Back In The Game

I forgot how hard it is getting back into the swing of training. Still haven't gotten to going 3 times a week, but next week I will start. I always forget how good and energised I feel after each training. 

People at Legion are training hard. Some are off to Phuket Top Team (random note, blogger doesn't think Phuket is a proper word and wants to change it to ketchup! wtf) to train with Olavo Abreu and the Leone Brothers and more great world class MMA and BJJ guys/girls. In about 3 weeks time there is National Championships on in Newcastle, Australia. Should be a pretty good turn out. Hopefully there will be some great BLACK BELT matches to watch, there always are. 
There is a local Canberra comp coming up also. 

Great opportunity for people to see what is out there, see the competition from other clubs etc. 


Sad news for UFC and MMA fans today. Chael Sonnen retires after failing a random drug test that puts him out of the The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 Grand Final (Wanderlei Silva was also already out, also having failed a drug testing.) In Sonnen's case it seems that the medication he has to take for his health has something in it that means he fails the testing. He is making a choice of health and well being over his fighting career. A good choice I say.
