It's been a while since I last posted. I was going through an MBA program, raising kids, training for Jiu Jitsu tournaments, working on projects at work, running half marathons, and a lot more. Now, my goals have changed a lot. This year, I plan on going back to powerlifting and compete at my first meet in over 10 years at the USPA Drug Tested Fit Nation Gym Powerlifting Championship in August in order to qualify for the USPA Drug Tested Worlds in November. Also, I plan on competing at the Jiu Jitsu World League Champions Cup, since this will be my last time competing at Masters 1.

I was training Jiu Jitsu at Rodrigo Freitas Jiu Jitsu in Hawthorne during lunch time. We were working on the spider guard to triangle transition and to the omoplata. I got to drill a lot and do 3 - Five minute rounds of specific training from the spider guard position. I got to work with white and blue belts. I was able to work on different sweeps and passes that are not part of my A game. I felt that I moved well and I'm still getting back my timing, since I was out of the country for almost 2 weeks last month and I was sick a for bit as well.
