I train at Karate Life Studio in South City in karate and Columbia Karate Academy for kickboxing and a little groundwork. Hopefully I'll have the cash to go to Vaghi's once or twice a week pretty soon though.

I forgot about Family Martial Arts in Belleville. Jeremy Genin runs a MMA program there and I workout with them sometimes. He's fighting in KOTC in Chicago later this month. I've also got a group of friends that train at different places that was meeting at a community college to work with me and hopefully after I can start rolling again we will get more people to come.

Just won my first fight May 5th. My next one is supposed to be August 11th in St. Robert, MO at the Xtreme Cage Championships. The exact date is not confirmed yet, but it will be in August. Looking forward to it.

You should check out Jermaine's place in St. Charles...the website is in my sig block. I live in O'Fallon, IL and make the commute to St. Charles to train. We have about 10,000 square feet, and an awesome weight room for the fighters. Check it out. I heard that Genin is primarily trains with a gi. I did get the KOTC invite from him on myspace, but I can't make that trip.

I would go there except I'm broke right now and adding the extra gas to get there would be horrible for me especially since I'd have to drive right past Vaghi's to get to St. Charles. Maybe someday I'll set something up to work out at Jermaine's to give you guys someone new to beat on and working with a different group of people for me.

Bad news. I recently tore a ligament in my thumb and got impetigo in my knee within a few days of one another. The thumb was injured...but I stuck it out in training and sparred while it was sore for about a month...come to find out I have a small tear in one of my tendons/ligaments. I was put on sterouds for the infection in my knee and gained back most of the weight that I dropped to get to 145. I haven't been able to train and am now doing physical therapy for my thumb. I will be going to the gym this friday and try to get some type of workout in (kicks, knees, running).

Looks like I'm off the card...perhaps the next go round will be different. I am really upset since I put in all of this time and was actually in much better shape than my last fight. Till next time....
