So what have I been up to....?

Some news briefs first:

• got a 102 on my last test. Professor curved it 4 points.
• got a 91 on the final and an A in the class
• our new instructional DVD is out (Go here)
• hate my job LOL
• really sore from yesterday's lift
• thinking about going to Medical School instead of Nursing School (more on that later)
• it is hella cold outside

My good friend and probably one of the top 20 185# in the country, Charles McCarthy, is coming to spend a week in Athens from the 27th-Jan 3rd. His jits is top notch. It will be great to hang out and do some training with him. I am very much looking forward to it. More importantly what he recently wrote on the UG moved me and I wanted to share it here.

The question was asked: "I am interested in buying a Singer instructional DVD. Does anyone here have any info on them? Are they accomplished fighters? What is the scoop on them?"

Charles responded with the following: "I have trained a lot with them and with Forrest at the hardcore gym in Athens. I can do nothing but sing their praises. Adam is not a fighter, he is the coach. He is the best guy in the gym but he dedicates his time to getting his guys ready. Rory is an excellent NHB fighter and is on a great win streak. I feel he is about to make some huge waves and is on the fast track to the big show. He has great standup and clinch work along with very good jitz. Forrest is right along side Rory in terms of skills and is an amazing athlete to boot. He was a contestant on the UFC reality show and while I don't know the results, I think he has to be one of the favorites to win the whole thing. Combined they make one of the greatest forces in the southern USA. Anything these guys put their name on will be worth it. "

Such an awesome thing to say and completely unsolicited which is why it really got to me.

It is so nice to not have school or an upcoming fight on my mind at the moment. I do have a fight coming up in February in Florida but I am not worrying about it just yet. I will start hardcore training for it real soon. As for now I am still just enjoying some light training and some heavy lifting. I will give all the details of the fight as soon as I am allowed to do so.

Otherwise not much else to report. Go buy our new DVD! Until next time...
