Machado Seminar

We were lucky enough to be able to go to the JJ Machado Seminar in Evansville, Indiana. It was hosted by Jiu Jitsu Concepts, a BJJ school owned by BJJ Black Belt Bruce Shephard.

JJ Machado is my coaches instructor, so it was cool to learn from the source. Jean Jacques showed up and everyone flocked to him, he took the time to shake everyones hand and got straight to work. There were 60 people on the mat and only two white belts. That was the first time I was on the mat with that many BJJ students at one time.

JJ was teaching a series from the turtle positions, it was a lot of awesome information that we were luckily able to pick up fast.

Great seminar!!! I am glad I had a chance to go.

August 23 - Fight Night

Unfortunately one of our MMA guys, Bobby Todd, worked hard and hoped to get a fight at Spears Gym last week. No one weighed in to fight in his weight class so he didn't get to try out his skills in the cage.

However, at weigh-ins there was a guy looking to fight in the Heavyweight division, so we put a call in to Zach "Money" Moody known for his heavy hands and can do attitude. After finishing his burrito at Chipotle, Zach stepped up and went to weigh in. He ended up winning in the first round, the official call was win due to "broken nose." None-the-less, a wonderful win for "Money" Moody and Club MMA.

Other fighters we don't recommend the Burrito Diet before fights, don't try this at home, it's for trained professionals only!

It ended up being an amusing night, good job Zach!
