Had my class
First class we started off with a light work out
we did like 15 mins of shrimping and swimming
Then we did a lil breakfalling
After we worked an escape from a headlock

Second class
Light work out
We worked the escape from a headlock and when we took them down we would mount them and then they would have to get them off and then we would go to the guard and escape the guard and mount again. We worked this for a while.
Then after we grappled
I went up against a 3rd degree brown belt, i did really well, he couldnt tap me,We went for like 30 mins. I am extremely good at working position and getting out of and avoiding submissions, but applying them is my weak point
Then i went against
a guy who is the same rank as me, this guy is 6'4" 240 lbs and he is solid, he is a fucking monster. We rolled around i had him going good, i was making him get tired and work for anything he did, he tried for all types of subs, I slipped right out, we stopped after like 15 mins after I accidently kicked him in tthe head
Me and him grappled again we went for about ten minutes, it was a fairly even match, but when i had him in my half guard he managed to roll me over a lil and get his hand behind my neck and soon the other slipped by my throat and he choked me out
After that I grappled with my lead instructor, this man is just amazing, he just basically bitched me, but unlike the other times i have grappled with him I am seeing all the different little things he does, after me tapping many times, he complemented me and told me i am doing well and he likes that i stay perfectly calm when grappling

I am fucking shot tonight every thing in every class was demonstarated on me tonight, I was getting hit, swept, thrown, and subbed alot. And he wasnt going easy. I am all bruised and shit, but ill be back up and training tommorow.

sorry if you have already answered this but what is shrimping?

shrimping is a basic jui-jitsu move
u bridge ur back roll ove tor a shoulder and shoot out ur butt and push foward with ur hands.
Can be used to escape various positons or a safe way to gain some distance from ur opponent.
Do it for a while and youll get a god workout

Hey Chris...If you get time could you explain what all those exercises are you do? Like Shrimp ect........
My lower abs are shit and I need to tighten them up.

shrimping is a basic jui-jitsu move
u bridge ur back roll ove tor a shoulder and shoot out ur butt and push foward with ur hands.
Can be used to escape various positons or a safe way to gain some distance from ur opponent.
Do it for a while and youll get a god workout

inverted leg crunches- ur ass is on the floor, arms behind u holding ur body up, and legs off the ground, bring legs to chest and push out- make sure to keep legs closed

Thanks..I'll try them tonight

your a psyco

your workouts would kiill me

i havent been posting my workouts, but soon agin i will
but the past few days ive been taking it easy, i dont want any injuries, and i have alot of shit going on, so its rough to train, but after the tournament ill get back in training and when the summer comes im gonna be going all out


U cant believe the tournaments saturday
My god
i must win

You BETTER win...j/k....good luck Chris

My groin is fucked up
my god im so fucking pissed
right before my tournament- this shit happens and ive been taking it easy
I just hope im feeling ok on saturady
Im cursed

Tommorrow

Good luck

Sorry to hear about the loss....at least you got some experince out of it and learned from it. Keep training and keep up the good work. We're all behind you 100%

I fought in two matches
I controlled both matches, was never put in a bad spot, and came close to subbing both of them
but i lost both matches

Gay ass points
They only got points by passing my guard which when they did i got them back in in under 10 seconds
God damn points
Shit pisses me off
in one match i had the guy locked in a guillotine, and bam we ran out of time, all I needed was 5 seconds

only 4 minute matches, and the points were all bullshit

I need to find something else to compete in, cant wait to get into mma - when im ready for it ill do some damage

I'm gonna try to find a place to do some amateur boxing or kickboxing
and I may do NAGA in June

Curly thx for all the support

I have a pulled groin, so i have got to take it easy until im all healed up. After that im gonna train like an animal.

I am going to fight in a stick fighting tournament which will probably be hels around the end of summer or early fall.
I am gonna go down to Tennessee with my instructor to go train with the founder of my martial arts system Sigung Bruce Corrigan (http://www.pmaknoxville.com/corrigan.htm) and Helio Soneca (http://www.pmaknoxville.com/soneca.htm)

I am very excited about this

I am sill looking for a place to do some amatuer kickboxing or boxing, If anyone can find anything Plz let me know, I live in New York city- close to Jersey.

Do a thai match at BAMA. Thats a small venue.

Where is BAMA?
and how do i get in contact with them
if u can please hook me up with a site
thx

I just found out that soneca has trained , Jose “Pele” Landi and Vanderlei Silva.
I can't wait to train with him. I am so excited

beibg able not to train hard is killing me

My groin is starting to feel better
So im gonna train light, which is not considerd light for most ppl

I just watched my matches on tape and the referees were definetley sady, because in the first match i watched it over and over again and no points were scored, but yethe got 4 points, and n the second match the guy got 6 points for getting me in side control, yet side control counts for 0 points, such bulshit,
But i love watching them try so hard and struggle troug whole match, while im calm as all hell, I controlled both matches, Grapplers Edge was a crock of bullshit.

Today my instructor asked me if i wated to be his ookie.
I am going to be the guy he uses to demonsarte all the stuff in calss, the guy who he works his stuff on, im gonna stay and train with his instructors when they come in and get to go with him to train in Tennesse, hes gonna take me under his wing.

This is great for me.

sounds great Chris.....Man I am jealous

Been concentrating on my standup
I feel great
My punches and kicks are quick as hell and for a 140 pound guy i hit fucking hard

Im gonna call BAMA and try to get a spot in thier next show in a muy thai fight

Ive been losing my will to train
I dont know whats up with me anymore
Donno if I want to keep fighting

Im getting back into it again
I guess i just needed some time off - just been going through alot of shit

I sparred tonight my standup is better than ever

Not sure if I want to do the Thai fight yet though I will definetley call and get all the info
And wonder Thanx for the help

np bro.

Im joining the gym for a month today, so for the next month I'm gonna be lifting wieghts 5 days a week and doing 2 MA classes on Monday, 2 classes on tuesdays, 2 classes on Thursdays, and 1 class every other staurday. And i may start working out on my own at my MA school
Also soon I'm gonna start training my friend for the golden gloves

good to see that even though you were thinking about not fighting anymore.... you are. keep at it bro. rememeber what Vitor said... its harder training than fighting. remember that. good luck in all you do bro.

The chaos is going to come back soon
I am probably gonna start training hardcore again in a few weeks

I have begun again
The chaos is back

man we gotta hook up and just work out for like a week, i think there would be some improvement in eachothers games fro mthe experience, not to mention you might be able to teach me a bit about workin out.

Ben i would love to work out with you, but we live quite a distance
Maybe we can figure something out

true that

Im an asshole
I have what it takes to be great, but I can't find the motivation

Felt really good yesterday

I taught 2 kids classes by myself
then assisted with another kids class

Then I had my first class
We did a short workout
then we sparred
I went up against my head instructor
He is like 6' 2" and 200 lbs.
Imjust below 140 lbs.
This man is just rediculous - he's scary
I went against him for like 8 to 10 mins mins.
That was a long time for me
He just beat the hell out of me, but I never stopped coming at him
Then I went aginst a black belt instructor
I did really well - I got off some good shots and I defended myself alot better than I expected
Then I had my second class
We did a really good workout
We did some shrimping and swimming
We worked with the focus pads

I felt really good like I used to feel
But I got knocked up a little, so I need to rest up cause i messed up my knee and my thai is destroyed from all the kicks I took

thinking about doing naga on 11/15
or maybe the golden gloves

I have got to make up my mind and start training hard for one of them

I'm gonna do Naga
I chose to do this mainly because Pedro Brandeau, who is a Gracie Black Belt from Rio, who has been training with them for 20 years, is coming down in September to train.
So if i train hard and work with my instructor and then work some stuff with Pedro I will be in good conditon for Naga

My instructor told me last night that I am testing for a brown belt with a black stripe this friday
I havent tested for over a year and a half
Im going to get my ass beat

I just read your post about Pedro. Where are you and who is your instructor? Pedro Brandao is a very good BB from Gracie Barra, he used to live in Maimi and will be making his debut in MMA on September 5th at the Absolute Fighting Championships 5 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Good luck with your brown belt test.

Im train in staten Island N.Y. at the Academy of Martial Arts
My instructor is Sifu Roland Costanzo - he trained under Sigung Bruce Corrigan
Bruce is building a schoool in tennesee for Pedro to teach at
And Pedro is going to be one of the top MMA fighters soon
He is one of the top BJJ guys in the world and now he is going to be working on his standup with my instructors instructor, so he will be really kicking ass

and thx

Best of luck!

Good luck Chris, if ya ever come to the UK we should meet and train sometime man, that would be sweet.

man i am so not psychologically ready for this test
my head is so fucked up right now
its three in the morning abd I can't sleep
The girl I love tells me she doesn't feel the same way and so much other fucked up shit
I should be concentrating on my training
Its the only thing I love that will always be there
I'm an asshole for taking it easy for so long
But right now I still don't have that same fire I used to have
I don't know whats wrong with me

sorry to hear that bro be strong try to keep your mind on one thing right now and get that straightened out then move on to the next thing just don't let shit overwhelm you

tru that dragon
I am going to kick ass on this test
They will not break me

Chris, follow the mottow that i stole from Clean.

"Destroy the enemy! They are training! You must train to beat the enemy!"

good to hear bro now kick some ass!!!

The test was not as hard as I expected, but it was still a rough test
It was only like 2 and a half hours
I took the test with a broken toe and with only 3 hours sleep and I did really well, my instructor said I'm already half way through this rank

cool bro keep kickin ass

September 8th, I will start gwtting on a training schedule
starting two months before the tournament

Sigung,The head of my MA system came in with Pedro Brandou.
We had a good class on thursday.
Tonight I helped with the kemp black belt test.
Tommorow I am gonna work out with Pedro and Sigung.

I got my white belt in BJJ.
I rolled with pedro , sigung, and my instructors instructor.
It was awesome. I learned a new way to get to an armbar from sidemount, a sweep from the ground, and tuned up some of my basics.

Pedro is awesome and such a good teacher.

I was invited to train with them for a week down in Tennessee.
Once I get money and some time off I'll be down there.

one injury after the next i dont think i am going to do naga

I am angry and now I think I am going to start working out hard again and kicking everyones ass in class

I got 3 submissions from my guard
I am going to be working them constantly everyday till
i have them perfectly and then get some new subs

Today I rolled with a few guys fighting in Reality Fighting including the Heavywieght champ over at planet jui jitsu

I am going to start training to compete in kickboxing
I want to compete in grappling, but where I train is mostly stand up
I feel pretty good on the ground - I will still be working my ground game - I feel good as to where i can keep a ground fighter standing and I could get up quickly if taken dow and can defend myself on the ground
I will emphasize my stand up now
I am going to also be training alot with Jay Frankovich for the Reality Fighting PPV
knowing him is good because when I want to get into MMA I could get a spot in Reality fighting or Mass Destruction

GREAT NEWS CHRIS!

Kickboxing could make you a decent name if you get into it and even if not an amateur record is good to have. is there liek a golden gloves of kickboxing?

Christopher Chaos-
