This afternoon did my weight session and then wrestling with JJ Ambrose, My weight session was a lot of leg work and I didnt bother to stretch the legs after because I knew i had wrestling on. That was a mistake we had to do lots of leg drills, the lactic acid in my legs was killing me usually I can blast through those excercises easily but not this time i was really struggling. After that we practiced single leg takedowns variations which was really fun, we were told be nice to our partners so every time i took mine down i would gently place him on the ground but he wasnt that big, in return he couldnt hold my weight so i would fall over for him. Next we were told to get into groups of 4 and JJ told these 2 arabs to go with the girls, they refused and said it wasnt ethical i guess its against there culture. The 2 arabs landed in my group along with Andy the pommy and Jared from Melbourne, the game was 1 guy in the middle for a minute and one by one the other guys attack him for a takedown which was really fun but the 2 arabs probably weighed about 50-60kg each so I had a big advantage and practiced some more of the technical moves on them and saved the rugby tackles for Andy and Jared. The next game was king of the hill where winner stays in after being in the middle for about 8 rounds I was hammered and when me and Jared went out of bounds i slapped him on the back and said "you Won". I really loved the wrestling and JJ said that tomorrow he will put on another session because he wants to get some wrestling in and it would be a good oppurtunity for us to work on specifics, also tomorrow I have a private muay thai session with the head trainer i was really stoked that he was available.

Got back to Nature House and most of the guys are at the "Restaurant" if you could call it that, its just like a shed with a few tables TV and the counter. They cook really good food though and everything is supersized for abot $2-$3 dollars a meal, i get my protein shakes from here as well for $2 about half the price of TMT. The main lady we all call her Mumma she's really nice, you order from her then she starts ordering all the othe ladies around in Thai, sometimes you walk in and there all laughing and talking in Thai i dont have a clue what there going on about. Around the tables tonight everyones talking about there favourite fighters and which fighters do roids etc then one of the guys starts talking about how he is on the roids that he got from the chemist around the corner, hes only 18 and were all giving him crap about how his balls are gonna shrink. But dont worry i have no intention of touching that crap. Im planning on doing my advanced open water dive course while im here as well it costs about $200 for a liveaboard 2 days 7 dives amongst the islands around Phuket, ill save that for a weekend so it doesnt mess up my training routine.
