Back in USA

It’s been a week since I came back from my 1 year and 4 month trip to Asia. I am having a bit of culture shock being back here. Big roads, big cars and no people hanging out in the street. Everyone is in a hurry going to and fro, busy, busy, busy, rush, rush, rush.

I have been busy this week planning the next few months and getting a training and working routine down so that I can make some extra cash and keep my skills sharp. While I am here in the USA I am going to be concentrating on my g round game as I have a wonderful coach here by the name of Tony Passos, who got his black belt from De La Riva who is the same person who gave the Nogeuira brothers their black belts. I have been training everyday but have yet to reach the same level of training intensity that one can get in Thailand with three hour sessions in the morning and three hours in the afternoon. Here people have to deal with juggling work and family and so that kind of schedule is very difficult. However, I am here to absorb Brazilian Jiu Jitsu techniques like a sponge. I will get the most out of this opportunity that I can.

My training aside, I am concentrating on establishing my own brand of Martial Arts gear, Somchai. I am looking for distributors and trying to set up channels with which to send my product out. In the next couple of weeks, as we get a new website I will have an online store showcasing the gear, the proceeds from which will directly support Mixed Martial Arts Pakistan.

On the Mixed Martial Arts Pakistan side here is what you should be looking for in the next couple of weeks. An updated website, more engaging and user friendly with a lot more information. A more focused mission statement regarding what it is Mixed Martial Arts Pakistan wants to achieve and what we stand for. Some more logistical planning on the training center in Lahore (or maybe somewhere else) and the details surrounding it as well as information on a potential event this winter.

So please stay tuned and be patient as things get sorted out over here. Good things are to come.
