Second part from San Jose

Second part from San Jose

Thanks giving went by without a lot of training because I hurt my knee, so it was time to recover and doing some sightseeing.  Not to forget, typical American binge eating over the holidays!

I went up to San Francisco to do my sightseeing. The only thing to say it was on Blackfriday. It was extremely crowded, everyone went insane for all the discounts in the malls and shops. It was a funny experience, but I don’t like to elbow around, NO MMA at all. :D 

After this break, it was back to business training up to four times a day, was exhausting and very enjoyable. The knee was okay for 2 days after that I had to rest again, it may was too much training for my body to handle. Getting old. Haha. For the last days more relaxing, enjoying my meals and just enjoying doing nothing, real vacations.

With a heavy heart back to my normal daily life schedule back in Switzerland, already looking forward to my next travels!

Caio Terra Academy USA

Visiting Caio Terra Academy
Going to the US to Caio Terra Academy for two weeks to get in some beating. After some trouble at my stop-over in Amsterdam, just because  the border control was in an huge chaos I arrived well at the Academy. I still was a little mess after those 14 hours sitting in the plane. Totally I spend more than 24 hours awake. During my flight I just met a Trump friend, can't say anything maybe the NSA is reading it. 😂

First day of training was the Openmat on Sunday, but before there was a little breakfast to get me going. The rest of the day I spend at a mall and eat a huge Cheesecake, there will be some gaining this 2 weeks with all those sweets! But anyway it will be a lot of fun to loose this weight again afterwards, won’t be the easiest part over Christmas. 😣 But as long you want something really hard it’s easy to achieve. Will power for the win. 😎

Getting up for the morning training at 6:30 was an easy task for me, all I want this two week is getting in as much training I can. I have to say the training is the places, that teaches the most detailed techniques. If you want to learn amazing Jiu-jitsu an relaxed atmosphere you should definitely check them out!

 The only thing in my way is Thanksgiving because they close the gym for this time. I hope they will do some open mats, anyway they have too to burn those calories!

London

 My first Blogg...just another blogging life starts in London.

England London

 My little escape over the weekend to London. Where I will meet Johnathan, a good friend I met in Rio a half year ago.

London is greeting me with his best weather, nicely grey and cold. What do you want more? But it gets even better, I checked my Oyster card and I still got 23 Pounds on it. Uhh, yeah, so it was time to ride the Tube to my friends flat, I still don´t get the directions but luckily I pulled it out.

For me the plan we got for the weekend is perfect! We’re going to train BJJ at his place, followed by a private and after that UFC 205 for the night! All I need to be happy! 

The training facility got the real feel into it, no comfort nothing, it was all about Jiu! It has a lovely foodtruck with Burgers in front of the gym, good thing after training! Vinny, the blackbelt, just played with me, great rolls!

For the UFC 205 it was a little bit hard in the end. I still got the important fights in. 

English breakfast at his finest.

Afterwards it was a lot of sleep to recover, a little bit gambling and being lazy for a good Sunday and of course an amazing english breakfast, you need those fats!

On Monday another training season at Fightzone, huge place and awesome training! The techniques, he showed, was a nice pass sequence to back or armbar! You should definitely visit Fightzone Checkmate if you are in London! Very good place, highly recommended! 

Afterwards it was time to say good bye to London. I will be back next time with a competitions in mind in March 2017. 

See you, thanks for reading, happy about advices!
