Book progress

I am really into "The Laws of the Ring" by Urijah Faber. The boook doesn't relatively have a base of chronological order, in the sense that he jumps around his life from his years in highschool to his pro fighting career. The book provides "laws" or his views in what made him be what he is. Most of the advice he gives is very insperational, also he provides really good examples from his life. The one chapter that really stuck out to me was working harder but also work smarter. For his eample he used how he ran from his house to school and how it would be great to add another workout to his schedule, but he did not work smarter. Urijah arrived at school at 6 a.m. and no one was there. Urijah could've even ran back home, taken a shower, and still had time to catch the bus. The lesson in this chapter is to work smarter and harder in the sense of planning ahead of what you want to do. I am really getting into this book because it really gives me some really good advice not just for a person who is into MMA but for life in general.

Senior Project Update

So far I have gotten about 7 hours done of MMA training; that's not including the time spent weightlifting and exercising in yet. Training is going great, it sort of feels like I am learning a new technique every time I train and also improving the skills I already learned. Every training day we either do full on stand up(boxing, kick-boxing, and Muay Thai) or Brazilian jiu-jitsu. My stand up is alright; way better than my jiu-jitsu. I still struggle with some of the techniques of jiu-jitsu but I am learning quickly and catching up to some of the people who have been there for a while. I'm building my MMA diet routing and plan to actually go through it very soon. I want to experience how a weight cut feels. The closets weight I can make and not put a lot of stress on my body is 150 lbs. I have to cut around 10 to 8 pounds which is moderate to an MMA fighter, some fighters though cut around 30 lbs. before the fight to make it into the weight division they want to fight in. Also I want to add a short video to my presentation about me training inside my classes and my daily exercise plan for a week.
