Thanks Tanner for the great questions!
And for spelling my last name correctly, thank you!!! :-)

I just got back into training this month, and I'm loving it.
Hope you can make it to the Arnolds this year. Anyhow else from this forum competing there??

Train hard!

Thanks!

Wow, your all the way down there SheldomTap?? I'd love to come visit Australia, I have family in Sydney. :-) How far are you from Sydney?
Are there many clubs in your area that train in BJJ/MMA?

Take care!

Thank you very much Momita!

Last time I saw Zee was in Oct of last year up in San Francisco. She's doing well. Yes, I'm still in touch with her.

Where are you located??

Take care,
Olga

I live in the desert, you would love our summers............ 126' in the shade. Eggs really do fry on the sidewalk. Our valley is 120 miles from San Diego, and 54 miles from Yuma Arizona, and I live 15 miles from the Mexico border. Beautiful winters probably keep the people here whose brains aren't fried from the summer months. Someday I will see you fight, and I will congratulate you when you win!!!

I am about 1200 kilometers (900 miles approx I think) from Sydney so it isn't around the corner dammit!

MMA/BJJ isn't huge here yet, where I live there is a pretty decent BJJ school (where I train) and a variety of people thinking they can teach grappling without much of a clue.

In Sydney though, there is a good variety of BJJ schools and MMA schools, I know Elvis Sinosic is starting or has started a full time BJJ/MMA school there which would be great to train at.
