We both went through the unique pressure-cooker of being isolated in the world of the Ultimate Fighter house.  Kind of like being reunited with a classmate with who you struggled through a particularly crazy class;  or meeting a friend with whom you took a safari with, your truck broke down, and you got lost.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, it sounds dramatic, haha.  We STILL didn\u2019t get to spar at Syndicate on Tuesday, so definitely today, or else! Lol  I\u2019m glad he likes Syndicate!<br \/>\n<strong><\/p>\n<p>BTW &#8220;Dominate your Game&#8221; is a fantastic Sports Consulting firm. And my sponsor. Check them out!<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/dominateyourgame.com\/services\" title=\"http:\/\/dominateyourgame.com\/services\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/dominateyourgame.com\/services<\/a><\/p>\n<p>My training this week has been fantastic.  Lots of good technique on Monday shown by Mike Pyle.  Man, I\u2019m gonna use it, for sure!  Drilling with Heather and a few other guys, sparring rounds and rounds with Heather and Miesha, working technique with Cody, fantastic technique with coach John.  I\u2019m so happy.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, there was a car accident on Blue Diamond highway, and one former jiu-jitsu student of Syndicate\u2019s was hit.  I think she was killed, or badly injured?  When I assisted teaching the kids class yesterday with Rick and Chris, Coach Rick said a few words:<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\n\u201cLearn to adapt an attitude of gratitude.  You are not guaranteed tomorrow.  Appreciate your life, family, your ability to come here and do jiujitsu\u2026.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\nIt\u2019s true.  And I do that.  Especially, if I\u2019m having a hard day, or in pain, I start listing off all the positive things in my life. It should be impossible to run out.  See if you can keep going without running out.  It\u2019s fun to try.  And makes you appreciate what you have.  Life, mobility, love, family, home, friends, can do MMA, have a computer\u2026etc. <\/p>\n<p>So the kids class was fun. After the little kid\u2019s class, I think a boy in a blue gi was hanging off Chris\u2019 leg and wouldn\u2019t let him walk, so Chris tied him up and pretended to wrist lock him.  I ran to get my camera and took a series of pictures to tell the tale.
