You mean like teaching English? I've heard it's near impossible in America, you have to be there and then apparently there is also some visa confusions.

Damn..that place looks more like an upscale spa then a fighting gym. Very nice looking location.

And with teh exchange rate those prices are insane. Makes me cry considering that I'm paying twice as much and my gym's facilities. Everyone is very cool at my gym but comparing facilities is like comparing a Motel 6 to the Four Seasons.

Wow man. How was sparring (I'll assume light) with Ninja? That seems like a really awesome environment to be in for learning about MMA. Hope you're having fun down there man. Keep us posted on what's new man.

i cant help u b/c fortunately, i dont need a job, but i think its pretty easy to get a job as an english teacher from what i have heard

and if u speak portuguese im sure your chances of working at a hotel or something where gringos go is good too,

another update, so the other night was the opening of a new chuteboxe run by nilson castro and cristinao marcello offered to give me a ride, hes a real cool guy, we talked about rio, bush, a whole bunch of crap and i didnt feel like he was treating me like a student, again like ive said everyone here is really nice

so anyway rafeal coredeiro and luiz azaredo drove me home which was cool, cuz i got to talk to them about music, and maybe opening a chuteboxe in new york one day and he said its def a possibility and maybe ninja will be the one to run it

im pretty beat up right now, my hip isnt feeling so great

and my knee either, but hopefully its no major problem, anyway, thanks to everyone who reads

take care
