Pan Ams 2010

A couple weeks back was the Pan ams, at the same time the Formula D season opener was going on.  I was playing double duty going back and forth between Long Beach and Irvine for both events.  A surprise was that Phil came down for some work stuff. It was gnarly trying to balance everything out, but it worked out in the end.

Since I am not working for any teams this year, I spent most of my time at Pan Ams to watch my team mates compete.  My brother was also competing, so I made it a point no to miss his matches.  He ended up doing pretty well, losing to the guy who won the whole event.  This is always the best, as it makes you feel not as bad about getting beat.

Going to all these events, I realized how much fun it was to go to jiu jitsu tournaments.  There are a ton of good matches and there are a ton of even better looking chicks.  Well the second one doesn’t have anything to do with why you’re there, but it sure makes it better.

Props to Giva for going straight from the airport after Bao’s fight to coach everyone. They guy was there everyday until the end to make sure that everyone had someone coaching them.  LOTUS CLUB/ Team Oyama
