I have been through a LOT in the last year or two, and I look at the preparation for this tournament as my therapy, my church, my zen meditation if you will. I do not feel right if I miss rolling for a day or two. Setting a goal such as the worlds puts ones game into perspective and offers an opportunity not only to test oneself, but to really hone ones specific skills. Regardless the outcome Friday evening my training has been a huge success! I truly feel like I have a game plan and I have the confidence to impose it! I am excited to test it out on my opponents as I never have felt so well prepared.
And I owe a lot of that confidence to my training partners. Much thanks goes out in helping with preparation for this, but especially Shadow, Denise, Scrappy, Motorcycle Matt, Kamau, Big John, and the others who put in extra time and training. Also a big thanks to my coach who is much more then just my coach. Brian, I hope to represent the academy, and the Machado family strongly at the Worlds. May my luck with tournaments that contain the word "world" in them continue.
I am honored to be the first "official" representative fighting under the academy name "North West Jiu Jitsu Academy," as we just became an IBJJF recognized academy last month. This is a great first step towards creating a world class team right here in the Pac NW!
For those die hard fans you can tune in online for full coverage of the entire tournament at IBJJFTV.COM!
Hey if you see me at the Mundials stop and say "Hi!" I am the big bald dude, purple belt, with a silly grin the whole time I am sure!
Cheers, and best of luck to everyone fighting this week!
