Changed My Mind.
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.
