Foundry in Rangeley

We gathered up the local crew and decided to head up to the Rangeley for a high paced, action packed jiu-jitsu class. That's exactly what we got. Shawn is a great teacher and knows how to push people. I think we needed that kind of motivation. The Freestyle Grappling Open is coming up soon and we need to be ready for that. I've been tossing the idea around of competing. I'm just not one of those people who gets super motivated to compete. I don't have that drive or need to match myself up to others and see who is the best. I was telling Jon, what motivates me to compete is my team mates. I like the idea of getting them ready for their matches and being there when they step on the mat. I like congratulating them when they step off the mat victorious. That's why I compete. With that said, I need to find the right mind set to get pumped up for this. I think we have about 7 weeks until it's go time. It's about time to get in the gym and check my weight. I always say after I cut weight that I want to stay in shape, but the weight always creeps back up. I think our last training session at Shawn's will really motivate Justin to get our asses in shape. Let's do this!
