You Got Served!

I had to laugh out loud today when Gary–one of the beginners in my MMA class started to break out “The Worm”.

Gary has been at the gym for awhile now, and is part of the family.  Several months back, while riding on the back of a motorbike late at night–a dog ran across the road.  The guy driving the bike swerved out of the way, which caused him to lose control.  Gary, ridding on the back as a passenger was unable to jump off of the bike in time–and went crashing into the jungle.

50+ stitches, and losing close to 20 of his teeth, Gary was lucky to be alive.  He has such a good spirit, and is the perfect example of a teammate. He doesn’t take my class to become a professional fighter–rather he does it because he enjoys the sport of grappling, and he loves to meet new friends while he’s working out and keeping his body fit.

*Anyways*…Today Gary showed us a side of him we had never seen…lol.  With the class lining up along the fence of the cage chanting “Go Gary…Go Gary” he broke out his own “Breaking” impersonation. LOL…I thought it was pretty good :)

*GO Gary…Go Gary*…555+
