Say it ain't so!

Gonna miss one of my four favorite times of the year to fish--fall!! Was training for the next fight and tore my pec muscle off. Had surgery yesterday and gonna be in a sling for 6 weeks then 3 more months before I will be 100%. No Texoma topwater, no redfish run trip....sucks

What you train in??

BJJ--Marcelo Garcia has an affiliate gym not to far from Mesquite and I think Carlos Machado does too. I train at Genesis and Aledo Fight Sport

Sorry to hear @ the injury. Is dead sticking with finese jigs an option, a little early????

still a little early. Thanks for the suggestion though. Just doesn't look right having a morning this nice and my boat not hooked up to my truck. I hope to be better in time for late fall fishing and the NAGA Worlds.

Let me know if you need anything brotha

X2

Will be by to take a look at the Tarino soon

I was traing with Jeff henning under Allen moler. From Alliance, I see the Marcelo gym everyday, it's 2 min away from my job.

I'm a blue belt and stop after tearing my muscle in my arm and poppin my knee out twice.

Still miss it.

Holy [censored] Kaos whats up man I used to train with you. My brother and I were Jeff's guitar players. I had a blast at that place and learned a lot.

You and "Kenny jack"

Yes sir. Me and Kenny are about to head out and see if way can't slay some fish.lol

We're at?? I've been going to Hubbard Since its 10min from my house. How have you an your brother been.

I trained at Jeff's place last time I was in Mesquite. Great group of guys there. I still keep in contact with Richard Newman the FTO guy. Haven't been able to roll in over a week and it is killing me

How long ago?

Josh hit me up, I'm always fishing in weekends sat or sun

about 3 or 4 months ago--Richard is up at Machado's now.

Once I get back to where I can fish again you need to go out to T-wok or CC with us. I can fish and BS about BJJ all day

Lol me too, any time.

That sucks man, sorry to hear that. I just finished round four of that nonsense this spring. Shoulder, knee, knee again, elbow. I spent more of the last three years in rehab than on the water or on the mat. Hope recovery goes smooth for you. Tony and Albert are great guys, and a few of my students from Stephenville go to Aledo to do gi work on occasion. Nice to know there are some other jiu-jitsu dudes who fish out there. Or is it fisherman who also roll? Hope I will see you at NAGA worlds in December, good luck with the rehab.

Yeah Sam and Nick come out and roll with us quite a bit. Sam is a good buddy of mine. I'm a fisherman who fell in love with training BJJ so fishing took a very close back seat. I would really like to compete at the NAGA. The last NAGA was my last tournament. I won Nogi and made a dumb mistake in the gold medal match of gi to basically choke myself out! Doah!

Im trying to get back into Juijitsu but bills won't go away. Other thing is if I can just find an open mat day that isn't during work hrs or early in the mornings.

I live in mesquite and Its hard to fit family time and fishing in a day. Mon-fri is 12hr work days and some classes start before I et out of work.

Any other schools anybody might know of??

Hey did you say you knew Richard Newman? He is training up at Machados and I think they have quite a few classes throughout the day. A lot of MMA places seem to be popping up but I don't know how good their BJJ training is. For a while I was training at lunch at Genesis--the monsters from Team Takedown were coming over there and rolling nogi--good times.

Don't think I know him. Were's his school at?? Area wise.

No he trained at Jeff's--he owns the company that make the Fear Tapping Out shirts.

I might I'm just bad on names but will remeber when I see people.
