So we started with some takedown defense. From there we went into transitions from defense to attacks, and gaining better position versus working from your back. Then he helped me on passing the guard, and getting to better position. This is the place i am most likely to be in during a fight. We showered up (separately of course) and got ready for the wrestle off. I had to get my GQ on because thats how i roll:) j/k. Then we got some quiznos and got on the road heading to Columbia, MO ( Home of ATT MO).

Ben met us at ATT to get some grapple boxing in. We went like 12 rounds. It was hard training for all of us. Din is better at striking and on the ground than both of us, Ben and i go at it in wrestling and I have been training just a couple days longer than Ben in striking so my stand-up has had a few more hours to develop, and Din came to MO to work with Wrestler doing MMA. But watching those guys go at in grappling, and me battling with Ben in submission wrestling was awesome. A Pro Boxer/Black Belt/MMA vet, Wrestling Olypian, and an All-American up-and-comer. All sharing the same hunger to fill their holes, turn weaknesses to strengths, and make their strengths sharper. You just don't get that type of training everyday!
