Back to training (on Saturdays only)

After attending a brief informational meeting about the JET program in downtown Chicago (which was a waste of time since I can go get that information from various ESL sites) I visited my old training place where I used to train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, and Wrestling (basically a place where I train MMA). I brought my workout clothing knowing that Saturdays is open mat (aka everyone is invited to train). I was surprised that they still recognize me. My instructor, Jay, greeted me and seemed happy that I came back. I did some light grappling for an hour and half and felt real happy. Hopefully, I’ll be back for more Saturdays since he said that I’m welcome to train with the rest of the guys, and also I’m hoping to find a new job downtown so I can train there often.

Houby Day Parade 2009

I’ve took some real nice pictures with a rather outdated digital camera. I think I took more than 80 of them and it took me the whole night to optimize them to share for web use. Here are some pics from the parade itself.
