Post MIMMA and 1st Semester of LLB

I am back.
Maybe for a while. So, update time.

Let's start with LLB.
Not really a great start.
Received quiet a surprising news/info.
But I try to not let it bother me to much.
But, as much as I try not dismiss it, it did bother me a bit.
I was always thinking about it the whole semester.
So, study was okay apart for me having to repeat 2 subjects next semester.
Which is a bummer, considering I did okay, minus for the tests, which I blame for myself.
So, for next semester, I'll have to tackle 11 subjects, so there.

Then, come MIMMA, or the Malaysian Invasion Mixed Martial Arts tournament.
I dreaded this for one single reason, it's in the middle of my LLB course.
So, I had to divide training time and study time, and it is hard when in LLB.
Thank god that I had understanding firm mates.
So, one month after qualifying for the ladder match, I had intensive training everyday.
I sparred every single day. I even cried. I had pushed myself to the limit every single training session.
So, comes the day of my first ever proper MMA fight,
and I was fighting Derrick Ee, a Wuji MMA practitioner.
And I was scared shitless even before stepping into the cage.
I saw his picture during the tryouts and OMG, he was ripped to shreds.
I was super scared that I would get knocked out but one week before the fight, my training partners had prepared for me mentally for the fight.

On fight day, I was thankful that my trainer and training partners were there to be my cornerman.I was so touched and that pumped me even more for the fight.
So, right after my trainer give me some tips and encouraging words, I stepped into the cage, and this is how it went:

So, yeah. I won via armbar, which is a total surprise to me, considering that I was getting hit in the face 90 percent of the time. Here are a few pictures from the photographers at the event.

So, I qualified for the quaterfinals and let me keep the quaterfinals story short, I loss. The end.

So, what happens now?

Currently, because of my results in LLB, I had to leave the world of MMA behind for a while.

But, I promise I will return.

I WILL RETURN.

LLB+MMA+BJJ+GYM=ULTIMATE HUMAN

(THIS IS A DELAYED POST)

Just got through the first week of being a LLB student.
Got selected, more likely out of a desperate need, as the office manager.
Damn hard job.
But someone has to step up.
And already, I've dropped loads of cash.
Maybe it's for the better.
Currently looking forward to the forensic science subject.
Taught by the former head of Selangor's PDRM CSI department.

MMA and BJJ training is not going smoothly as I thought.
Over exhaustion by tuesday and took a 2 day rest.
But managed to get my ass to my maestro's final BJJ class before he leaves for Brazil.

This guy is my first real BJJ teacher. 

His name is Wesley Rodrigues and he came for the birthplace of BJJ, Brazil.

He trained under the Gracie name and now is a purple belt. 

He has gone back to Brazil to get his Black Belt and will come back when he does get it.

He is more than a teacher, he is a friend and I will miss him.

During his stay at MuayFit, he left 2 things:

1. OSSS!!!!!!!!!
2. HIGH LEVEL BRO!!!!!!!

If you don't understand that, you need to get your ass to MuayFit for some BJJ, bro.

I've got 2 weeks before MIMMA.

And I'm currently nursing injuries on the left side, from top to bottom.

But, I promise you this, I will leave everything in the cage come the fight.

150%. 

And I will not disappoint.

I will show the spirit of a malay warrior.

OSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Rant to Relieve Stress

I am super stressed.
Started from two weeks ago.
Received a news that changed my world.
But have learned to accept it, being a heartless bastard that I am.

Then comes MIMMA.
Okay here's the story.
I joined MIMMA just to gain some experience in the cage.
I was unable to join an amateur event because of an injury.
Thus, I joined MIMMA.
Then, I a spiral of events, I got through.
But here's the thing, my friend didn't.
I am not happy about that.

Here's the thing.
The fight, in my view, was dominated by my friend, who I unfortunately have to fought.
He killed me in striking and also mostly dominant on the ground.
The only thing I could mange is to score a takedown, and that's it.
I don't know how the hell the match was scored that it allowed for me to pass to the next round.
The fight is down here....

I'm also worrying about my studies that is starting soon.
I've already got a game plan for that.
Getting on the dean's list. No Bullshit.
It's time I get fucking serious about study.
For the sake of my family.

But, in the meantime, at the back of my head, I am worrying about how would I balance my studies and training.
I know I have little chance of winning the tournament.
But, I wanna go down fighting.
I just hope God has some good plans for me.
