(Day 5 ) Tuesday seb. 22
Finally the day arrived that I was her for!! Today I will start to train! Got up early and had some breakfast at floraville´s restaurant ( grown quite found of that place! ) packed all my new gear and off to TMT (shopped some brand new at TMT on arrival .. needed some new glowes and gear … and had to save some pounds in my luggage so I could bring protein powder and supplies from DK).
The mma class was teached by head couch Ray Elbe a BJJ brown belt/pro mma fighter from the big US of A!! He seams to be be a cool guy with a nice approach to MMA-training … we started out by doing some of the usual running, swimming, farmers walk, shrimping and so on.. the first thing we worked on was how to move/lay on top on a grounded opponent when he was in turtle pos. one thing in particular I liked.. he kind of draw a cross on the back of the opponent.. when you lie on him you need to be in the square closest to your body… nice way of telling how to have good base and a lot of weight on him..

- Did some "gaaa choke" and front... "RNC" from the sprawl pos. as well!!
the class ended with a lot of sparring think it was 8 rounds of 3 min with new opponent pr. Round.
There was a class later that day but I was hurting like h.. course to my sunburn and rolling I had a lot of spots with no/little skin on my shoulders and I needed to take care of them… so I just looked and took notes!
It started by some warm-up then a lot of the camps Thai coaches came and took all the guy one on one pad work (holy shit a pace!!!!) after 30 min and a lot of sweat Ray broth in a guy called..Brian Ebersole
By being a student of Matt Thornton he is a talented grappler and he was the teacher the rest of the class with Ray helping … best technique/punch line… when someone’s try too pass your guard (in mma) just stand up!!
The right way of course!! Looked a lot like the way shooters do it.. but some small differences..Ended the day with a good meal.. (although a bit too spicy) and the usual …budget, Skype, blog , water, sleep!
