Ah I just saw the Parisyan vs Burkman fight. That was an amazing harai goshi in the first round. Oh yeah, my friend ended up cleaning up the BJJ comp. He won the last match with a semi-flying armbar. It was actually nuts haha. Go Sydney!

Yeah I did. That that was an awesome right hook, right on the button. I guess it's 2-0 to Rampage now. I really want to watch the Parisyan vs Burkman fight, from what i've read it was really good. Oh you know of Kristof? That man is a machine... I swear he doesn't know the definition of pain...

Hey, I didn't end up going I screwed up my wrist in randori on Saturday X|. My friend still went though, hope he's doing okay... he's actually a beast so i'm not too worried :P. I train Judo at the Usyd Judo Club. Great place, if you can't find Sambo then Judo is always a great alternative :P

Aha, yeah I meant Sunday. Yeah my friend and I are entering the continuous sparring comp - whatever that is, and the BJJ comp. Should be fun. About the entry fee... not sure, my friend paid for us. All I know is that now a late fee is applied if you still want to sign up.

Is anyone going to the ISKA BJJ comp this Saturday over in Lidcombe? I'm thinking of going with another guy from my Judo club.

Yeah I saw that fight. He almost got a few arm bars from the guard, but that ground and pound really started getting to him. That's cool that you're training under him, you'd learn some damn awesome BJJ skills from him.

Cro Cop... what the hell!?

Yeah true, all of these upsets lately have seriously destroyed any ability I thought I had in predicting MMA match ups :P. Fedor vs Cro Cop 2 would be amazing. I would really be torn in that match though, I wouldn't know who to cheer for! Also, where are you taking SAMBO?

Yeah that reversal was great, although everyone is getting all annoyed about Fedor grabbing the rope, it's not as if he wouldn't cain Lindland on the ground anyway. And what about that armbar? Geez, I swear Fedor almost snapped Lindland's arm in two :P I think that Cro Cop vs Gongaza will be...

Okay ouch, just watched the match.

I guess we kind of have that with Cro Cop in the UFC at the moment. Gongaza is going to get hammered. Also, what do you think about Lindland going up against Fedor?

Yeah I was a bit shocked when I heard that too. I hope they keep the two organisations mostly seperate except for certain events so we can have some UFC/PRIDE card goodness.

Yeah I agree that alot of the traditional martial arts out there do lack an adequate level of conditioning or aliveness. That's one of the reasons why Kyokushin Karate is great, full contact sparring for the win! (Although the no punches to the head rule seems a bit iffy, but I guess thats what...

You shouldn't discredit Karate altogether. Kyokushin Karate can be very practical. As for me, I'm currently training at the Usyd Judo Club, but i've also done some Aikido, Capoeira and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the past.

Hmm, i'll have to go with a gin and tonic.
