Battle of the Bay 2010

Hi, Everybody:

Congrats to Felix, Bryan, and ... me! I know you are anxious to know how we did. Felix placed 1st in his division. I placed 2nd in my division. Bryan placed third in the open division.

I'm posting the videos up now. They can be found at:

Me and Bryan did ok. Felix was the beast in the tourney, sinking in two armbars: one from mount, the other from the guard (this was his first grappling tourney). Watching him dominate his division has made me fearful of rolling with him! So extra congrats to Felix.

Thanks.
Ricky

Oh, man...

Overeem at his training camp.

Yes folks, its like going to the Sircus to see the DTT/TD!!!

Come by Sunday at 11am for the usual friendly, agreed-upon format sparring and what-not. Learn ye some Sambo moves or we can work on our poppin&lockin until the big event at 2pm:

hate-fracking good times of DTT vs Sirc according to some sort of UFC-derivative rules-set that these queefs have agreed upon and I'll referee in professional and courteous fashion.


location: Cheetah's Muay Thai gym, 5523 San Pablo Ave, Oakland, 94608
cheetahmuaythai.com


equipment: Prepare for what you'd like to spar in; such as headgear, gloves and padding if you'd like to stand-up sparring. Grapples-gear if you want to do combat grippling. Training weapons if that's your deal.

fee: a $10 mat fee is greatly appreciated, but not required.

As we build up a head-count we can figure out what everyone wants to do and prepare accordingly. My students will be there and you can get your asses kicked in all manner of ways.

reply or subscribe to this thread to be counted in, you can also email : calicambo@gmail.com if you need amy more info."

Just to get you hyped.

It's all making sense, now.

We've just been getting ready to fight BJ Penn
