Changed My Mind.

[BIG BIRD]

I will have one possibly two more competitions. One will be on December 11 at Marcelo Alonzo's tourney after the Carlson Gracie seminar. I expect to get my ass handed to me. But that is half the fun. I have always thought it takes more balls to compete in something that you do not have the most knowledge in. Which for me that is this tourney. You only learn by getting beat and by competing.

Also at the boxing gym today I had to spar with this kid who won the region at 201+ because nobody else was his size in the gym. I am about 200 out of shape right now and I fought at 165,but anyway I stepped out of the trainer role and into the ring. I handled him fairly easily. I was shocked how I frustrated this big man(he walks around at 215). My fellow trainers who are my old coaches suggested maybe I could help the team out and enter the Oregon Golden Gloves in March as a farewell tournament,to help us win the team trophy. I have yet to run this by my g/f but if she okays it I am all for it. We have it planned so I work corners at the local smokers and tell people I am retired and then I show up at the weigh-in's and step onto the scale. Lets all just pray that I get the okay.

[Ronin]

Will Mr. Snuffaluffagus be working your corner?

I heard the two of you had a falling-out.

[SweepEm]

Mr. Pollo Loco:

Well, that was a short lived retirement. Good luck in your training.

Punch! jab! jab! roundhouse! jab! uppercut! punch! jab!....

[BIG BIRD]

I have decided not to tell my mother or my g/f. I go train at the bjj school 2 a week anyway and I am at the gym every night training fighters or so they think. They will find out the truth when we go to fights and I do my usual disappearing act for an hour or so and they see me enter ther ring or step onto the mat.

[dan downard]

Bird,where is your BJJ school?

[BIG BIRD]

I train with David Reese a former European muay thai champion and Rickson Purple belt over in Vancouver.

Do you know anyone that is getting the UFC? I am willing to pay for it if you know someone. Also do you have any of those submission hunting shirts made yet? I want to get one for a friend of mine for x-mas.

[Underdog]

So, after all your manhood stood up, bro...

Now, do the wise thing,

first, split from your g/f;

second, find a new one that train in MA,

third, enjoy.....

[PunchDrunk]

I hope you're not as wishy-washy in the ring as out of it.

[Martial Artist]

BigBird-

That was inspiring.I think men all over the forum took some more of the cover since they read that.

Good Job man,keep it up.

[rockinronnie]
