The best part of training this morning was getting to do matches after class. Recently a Renzo Gracie black belt from New York moved to the area and has been training at Paramount. I got to spend a lot of time rolling with him this morning. Its great to have such a high level training partner. He made some of the weaker parts of my game very apparent to me, which is good because there not positions that I’m put into very often training with lower belts. I got to spend a pretty equal amount of time both passing the guard and working from bottom. After my matches i was exhausted and had to leave for class to take a test. I wasn’t sure how training hard before a test was going to work out, but it turns out it was just what i needed. My head was clear and i felt great going into class.  I guarantee an A on the test.
