Directly after training in South Florida, I drove up to Jacksonville to meet up with Sherry and the family.<br />

Training, Training, Training... That's ALL WE DO!<br />
Well, yesterday Din asked if I wanted the night off. He said I am running my self ragged and it wouldn't hurt to relax and go watch a few fights happening down south. My options were to stay at the gym and continue drilling with his 270lb brown belt, or go down south and sit ringside while he commentates the fights. So I went...<br />

I can't even begin to explain the work we are doing at these facilities. As soon as I step out of the ring, out of the cage, or off the mats, I am either eating or sleeping. This is crazy...<br />

I will go ahead and call today "No Mercy Day". Holy Crap...<br />
So, first thing in the morning before breakfast, before anything... I had to strap on my running shoes and hit the pavement. After the morning run we met up at American Top Team for some circuit training and some no-gi rolling for a few hours.<br />

<br />
After lunch, we took a two hour drive north to use another American Top Team facility and train with some of the other ATT guys. We did about an hour and half of Gi training, another hour of No-Gi/MMA training, then an hour and a half of Muay Thai training. This is redonkulous!<br />
<br />
On a good note, my body is still holding up (barely), but then again, it's only day two.<br />

Day One - Complete!<br />
After lunch, we hit the mats again. We started out by free rolling and switching partners every 5 minutes (with a one minute break in between). After about an hour of this, we breaked from sparring and went into some details and instructional stuff. After we drilled.<br />
<br />

After lunch, we hit the mats again. We started out by free rolling and switching partners every 5 minutes (with a one minute break in between). After about an hour of this, we breaked from sparring and went into some details and instructional stuff. After we drilled.<br />
<br />
A couple hours later, ATT had their <i>BJJ Fundamentals</i> class which lasted for about an hour, then their <i>BJJ Submissions</i> class directly after. To my surprise, tonight was also their "in-school tournament" night. I was placed in the 170lb and below category. There was maybe 9 or 10 people in that category. Everyone else was in higher weight classes (yea, ATT has some BIG boys!).<br />
<br />
To make a long story short, I rolled with 5 guys total and beat all five on points.<br />
I couldn't sub anybody. =(<br />
<br />
On a side note, I caught somebody in an "electric chair" and when I started to stretch him out, he screamed, but didn't tap. He didn't look like he was going to tap either... so I let it go and just took the sweep. I didn't want to be the guy who shows up from out of town and hurts some kid with too much pride to tap.<br />
<br />
Well, like I said... Day One is complete.<br />
We left the gym around 11pm and it's now time to hit the sack. We start again first thing in the morning.
