Saturday Training

Today we traveled down to Spring Hill Tennessee to train with black-belt and Robert Drysdale affiliate, Ray Casias. Ray owns and operates Tennessee Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy http://www.tbjja.com/  and also coaches the Rhino competition team. TBJJA is the home of Cory Robison, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt, who in 2009 took gold at  The European, The Pan American, and The World Championships. Ray and Cory also train with several top-notch MMA fighters. In other words, this is a legit gym. Professor Braga led a group that included blue belts Jason Bishop from Nashville MMA, and Nord Bathon and Bradley Steinborn from Jeremy Akin's Brentwood Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy. Samuel was dominant as usual, but I think many of us were most surprised by the physical presence of Nord Bathon. Ray called Nord: "Maybe the strongest guy I've ever rolled with." That statement speaks for itself. But it speaks even louder when you learn that Nord is 45 years old, and weighs a mere 165 pounds. But this guy lives and breathes fitness and his diet is downright scientific. At the other end of the spectrum is Ray's kid-student, Dillon. What a skill-set. He's like a ten year-old ninja with a take-no-prioners attitude. Great group of guys, and a great day of training.
