding to start training BJJ, beginning in January of 2010. I am extremely thankful for my wrestling base. Even though it had been roughly 16 years from the last time I was on a wrestling mat to the first time I stepped barefoot onto the mats at Relson Gracie, what I learned as a youth and in highshool helped me progress at a faster rate in BJJ. I am thankful for finding this forum and you, for expanding my knowledge on the mats and around the universe. I aslo am extremely thankful for the OG Kush I am about to smoke. I hope to someday soon make a trek to HQ and learn from the horses mouth. In the meantime, since I can't make it out for the Pam Ams, I guess I am going to have to settle for a seminar with Scotty, and I hope to shake your hand some day soon.
