Training was hard! I love it.  I struggled more than average because of nagging pains, but that&#8217;s often the case.  I&#8217;m really pleased that I made it through full force! \ud83d\ude00  I&#8217;m in such good shape right now.

XD Sparring with the team, especially the most recent female additions to the team, has been great and fullfilling.  <\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday we did live hard padwork with shark tank. So for three 5-minute rounds, John called out directions and had me alternate between hitting his mitts, grappling with Hannah against the case with get-ups and take-downs, and being charged by Marcus with the huge blue shield.  Thanks, guys, for helping out.

I seem to have a hard time learning new stuff, but he&#8217;s so patient and explains things over and over for me, and then when I get it, it&#8217;s like&#8230;.WHOHOOOOOO!  I pulled off THREE of his moves in sparring on Friday. when I drilled the moves,I couldn&#8217;t get them well, even when my partner was NOT resisting. I  drilled and drilled and drilled and grrrrrr could not&#8230;do&#8230;it. grr.  Then in sparring, BAM! Did it!  SO excited. Thanks, Vinny!  haha after I did it, I scampered over to him like a little kid while he was teaching, still in my MMA sparring gear, and was like &#8220;Vinny Vinny I did itttttt!&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/roxy-thrilled-with-vinny.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/roxy-thrilled-with-vinny.jpg\" alt=\"roxy thrilled with vinny\" width=\"318\" height=\"424\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5387\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI look tiny next to him!<\/p>\n<p>Friday we went full force&#8230;&#8230;.on many levels. Sparring with the fightergirls, and then class, and then Serena, Hannah and I , along with the help of teammate Shawn Dodaro as cameraman and the &#8220;Voice,&#8221; made a Mortal Kombat parody!  Princess Leia vs Goku, with a surprising ending.

Nick came for the first time, one of my students from the older kid&#8217;s class.  He did really well mixing up striking and takedowns. He and Michael split before I could get a group picture, but I snagged Daunte and Ethan before they left.

It&#8217;s really tasty and you put it on your food, like where you might put seasoning on like pepper.  Eggs, salad, anything. Or in drinks like shakes. It&#8217;s good for the digestive track and detoxing the body.<\/p>\n<p> Check it out if you have a chance \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday I went to Mesquite with my team to cheer on Marc, Caleb and Jordan!  They all did great!  Jordan arm-barred his guy&#8230;.I thought the arm was going to break. good call, ref, for stopping it. x_x  Marc&#8217;s was a battle I wanna watch again. omg the jiu-jitsu!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/sparklie-eyes-fangirl.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/sparklie-eyes-fangirl-150x150.png\" alt=\"sparklie eyes fangirl\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-5395\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n Marc went for an omoplata and hooked the leg so the guy couldn&#8217;t roll, but he tried to roll anyway and the momentum put them in  a weird, upsidedown sideways position. Scramble. Marc threw on the armbar, guy pulled up, marc switched to triangle, guy stacked, Marc switched to armbar&#8230;.I was jumping up and down screaming! &#8220;Armbar! triangle! armbar! triangle! oh oh ooooh! get it getitgetit!&#8221; CRAZY. I wanna see that again.  He won, I forget how now. Caleb did really well&#8230;I was impressed with his movement but lost a split decision. -_-;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/at-mesquite-syndicate-after-pic-tuffnuff.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/at-mesquite-syndicate-after-pic-tuffnuff.jpg\" alt=\"at mesquite syndicate after pic tuffnuff\" width=\"489\" height=\"391\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5391\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/serena-and-roxy-selling-t-shirts.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/serena-and-roxy-selling-t-shirts.jpg\" alt=\"serena and roxy selling t shirts\" width=\"522\" height=\"392\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5392\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSerena and I sold my walk-out T shirt, my book (none sold! \ud83d\ude41 ) and MVRK shirts. www.mvrkclothing.com<br \/>\nI really love the red one.<br \/>\nYou can get them online.
