(Day 15 ) Friday 2 okt.

I love the lifestyle I’m having down here… all that’s matters is.. training..training (+ eating, sleeping) no stress or other things that disturbs the peace… even all the sickness and badluck can´t get to me today…I´m beginning to get used to the climate ( kind of!!!) and way of living here! My cardio is a bit better (a little), at the private lesson with Nan I even kept my lungs down were they belong!! Nice…
I started the day with my morning swim. Got some breakfast… did some of the “paperwork” I’ve been sloppy with lately...

(one of the beginner thai classes at TMT)

And off to the Thai lesson to do some more work on my lack of stand-up skills…
We did some rope swings, and to my big surprise I was able to do so for pretty long time… then the usual hand wrapping and shadowboxing wile I was hitting the air, Nan gave me some techniques to work on… and corrected me when needed… then we did lot of padwork! Think it was 10 rounds of 3 min. with short breaks between… my kicks are really getting better (still nothing of a thaikick but a lot better than before) and sparring! The thai-for-mma-stile I youse is getting better and better and harder and harder for Nan to spar agents… it´s only when he kicks I get in trouble! After the lesson with Nan I rushed home to wash my gear and get something to eat … and shower of course !

- Then back to TMT to see how the late mma class was doing! As I got there they were sparring stand-up in rounds… think Ray is in love with the boxing timer.. :) but must agree it is so f…ing yousfull)

there was not so many participating today so when the rounds ended… they got up into the cage and did one on one battle (full mma without elbows and knees to the head) 2 guys at a time… 3 rounds of 4min with all of us shouting advise and Ray giving them in a bit more calm manner! Think this was really fun and all the stress and shouting was giving a small taste of how a real competition can effect a fighter… in the breaks Ray gave advise and the fighters was taken care of by there corner men ( others of the students… giving it a bit more reality fell like!!)… ( I will incorporate this concept when I get home… ).


When I came back home to Floraville I had dinner together with Mika ( a finish guy I’ve been talking a lot with) who told me of a nice place to get a massage… will go there tomorrow after my private with Nan and the play/sparring session me and some of the mma-guys planned when nowone is yousing the mats!!
