My fav combat sports analyst "Jack Slack" wrote this article a while back about the guy who was the master of the double wrist lock *kimura*

Kazushi Sakuraba 's list of accomplishments is simply astounding, but because of the unnecessary and brutal losses he accumulated as he dragged his feet about retirement, it is easy to forget just how great a fighter he was...

Carlos Condit's Coach on training at Jacksons MMA (the highest winning % MMA camp on earth in albequerque NMexico)

"I was always fast and I had power on both sides, but what Coach Wink instilled in me was defense, a sense of awareness, a strategic approach to this sport. He used to say, ‘Don’t go out there and roll the dice.’ He would tell me, don’t get into positions where it’s 50/50 where you may get the knockout, but you may get knocked out. Break these guys down. Use your feints, use your angles, and don’t be there to get hit afterward.”'

exactly :)

NOTE: I apologize for the issue with the power on Tuesday the 11th ( I realize we had a new guy come in too)

Everything should be a-ok for thursday's class, and we will continue with Sosurish*tsuryu class (since we missed it) and pick up striking next tuesday :)

Hope to see you all there thursday
