Bummed about losing my instructor...

He is moving back to Vegas to train back with Drysdale full time. It really is the best for him because he needs killers to push him and train with guys as good and better than him. He wants to make a career out of MMA so it really is in his best interest. Just bummed to be losing a great coach and friend.

There is some positive here though...apparently my interim coach is going to be some guy named Abmar Barbosa :)

hell yeah armbar

Change is the only constant, but Barbosa is an absolute beast so you are in good hands.

How do you like the place you are at?  I didnt look at too many places and was really just trying to find one that had a good schedule, which seemed tough.  Seemed like there was a lot of 2 day a week places and a Saturday, etc...

I fucking love the place.

No gi is Monday Wednesday and Friday from 10-11am and Tuesday And Thursday at 7-8pm.

Thats not bad at all.  



Ive just been doing the class as of now.  Once I have 30 days in, I will stay for open roll.  Felt like I needed to get my bearings, if that makes sense.  



Its fun being back to it though.  While I am strong, I am out of shape, when it comes to this shit.  Whew.  Which is exactly what I need.



Look forward to hearing about getting your purple next.

Where are you going now?

I am a long way away from purple man....despite my high hopes Phone Post 3.0

Probably not the last time you lose a coach. After a while, a solid group of higher level training partners becomes just as important as a good coach.

It's sad, but certainly the guy will come back to visit and a change of instruction and perspective is always good for developing a well-rounded game. Abmar is hilarious (is his fiance coming too, because she's a beast!!) and will be a great addition.

Jumping in here to vouch for this school too. Plenty of options for Jiu Jitsu and some top notch striking training as well. The gym is slowly building up some absolute killers. Phone Post 3.0
