Still in on this one...

UrbanFlatline · 09-15-2009, 07:18 PM

Silva was there holding a Muay thai seminar.

Im seriously thinking about trying to fight my way into K1. I can make the 85KG class if I diet well all the time.

Im really just tired of Jitz. I know there are alot of Jitz lovers out there but to be honest I would much rather kick someone in the face. Has anyone had any experience with friends or training partners getting into K1? The only Guy I know that has been there is Dennis Hallman. Ill be training with him in a few weeks... But well, Im impatient lol.

By the way Im now training with the 5th ranked women in the world for boxing. She is showing me some ish! Also Matt Horwich is a great sparring partner. He is our new Jitz coach and trains with our fight team. You can see some of his fights on mma-core.com

Anyways sorry im not updating more. I just work and train... alot

UrbanFlatline · 09-17-2009, 08:21 PM

Anybody in the area please feel free to contact me here or stop by my gym Alive mma to spar with me... I teach class Saturday morning at 1030...

Im always looking for fresh bodys. Tomorrow... Friday... Is Team practice, with my schedule Im finally able to make it to these practices and get some really good training in

UrbanFlatline · 09-21-2009, 06:03 PM

I just got hooked up with a new Management guy, He is a part time manager who has strong ties in MMA and Pro Boxing.

He offered me a Pro boxing match. I do train Boxing at my own gym and At Grand Ave boxing in Portland Or. I feel like I could easily hold my own and have a great chin but am a lil weary about it.

What do you guys think of MMA/Karate/Kick boxer making a few appearances in Pro boxing???

PS Im still on the Hunt for K1 Glory!

UrbanFlatline · 09-22-2009, 04:20 PM

Started P90x Last night... guess we will see how this helps

Clark_Kent · 09-22-2009, 06:32 PM

I know when we do boxing I always have to remind myself I can't kick. That would suck, but be funny, if you tagged a dude with a leg kick in a boxing match. I guess if you just focused on boxing for a while before the fight that wouldn't really be a problem. You also wouldn't have to worry about takedowns which would really let you commit to your striking.

Ya, so i just got back. I sparred with a golden gloves fighter and Rudy, Rudy is a pro boxer with a 6--0 record. He hits really hard!!! lol...

I managed to do decent but gassed in fourth or fifth round. The am guy i did really well against and pretty much could have knocked him out. But Rudy was a diferent story. He was super quick and really worked the body. I found myself trying to stay out at Kicking distance and even lifted my leg a few times lol. All in all I need to work on my jab and get my right hand up more towards my face. I did well and i think soon Ill be able to go after a lower level Pro match...

UrbanFlatline · 09-26-2009, 03:47 PM

Just taught an awesome class. I feel i learn something every time I teach.

Anyways, Just got offered to cross train once a week for free at Grand ave Boxing and also at a new Muay Thai Gym that is opening in portland. Im stoked, I love getting new training partners and new views on technique and cardio. ANyways everyone have a great weekend

UrbanFlatline · 10-01-2009, 06:34 AM

From what I hear, it's pretty dry out here in PDX for some reason. A lot of people passing or not doing fights. You seeing the same thing?

Also, you and I need to grab a beer. Or maybe a protein shake.

UrbanFlatline · 10-01-2009, 04:25 PM

Ya its dry for sure! Im looking in other states and international. PDX has been dry for a while now. Even pretty big names are fighting small shows.

Hit me up sometime. I dont go out much but i do sometimes.

UrbanFlatline · 10-04-2009, 07:00 PM

Boxing today... lots of work on turning opponents and jabs.

Tomorrow is more boxing and some more boxing!

Tuesday is kettle bell workout. its gonna be tough.

O i just learned an awesome new move to add to my arsenal and then pulled it off in free roll... Its a skull ride to arm bar. SO SICK!

UrbanFlatline · 10-06-2009, 04:00 PM

Boxing Cardio last night. O my god, john heath is a killer. Im so sore!~

UrbanFlatline · 10-07-2009, 08:30 PM

Just cross trained at Grand avenue with some local pro boxers. working on my speed and footwork. its crazy how many more punches these guys throw then mma fighters. makes mma guys hands look silly

UrbanFlatline · 10-10-2009, 05:01 PM

Tired, sore, sick... blah.

On the bright side my training is going great. about to start some supplements and ill be posting updated pics every week while doing it. we will see how it goes!

UrbanFlatline · 10-14-2009, 06:59 PM

UrbanFlatline · 10-17-2009, 08:47 PM

UrbanFlatline · 10-20-2009, 08:24 PM

UrbanFlatline · 10-28-2009, 08:54 PM

O my god life is hectic. I start my supplements and have been training steady. Im 6 pounds down and still going. But i feel like i havent been accelerating to where i wanna be. So Im gonna amp up my diet and start Rowing everyday. we will see where that gets me

Clark_Kent · 10-29-2009, 04:27 AM

Where you trying to get to, 185?

I have managed to stay around 188 for the last couple weeks, with weigh ins next Friday.

I won't be cutting anything hardly, which will be much better than last time.

UrbanFlatline · 11-09-2009, 04:37 PM
