Answer: I train as often as i can until my body needs a break. Even on sundays when thats usually my day off, I'll get a little hike or jog. I try to spread my training from striking to wrestling and jiu jitsu. Making sure I cover all assets of the game.
Question: What sort of gear do you usually keep in your gym bag before hitting the gym? Do you have different items for specific days
Answer: The type of gear I keep in my bag all depends on what day it is. Or what training session is up next. When its wrestling i only take my wrestling shoes my mouth piece and mma gloves. Of course my clothes that i will be training in. If its Muay Thai, i take my boxing gloves, 10 oz and 16 oz, my shin guards for when we use kicks in our drills. I also bring my thai pads and focus mitts, it always helps when theres a big group, just to make sure theres enough pads for everyone. When its a day for jiu jitsu i take my gi and my belt, and I'm ready to rock and roll. There's alot of gear i have for each session so I'm constantly changing bags.
