Have a seat and listen, please don't say a thing
In matters of the heart sometimes, the truth will have a sting
Just don't take it personally, this is no attack
But we will never last because I am white and you are...also white

I only like black girls and brown girls, the café au lait
Caramel girls, and mocha girls just blow me away
If your a nubian, I want you to-be in every fantasy
But if you're a whitey, say nighty-nighty, your just not the girl for me

Oh I hate vanilla ice cream, I like chocolate instead
I hope she likes her soul food with a little Wonder Bread
Don't call it Jungle Fever cause that just isn't right
I am not a racist, some of my best friends are white

I just prefer black girls, the brown girls, the café au lait
Caramel girls and mocha girls just blow me away. If you're a cracker, you better get blacker or else you best get out
It is no mystery, I like a sister see that's what I'm talkin about

Our wedding song will be "Ebony and Ivory", and we'll sing Christmas carols round the old Kwanza tree
But color is not the issue here, it's dignity, it's class
It's all about her heart, okay it's partly about that ass
I want me some black girl, the brown girl, the café au lait
Caramel girls, and mocha girls, just blow me away
If you're a honkey, you're singin the wrong key, it's the honest truth
The skin that she's dwellin in, must contain melanin, that is the Fountain of Youth.

6.30 Jiu Jitsu Class

This class was a purely rolling class with an hour of just rolling. Then came the challenge matches. Everyone sat in a circle and got to challenge anyone that they wanted to roll. I got challenge by two guys College Boy and Thing both purple belts and tapped the former and held the latter to a draw. At the end i was told that Sunday is a grading session and that i would be grading for Blue Belt and for me not to argue. Which had me taken back a bit. So i agreed and got changed.

8.00 MMA Class

This class started off as before with picking a partner. So me and Thing went together. We sat opposite each other with one guy hold up his hands and the other delivering a left right cross combo at each sit up, 30 sec each then switch. Then it was medicine ball sit ups also 30sec each. We got stood up and practiced our sprawl on each other and this time back and forth for a minute. After this it was 50 push ups 50 crunchs and 50 jumping jacks. Then we broke out the kick pads out and had one guy in the middle with a guy each side of him delvering roundhouses full force one after the other for 2mins and then switch leg after this it was then same drill with front kicks. We drilled Front kicks and thrust kicks in this fashion also. After this was completed it was then time to work on our hand combos which we did on the bags and focus mits and class was finshed with 5o push ups 25 crunchs and 25 junping jacks and stretch out.

4.00 Grappling Seminar in a taekwondo school

Was so much fun to twist the taekwondo guys up yes i am evil


Sunday 4th May

12.00 Grading

For an hour an hour it was just warm ups and stretching not to mention the nerves kicking in.

First point of order was to show 3 takedowns, my 3 were Firemans carry, Double leg and a duck behind and trip to get the back.
Next was 3 Straight arm locks and the ones i chose were armbar from guard and from mount and from side control.
Next was 3 Bent arm locks and i chose the Kimura from side control and guard and then a chicken wing from north south.
Then i was to show 3 chokes. So i chose a rear naked a triangle and katahajime choke which is with the gi which i am partial to.
then it was the turn to show leg lock and i chose to do ankle lock from double leg take down, a heel hook from half guard and a knee bar from knee on belly.
Then i had to show 3 sweeps from any position, i did kimura sweep from guard, siper guard sweep and bridge and roll sweep from mount bottom

Then it was the turn for the judges to ask us to do things. First judge said in his book i had passed and said i can see no more good job (which was fucking great!). Second judge asked why i had only done lock up take downs to which i replied that i am a submission grappler ARU!!!!!!!!!! So then i did a double leg takedown, then a shoulder throw and a gi judo throw. Next was to explain a Jiu Jitsu get up and to do it 50 times to test cardio which was easy enough for me but not the other guy who was bolloxed at 10!!!!!!!!!!

After this was 3 5 in rounds with whoever wanted to fight you and you had to tap 2 of them to pass. And if you tap them then you get to rest the remaining time until the next fight. I rolled with Senior Lopez, Jim Guy and Matt. Grades were blue, Black and Black so a tall fucking order!

My first match went back and forth with me getting Lopez in a heel hook to end

A good 3 days this is

Monday 28th April

10.00 Adults Jiu Jitsu class

The class started as normal with a nice and simple stretch and warm up, from this we were going to do 26 choke variations from back mount. all the chokes would deal with 2 partners wearing the gi and then chokes consisting of only the choking party wearing the gi and finally both parties not wearing the gi. as i said before trraining in the gi is different but i see the uses and advantages of it and of sub wrestling. plus its a fucking oven!

From this it was 5 minute rounds of free rolling for 20mins to finish the class


Tuesday 29th April

5.30 Kids class going over position and basic chokes.

6.30 Adults Jiu Jitsu class

Since there was 4 beginners down we went over some basic arm bars and basic chokes for there benefit or the poor bastards would be lost. from this it was rolling for 5 5min rounds to finish.

7.45 MMA Class

First thing that was done was to pick a partner of equal size and to sit facing each other and lock legs, one side put there hands up and then what was done was sit ups followed by a 6 count right left cross combo and keep going at your fastest speed for about a minute and then it was the partners turn to do the same this was done 3 times each and then we moved on to sit up in the same postition and hand a medicine ball back and forth to each other and sit ups were done. From this we moved on to shoot and sprawl drills. One partner shot and the other sprawled and was done back and forth. Next stage was then to take the back of the person that was sprawling and was also done for a period of time.

Next was a circuit that was set up. 3 people lay down and and put on focus pads while one stands with the muay thai kick pad. first part of the circuit for me was to get inside the first guys guard and punch a 6 count right and left cross combo as before an then the guy on bottom arm bars you and this is done for 30sec and you move to the next guy. You get in his guard and do the combo again and then the guy on bottom triangles you and you start again till the 30secs is up. next station was you take mount and do the combo and then armbar the bottom guy and continue for 30secs. next station was the thai pad and only front leg kicks were allowed both sides for the time. After this it was the heavy bags with a 1 2 and round hose combo high or low was your choice. then it was just knees on another bag and finally was a 1 2 3 combo (jab straight hook) on both side to finish the circuit.

This circuit was done twice and then i had to switch with my partner (more than happy to do it!) so it was my job to put my hands up and punch and then take the arm bar. after 2 more rounds of this circuit it was free rolling for 3, 5 min rounds to
finsh up for the evening.Thank Christ!
