is that ari from madison, wi? if so what's up brah! hows life in the City treating you. you have no idea how much i miss NYC and training at Studio X with the boyz. Fabio is an amazing instructor. truly a hidden gem. and marcelo is...well he's marcelo lol.
Waveman thanks for the kind words brah! will you be making the journey out to Mundials this year? please say no because you made my life hell for 7 minutes. you have a great guard brah!
to all in the newark area please check it out. im really looking forward to sharing the knowledge that i have gained from 25 years of grappling...damn that makes me sound old.
good to heard from you ari. nah that wasnt me initially. mi chica posted and wrote that for me. im not cool/bad ass enough to talk in the 3rd person yet. i need more training first. but she did a decent job without sounding to over the top.
im planning to spend a week in august at Studio X to help get ready for Mundials. i was goint to try to make it a month, but i took on this newark, oh venture.
you were starting to figure out the pass already so thats why i moved back to ohio from NYC. without that i had nothing for you so i figured it would be better to move than to have to constantly tap brah!
I think you're cool enough to talk about yourself in the 3rd person if it makes you feel any better. I still remember the first time I rolled with you at Jorge's old gym and couldn't believe how badly I was getting worked by another whitebelt. Little did I know haha.
ahh the notorious white belt i used to wear... i still break that bad boy out from time to time. i only had to wear it 3 months before relson gave me my blue so i figure i still need to get some use out of it lol!
