day 17
my final training session in vegas. fitting it is here. named simply after the man himself sergio penha. a true legend in brazilian jiu jitsu. he's an old war horse who's a brilliant technician and is all about one thing, submission and excitement.
his academy 6 or more black belts. some of the cleanest mats around. and its fairly large. its about a year old so he has a lot of new students and a great time to come in, cuz a new school needs a new team.
my trip had me feeling down cuz i felt trapped in vegas in a way. i have a buddy i am meeting in colorado and he wont be there til sunday so i'm stalling in vegas until he's a few days out from coming back.
but meeting sergio and training with him lifted my spirits. his passion for jiu jitsu is contagious and all his guys and girls are all tough as hell!
