Yes you saw that right? I am coming back to fighting and martial arts in general. Fighting is in my blood and my drive to be the best. As everyones aware of, by now you must have heard about my impending divorce. I think, hell Jamie and the kids bolt from Salina and I have no clue. We still married or what? I think we still are cause I still am getting her mail. All the bills that she owed, at least. However that is next week's column, my failed marriage. However this week we will chat about my coming back to competing and fighting.
Now why did I retire from fighting? I had no time to train with being a full time baby sitter for Jamie's kids. Now every time I would attempt some claim or ownership. “Our kids” or “the kids” it was snapped back to me that those were her kids. Now I fed them and washed all their clothes and made sure they got to school and home and to babysitters but they were her kids and her kids alone. However that is next week's column. Now that they are off to god knows where, I can train and train at the level that I had enjoyed for many years. I did have a lot of things I had accomplished and the drive to get into the gym had wained. For one, I had most of my sessions with either myself or these pot smoking crack heads who thought they could do all the stuff I was doing. For instance one day Auzzy wanted to do what I was doing on leg press. I was doing 1500 pounds on the leg press. Little Auzz could barley push {2} 45's on his own. Well let's just say he did not move the sled on the leg press.
Then I had the lost sight of focus on what I needed to accomplish. I ended up trying to be the “Baddest man in town”. I had to go from the bars and the night life and live up the fact I was “Jiggy Jaguar”. Now I had proved that quick, cause the “bad asses” and “bite size guys” had nothing for me. These fools were playing pool and poker and not doing much. I was sparring in the morning with “Robsobi” and “Jeaves Wilholms”. We were going 5-6 rounds on Boxing and kick boxing They were the baddasses not these *******s like “John” and “Bill”. However they had street cred and I wanted it. Well let's just say I got it and got it quickly and also I let the various women get in my head and they got me to lose my focus on what I needed to do and that was the baddest and best dude in the greater states.{I have no clue what that meant but it sounded cool when I thought it.}
I lost focus in the gym from maxing out machines and exerices, I wanted to improve and work with the equipment I had. Plus I got into the promotion side of things and training these goofs that had no future but laying in their own spit after a drug overdose. I also let a lot of crap that was said to me ruin several good friendships and those of my training partners. I will never gain those back and yeah those guys have forgiven me but I still like crap and can not say I am sorry enough. However what can be gained by all this. One, women are dream killers...well the right ones' are not. However they are few and far between. Two, never lose sight of what you need to do folks. I needed to stop being “King ****” in the bars and stay the man in the gym. I needed to go after that win in Tough man and that Box-A-Buddy title. I needed to do the 1 Professional MMA match that I wanted to do. I needed to get into Golden Gloves and make it happen.
So what after all of this can be gained and move forward. For one, I begin training tomorrow at a new gym here in Salina KS. It's a old school...dirty and dinging gym. The kind I like, no fitness bunnies running around, no other dudes asking me for tips and tricks. No people going, hey “Jiggy” what is up? Just down and dirty weight lifting and blood sweat and tears. Just doing what I do best and bust my hump to be the best fighter I can be. As far as sparring, I plan on over the next few weeks seeking some of the old gang, Eddie Harrison from Hutchinson, the craziest dude I know{and that's a good thing}, the best and toughest dude to ever get nailed by “Robsobi”. Then the man with the footwork. “Jeaves Wilholms”. Hell if Mike Hall has sometime, I am sure he would join us to take few cracks on me. I plan on consulting all my bros in the information superhighway, all my bros from Bodybuilding.com and Virgil Aponte{Stair exercise and diet guru}, Skip Hall{The oldest active MMA guy and personal friend of the radio program} for power lifting secrets.
What is the goal of all this and this has to have a payoff or you know I would never in a million years do this if there was not one.
I plan on competing in the next Box-A-Buddy if they had one, the plan was to fight the head bouncer Paul. However he wants me to fight Shuff the security guy at McGraw's? What am I fighting the cigerate girl next? So they are going stick a guy in there like Shuff with me? He will not have his walkie talkie to call for backup. So after that I get Paul? I also am planning on competing in the Tough man in Oklahoma, for one it's on TV on Fox Sports Network. Hell I get more viewers than that whole channel does. However I will attempt to go after my first Tough man win and add my name to the list of losers and never beens that have won Tough man Finally a shot at Golden Gloves with just 1 win. I never got the full chance, and I am running out of time there. So I am gonna take a shot at that thing.
Finally let's look at what I hope to accomplish, I am gonna take 3 months of just weight training and then 2-3 months of sparring with everyone I mentioned above. Then either Golden Gloves or Box-A-Buddy. Then tough man, hell then get in with the Salina Super cell guys and take a shot at MMA. I thank you for reading and it feels so good to be back doing what I love and that is writing the rant, doing the “Bigg Show” on Sundays, Freaky Friday once a month and of course doing the damn thing down at Salina's Rock station, 92.7 from 4-6pm M-F and last but not least the successful rocket buster that is Jiggy Jag TV. Thanks for reading and next week is all the gossip and gripes about my year of “wedded bless”.
