    Finally did it ... American Top Team !!!

    After months of procrastinating, I finally went and joined ATT. I'm so fvcking excited. I start classes on Monday. I'm gonna be taking BJJ and Muay Thai.

    I went to the school and spoke with Mike Brown. He's a really cool guy. He did all my paperwork and gave me a tour of the place. Got to meet Ricardo Liborio and Thiago "Pitbull" Alves as well. Jorge Santiago was there training too.

    I'm like a kid in a candy store right now. Can't wait to start.

    I bought my gi from ATT. It's an ouano. Only thing I didn't get was my Muay Thai stuff ... I'll get those on monday.

    ATT baby !

    I think I'm gonna need bigger pants. The gi shrinks considerably, right ?

    I have an A4 gi. The jacket is pretty big on me but the pants don't fit as big as the jacket. I might have to see if I can trade in the pants for an A5.

    I'm gonna be training at the Coconut Creek headquarters.

    I'm heavy right now ... but who knows what I'll be down the road.

    And if in the next few years I happen to make it ... the AR bro's will be taken care of.

    First day of BJJ went well ... i really like it

    My cardio is shit ... first off

    Class was pretty cool ... we started off with warm-ups (few laps, push-ups, jumping jacks, sit-ups) ... then we did take-downs (which was unusual according to some of the guys) ... at the end of class was time to roll ... they wouldn't let me roll since I'm new and don't know anything ... but I did get to go into the ring with one of the black belts and he taught me the kimura and the gi choke .... both from the guard

    Tomorrow is Muay Thai .... much more intense from what I hear

    So far so good ... I'll keep you guys posted.

    it's not that it's complicated but... if you are in a situation when flowing and you are thinking about stuff liket hat instead of the basics "hand positioning ...etc etc" you will get in trouble. I'm still jealous :P

    Not me man, I lay and pray. I am all over them like a blanket. Take down to head buried in the chest for 15 minutes.

    Congrats, man. Good stuff. I did the same thing, procrastinated for a long time, then finally said to myself, "I live near one of the best facilities in the nation, why am I not taking advantage of this?" Said, **** it, and joined. Best decision I have made in years.

    Keep up the intensity and consistency!

    yeah i hear you ... i really dont think it's that important when it comes to mma ... technique is by far superior to strength in my opinion
