July 27, Bon Voyage Daniel!

Daniel is making a huge life change and moving himself to Mammoth Mountain to live and work. We are happy for him that he is chasing a dream. At the same time we are sad to lose such a valuable teammate. Daniel has trained with us for close to three years and he will sorely be missed. I'm hoping that he continues his Jiu Jitsu training because he has the potential to be an awesome Black Belt someday. To watch him over the last three years and the improvements that he made, have been remarkable. No offense to Daniel, but when he first started, during mat time, people always said, "Where's Daniel, I need someone to Tap!" but now, when mat time comes, they call it Daniel Dodging...people try to hide from him for fear of being manhandled and forced to tap! We threw a little celebration for Daniel tonight to let him know how important he is and to support him in whatever he chooses to do.
special thanks to Jaime and Sophia, Max, Charlie and Beth Ann for the help in setting up the party.
we also Played some SUMO WRESTLING!!!


the matches were short and intense!

sorry for the blurry pics but it was so much fun!



Daniel, Good luck to you and keep in touch!
