Where do you train? I used to train at 88BJJ-now Crazy BJJ (I HATE that name) but I had more fun when it wasnt so serious. I competed at a NAGA tourny in NJ and after that I kinda lost the passion for it.

I think about grappling all the time though, just to busy to re-commit myself to training again now with school and work. One more semester at school and then I'll do some striking likely MT. Good luck at your fight! What weight class do you fight at?

I train at baltimore bjj and with Team Rawdawg for my wrestling and boxing.

I used to train at memphis bjj ( www.memphisbjj.com ) which is a BTT affiliated school. Getting to train with Bustamante ftw. I miss my old school, still have the logo tattooed on my arm.

You know when your parents tell you no ruff housing in the house. lol Well my buddy and I got into it and I caught the corner of the coffee table. I layed on the floor for a min and with in the 20 steps it took me to get up off the floor to the bathroom I had blood running down my shirt. Looked in the mirror, folded the skin back over, put a band aid on it and grabbed some ice and went on my way. Didnt bother to get the 10+ stiches I needed to close it. My eye was swollen closed the next day and turned black by the next. It only took me 25 years to understand what the said by no ruff housing in the house.

409 E Preston Street in downtown Baltimore.

The coach is really good, trying to build a team up. Not a lot of BJJ there(no classes), but lots of the guys that train there train it somewhere else.

Not many formal classes, you get lots of small group stuff. I dig the atmosphere. Very rocky like, old gym, etc..

I just wish they would clean the mats more often

Sucks. I've never had stitches. Cuts scare me less than sewing them up, lol.
