Hey guys, hope you all are doing well. I'm here in San Diego right now doing some training and getting the calendar set for the year. I'm training some Jiu-Jitsu and MMA with Saulo & Xande and the crew at the University of Jiu-Jitsu and the Arena, having a great time. Xande should be fighting within the next couple of months, although nothing is official yet, his training is picking up and he has a lot of great people to work with out here. I'm very excited for another year of BJJ tournaments and I plan on making my MMA debut sometime during the second half of the year. I'm still adjusting to the speed and aggressiveness of MMA, but I'm really liking it and I think I can take some things from MMA to help my jiu-jitsu game. Xande and I have trained with each other for years now, but we are just now starting to throw punches at each other. It is still a little weird, but we are having fun. Here is a pic of our training last Friday.

Talk to you soon.

What are some things you think you'll have to adjust/modify/drop from BJJ when you transition to MMA. I've heard that more top game oriented people in jiu-jitsu have an easier time transitioning to MMA. What do you think?
I think that I will have to become a little more physical and aggressive, instead of always trying to make everything so smooth and technical. These things could also help my jiu-jitsu game too, because it could allow me to impose my techniques a little more.
