Thanks Team Quest & Xtreme Couture

Well, I have returned from my 2 week beatdown. Spent a week in Temecula training at Dan Henderson's gym and a week in Las Vegas at Xtreme Couture. 3 Friends from Joslins, Matt Ferraro, Simon Marini and Rory McDonnell came down with me and I think it's safe to say that they had the time of their lives.

Anyone who is interested in taking their training to the next level would be crazy not to pay a visit to either gym. I have a multitude of people to thank for both the instruction and sparring:

Heath Sims, Ryan Parsons, Art Santore, Mayhem Miller, Bas Rutten, Sokoudjou, Joey Vegas, Jay Hieron, Benji Radach, Alex Shonauer, Kryztoph Soswynski,  Chris Horodecki, Sam Stout, Mark Hominick, Dennis Davis, Scott Bieri, Gabe Ruediger, Mike Pyle, Jon Alessio, Brandon Vera, Forrest Griffin, Tyson Griffin, Gray Maynard, Charlie Kohler, Phil Baroni, Trevor Prangley and probably a million other people I'm forgetting right now

Most of all, thanks to Shawn Tompkins for making all this possible. I owe any and all success to Shawn and his training.

p.s. Gina Carano = SHWING!!!!

best week of my life I think.

The training was unreal, and hanging out with some of those fighters was also pretty bad ass.

Thanks for inviting me Canario, and thanks for the help Shawn!

Shawn Tompkins is good for Canadian MMA.

Was Ga(y)be Ruediger as Gay as he seemed to be on the TV show?

You guys got to train with some of the top guys.

That would be a trip well worth the investment.

Gabe was nothing but kind and helpful.

"yes, but did he teach you how to defend the triangle my young friend ? "

I love the triangle.

I fought a piece(s) of cake once.

I know what Gabe went through.
