Have you ever travelled to Japan? Trained BJJ with Japanese MMA champions? As a frothy, fresh Blue Belt Joey's first comp was the Asian Championships in Tokyo! He travelled with his coach and Master to experience all that Japan had to offer:
1.) Training with Japanese MMA Champions
2.) Starving to cut weight for comp
3.) Abstinence for Success
4.) Judo Throws & Sh*ting Blood
5.) Fighting to the death... Respectfully!
There was a huge culture shock on training intensity, competition level and the darker side of travelling and competing. There are a lot of great take aways from this discussion, some of them cautionary. Entertainment at its best with epic stories from Joey's Japanese adventure.
