For those that didn't make it to class today you missed out on a surprise visit from Renzo Gracie's purple belt and IFL Pro fighter on Renzo's Pitbull's team, Deividas Taurosevicius. Deividas is a great guy and fun to roll with. We wish him well with future fights and hope he visits us again soon.

Before open mat we practiced mount escapes and guard passing. One new mount escape and one new Relson guard pass was shown.

I was hesitant about joining the BJJ classes because I had no prior background in martial arts. I ended up joining approximately 2 months after it opened and I am able to learn and pick up the information just as much as someone else who has a martial arts background. Instructors are passionate about it and definately go out of their way to help you. Great place to learn and you don't have to spend $200.00 a month that most other places charge.

Frank Mir received $80k for his victory over Brock Lesner who received $250k for tapping out...who really won?

Deividas Taurosevicius showing up unannounced was a surprise!! Nice guy and fun to roll with. At 155lbs (about 30lbs lighter than I), he was untouchable at my experience level. However, I had a blast rolling with him, learning, and respecting jiu jitsu technique. Yet AGAIN, I had a blast training at CalvertMMA. I can only hope I do not miss out the next two weekends, as I will be out of town.

Actually to add fuel to the fire of who really won...Frank Mir received an additional $60K fight night bonus, which puts him at $140k. Now, Lesnar gets $250k for "tapping out," but if he would have won that fight: $250k + $200K bonus = $450k. Either way, win or lose...I am in the WRONG business yet again.

Out of class for the next two weeks? We'll make sure to practice submissions to slow you down when your return!

RichardNW · 02-05-2008, 09:44 AM

Correction...I will miss the next two saturdays. Which is an internity for me anyway. I checked for open mats in the areas I will be and can not find anything.

That is great news.

I've been looking around here for a class.

Used to kickbox in San Diego and started some grappling right before I left.

Definitely going to get into this...

I drive 40 minutes to get to the school. Believe me, it is worth the drive. It is at least worth a visit. Not only do you have two outstanding instructors from Fight Works; the owenr/organizer from Calvert MMA is very patient and has a ton of experience himself. He is an outstanding instructor. there is so much to learn. Everytime I go, I realize this is not a sport you get in just a few weeks. It will take time to develop your skills.

I find it interesting that all the new posters in this thread all sound and talk alike.

Why not just stay on the same one and say "Bump"?
