We got a kid on the England squad sponsored whose an unreal talent and another who has won the abas at junior level multiple occasions.
My old gym...Anthony Fowler, recently made it into the GB squad and picked up the Senior of the year award just recently.
i trained for a time at a Balla bro's gym in Vic Aust. Walked in one day and george sotriopulous was there training. The trainer said he had just got back from fighting in mma in japan, and in a few weeks he was gone again and the trainer said he went to the states to enter the TUF house. Also trained with my trainers nephew's, ibby and quemil, they were young at the time (14 - 16), but **** me they were so good. Now they are at the AIS, and have represented Aust. overseas in high level ametuer stuff. I was never 1 / 10th as good as them lol
Being the best in your gym, unless you're a world champion, is not a brag but more so a beat. Doesn't it kind of suck not having someone better then you to spar to learn off of? Best case scenario I would want a lot of guys better.
