Well, I'm back from Vegas and I got to tell you, the Randy Couture's Gym is amazing. As I'm filling out information about me for the classes I hear in the background, "Yeah, this is Randy Couture..."
I was just shocked and I have to tell you, in person, that man is big. I mean he looks big on TV but in person that man is a lot bigger. I also ran into Forest Griffin and Gray Maynard from The Ultimate Fighter. It was awesome.
Mike Pile taught the MMA class and Tyson Griffin taught the Muay Thai class. The information was amazing and I got to do a little MMA sparring and I'm more than hooked. I realized I relied more on my BJJ than my striking which is interesting because I come from a traditional standup background and I thought I would gravitate more towards standing up. Well I learned a lot about myself that night I just kept taking my partners down and submitting them. On one note, there was one guy that had to be a wrestler and he would reverse just about every takedown I tried. I did take a couple of pics but nothing big, I didn't want to look like too much of a tool. Well back to the grind stone. I'll be starting DF 5x5 for a 2 weeks with 1 week of DF 3x3 then off to SE and kettlebell.
