Wow

that was quite a humbling experience. So I went to Yoshida Dojo (fyi, Yoshida was a gold medalist in Judo for Japan and is extremely popular fighter now). So we went for a light jog first (yeay) then went to the dojo. Training today was primarily for MMA so we had a guy who has fought most of the top Heavyweights in Pride, a Judo gold medalist, Yoshida's personal driver, another Olympic Judo guy, the trainer, plus me, Ryan Bow, and another guy Mike. We put on the MMA gloves and got right into it, did a round with Ryan, then I end up going against the Olympic gold medalists who ,surprise surprise, was tough as nails, take him down and am doing alright until i get a little lazy, get reversed, pummeled, and submitted. Then we did Ironman on Ryan...even when he's gassed he's tough to control.

After that we took the gloves off, and just did submission wrestling. I go with Yoshida's driver and just get my ass kicked, tapped at least 3 times. Then I go with Ryan for 2 rounds, well it was more like a round and a half as I had to run to the bathroom to puke during the last.

After that we went to Gold's Gym, jumped in the sauna, did a quick warm up then did three five minute periods of alternating 1 minute sprinting, one minute jogging...or at least I tried, Ryan did it. Anyway, it really sucked. Then we went and ate Thai food, and now I'm stuffed and feel like a walking bruise. Tomorrow we are going back for boxing, and a little bit of wrestling. Hopefully I don't get my head taken off, I avoided it decently well today.
