Purpose of this blog

Last time I was in Rio, I used my other blog to keep my friends and family up to date about both training and the day to day life in Brazil. This time around, I would rather focus my efforts on relaying stories more strict to my training both on and off the mat, as well as tips, thoughts, articles, and philosophies. For stories about our day to day lives and adventures please go to my lovely girlfriend Nicole's blog www.rioderubia.blogspot.com, she is doing a great job of posting  on our adventure.
