haha as for the brasil with an s thing..its actually funny, when i see it with a z now, it actually bothers me, haha all my friends always told me never wear a brazil with a z shirt in brasil, cuz your a walking target to get robbed, haha
Thanks a lot man. 1200 a month with so much fun is pretty good.

Curious that now that Wand confirmed on his site he's fighting Chuck in UFC, did you get to hear anyone at Chute Boxe talk about that before you left?

edit: Also, I was just curious how much actual one on one pad training and one on one bjj training you got while at chute boxe.

edit again ha - also, just curious as to whether you've gotten your blue beltor purple belt or whatever since youve been there?

I'm going one of these days. I've been to over a dozen countries in my lifetime. I have a hard time learning other languages, probably because I tend to be quiet by nature. One thing I am good at is relaying what I want and understanding what other people want without speaking. Kind of like what a deaf person does. Well, your "journal" has really inspired me to go and check Brasil out ;)

as far as i remember noone ever mentioned anything about wandy and chuck while i was there, other then a few of my friends from the gym asking who i think would win..nothing is one on one with a trainer, unless you have a fight coming up, we all work in groups of 2, and alternate throughout the session, although if you need any help mestre rafael is always walking around gladly ready to give it

i didnt get a belt promotion while i was there cuz i never really trained gi jiu jitsu, for a long time now..and i was mostly concentrating on mma training..i think im well due though if i start training with a gi, cuz im def at the blue belt level, but technically i guess i would be a white belt
