Just an update on a few things that are going on. Firstly (and I'm knocking on wood as I type), my knee is good and I'm back training on the squad. The departure of Mike and Dave has left our side of the house empty, so the latest arrival Anthony, has been given a bed. Also, kickboxer Danielle Ackerman from Holland is here to brush up on her tan and BJJ and Anthony is training hard and promises not to be a pussy. Already he has proved he's serious by landing at 10 and training at 12, straight off an 18 hour flight ...............good job.

ok first of all let me thank dennis for pushing me hard this week you will prep me for this torniment but you will not break me. secondly id like to thank all at connection rio including training partners and house mates as i havent been my usual self due to tiredness hard training sessions and my little brother had a muay thai fight today witch makes me nervous more than my fights especially when i cant be there. so as you may tell its been a hard week training and its not over yet the torniment is next week and i have 3 hard days left befor we tighten up on techniques and get me sharp.
