Day 29

Woke up, did Muay Thai, studied Bas, lifted weights, studied Bas. Afternoon submission wrestling with Gaz started by practicing triangles and armbars from the guard. After that we practiced an armbar, if opponent defends by pulling arm out you turn it into triangle, if triangle is broken turn it into armbar on the other arm. After class British Adam and Dan and I sat around talking a bit. Evidently Adam and his wife sold their house and belongings in Britain and everything they now own they have with them. They are going to see Australia for a month after Thailand where he has a couple job offers. If they like it they are just going to stay. Dan trained with mma fighter Elvis Sinosic in Australia and came to Thailand to train for a pro fight. He was better at jiu jitsu than the previous instructor and took the job offer to teach here. A few of us went to dinner at The Green Man Tavern, an authentic looking British style pub and restaurant. This place was really cool and also had a live band. Their english was mostly on point and they were playing stuff like The Beatles and James Blunt.
