After the Olympics Ben took some time and got away with a couple vacations. Since he has been back he been coaching wrestling and doing some jiu jitsu and a little bit of stand up. He plans on fighting in late January or early February. Wrestling is not easy to make a living, and grappling is so similar to wrestling that he picks it up pretty quickly. His plan is to take people down and submit them. It's not about sneaking up on people and being secretive, it's about showing them waht you have, telling them what you're going to do and then see if you can still do it. He has been training jiu jitsu seriously for about 2 months and is excited for how that is going.
Hey Ben, you really best start working on your hands my friend, the fight doesn't always necessairly go to the ground, but it Always starts standing!
