I was about to head out to training last night so that I could spend some time on the mats and give the Worlds Team my encouragements when I was stopped in my tracks with a sharp pain in my right rib. It had been there all day but when I woke up after my after work nap it buckled me. I assume this is bruising from when I was caught in the bow and arrow choke on Saturday at the tournament.

I've never damaged my ribs before but it is very uncomfortable and making it hard to take deep breaths. Last night was not alot of fun.

After a night of praying and restless sleep the pain is still there. I'll drop by the clinic on the way home for a check up but I'm hoping it is just bruising and it goes away on it's own. Needless to say I wish I could be at the academy but it's no use thinking of training if you cant breathe...

But I do want to wish Good Luck to the Toronto BJJ Mundials Team for this weekend in California. Have faith in your training; encourage and support each other; and stay strong in body and mind. God Bless you all!
