It's been a hell of a training camp getting to work with Marcelo Garcia, Thalison Spares, and Tainan Dalpra. I've been learning heaps, and even had to get a gi and belt for this 3 day event in Byron Bay.

This is the sort of neck strength I want as a grappler.
Fun fact:
This is why they kill Aussies back home where we hunt these guys with dogs and knives only.
See those tusks or rippers as they are called?
People get excited about the real big ones and think the bigger they are the worse the boar.
Wrong. They are all equally deadly due to the extreme upward force boars can generate.
Pigs eat by rooting up the ground with their snouts. They dig. So their necks are extremely thick and powerful and their shoulders are like armor plate when they charge you.
Then because they are low and you are high they get under your legs and rip upward into your thighs and try to cut your femoral artery.
You bleed out in minutes and they only need rippers half an inch long to do it due to the penetration of their necks.
In the wild pigs are predatory and hunt in big mobs for meat as well as vegetation.
Don’t ever think they won’t put you on the menu if you screw up.
They will.
Good talk.

It's true.
When it comes to recovery, if your body sends you a message and you don’t listen the first time, the lesson gets louder aka more paindful.
Sometimes a proper day off is better than any medicine.

Today I discovered that Queenstown, Tasmania, has a boxing club. I went there to do jiu-jitsu with a guy I found on the internet.

Coach Josh Wood, BHSc GCSC retweeted
'I wish I had space here to write down the training menus I lived on - I didn't live high.
I went ten weeks, for instance, on no liquid except one glass of water, sipped slowly, at bedtime each night. Each day after a workout, I went over my face and neck - pickling my hands, too, incidentally - with beef brine and borax.
I'd massage the brine into my skin, let the sun dry it, and then wash it off with warm water and borax; it left the skin soft and pliable, but tough, with the flesh underneath it partly pickled.
No matter how much trouble it was I did everything I knew about to make sure I'd be in shape when I crawled inside those ropes'

Unbelievable how tough these guys were.
Will-power is a finite resource. The more decisions you have to make the more you use it up. And, it takes time to recharge it.
The more skilled you are the less you will have to tap into will-power when you are training, cutting weight, competing or recovering.
Will-power is necessary but should be used as efficiently as possible because you only have a finite amount each day.
