ISR Matrix and No Sugar

This past week was the ISR Matrix Course....
Had a good training group together -Mike came in from California, Phil from Uvalde, Rich from San Antonio and Marty from Seguin...We trained at Solidarity Jiu Jitsu....and Devon got to meet up with us on Friday.

We hit the basics and Mike got a chance to cover some of the stuff his folks are doing in Cali. Since we all had that down, we took some time to cover the Clinch w/ Cloth stuff that was covered at the Florida Conference....BIG focus on 50/50 and building the A-Frame....everyone loved it!

I'm honored to have been able to sharpen my skills as an instructor and to see that everyone picked it up so quickly...We closed with a business meeting on what we can do to spread ISR locally.

Mike stayed with us for the week...we had a good time and got to know each other a lil better..since before we had only known each other through the courses at Lackland AFB and through Facebook.

We took Mike to one of RCCC's Small Groups (www.reallife.org) and everyone enjoyed meeting him. We also went to the Men's Ministry lunch at Wings and Rings....yum!

Along with this, we pigged out like crazy at Gina's mom's house, Fuschak's BBQ buffet and THE GRISTMILL!!!

Seeing the slippery slope, Mike challenged us to go 30 days without processed sugars......Gina was all about, but I must say that I was (am still) hesitant....Mike took us shopping and cooked for us...and things are going well..At the time I'm writing this, we're on our 3rd day.

Thanks Mike.

All in all, it was a great week. I enjoy training new folks, but it's REALLY cool when you get to work with guys that already have it down and things are clicking....thanks everyone for devoting the time and energy.

...but even more so, thanks to Gina for putting up with a couple of juveniles with a weird schedule...love you babe!
