Saturday night, a group of 20 Petranek Fitness students met up at the Santa Monica Civic Center to watch our very own, Traver Boehm compete in the TFA (Total Fighting Alliance - totalfighting.net) fight night (mixed martial arts cage fighting). CONGRATULATIONS Traver! After being thrown to the mat twice, rather dramatically I might add by his opponent, drawing loud cheers from the audience, Traver put his Jiu Jitsu skills to work, and about a minute into the first round, forced his opponent to tap out by a triangle choke. We were all looking forward to watching him make the other guy suffer a bit more - but he made quick work of it. Hey, a win is a win!! Way to go, Traver!



Today's Workout
"Chelsea"
Every minute on the minute for 30 minutes, complete:
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats
- complete in this pattern until you are no longer able to finish the round within a minute
- at this point, finish as many additional rounds as possible, outside of the one minute per round requirement
- scoring: you'll get 2 scores - your first is the number of rounds you were able to complete within the 1 minute time frame, and the second is the number of rounds you complete after that, and until you reach 30 minutes.

Congrats, Traver! I feel like a real heel for missing it. Wish I had been there for your final glorious victory, you earned it!

Once again, Effing A, Traver!

Cheers.

WAY to GO Traver!! Congratulations on completing your last fight with total success!!

What a blast it was to be there cheering you on!!! If only there had been a camera facing us to catch our Oooooooh's and Ahhhhhh's...we're very protective of our own! But deep down we knew you had him just where you wanted!! CONGRATULATIONS!

And I have to agree with Andy - that one fighter who was bouncing up and down might want to come check the gym out. My favorite line was Philip yelling, "JJUST SIT ON HIM!!! SIT ON HIM!!!"
HAHAHAHAHA!! Was so good to be there with all of you! And once again Traver...HOT HOT HOT!!!!

Congratulations Traver!! Becca just told me this was your last fight....I'm so sorry that I missed it. Can't wait to hear about it from you.

It was great being able to watch your fight - although if it wasn't for Valerie who sat next to me and explained the choke hold you had on the guy - I would have not know what was happening! The next day, I had Val "demonstrate" your winning move.... needless to say, I tapped out too!
CONGRATS! You ROCKED!

LOL - how did I miss Val choking Shelley in class!!

Congrats again Traver - great job on your fight and I'm glad we were there to see it!!!

CONGRATS Traver!!! It was a lot of FUN and exciting watching the fights, and you performed like a champ! I hope you could hear us screaming for you from our section. I had the best seat in the house between Phillip and Lisa--too bad we didn't record all our inappropriate comments!

Have you recruited any of those cops to join the gym yet, Kathryn?? lol! You guys were almost as entertaining as all the mohawks!

HAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!! We're workin' on it, Bec, we're workin' on it!!!
We're making up those "personal" invitations right now!!

Kathryn!! What was the total mohawk count? My favs were the sea foam green and the two little kids who looked like MY kids with their pink Mo's.

Oh, and everybody can attest to this...guessing where the camera guy's lens was gonna end up. He was makin' a beeline straight for the lime green spandex ringgirl shorts of the promise land!! HA!

Inappropriate coments? Why am so well known for inappropriate comments? Can I help it if I just try and keep people on their toes No way in hell is Traver going to hang em up.

Congrats, Traver! It was a great fight. You won, and I had an excuse to choke Shelley the next day!

Well, I can't say thank you enough times for all of your love and support, both before and after the fight. Of all of my friends, school, jiu jitsu and other, Petranek Fitness brought the largest group of people to the event!
I have also never walked into a fight this confident about my conditioning and strength, just one more testament to the efficacy of what we do every morning!!
Thank you all so much for all of your encouragement and for coming out to show your support, it means the world to me.
Traver

You know, I almost laughed out loud when the 3 cops showed up to the 7am class this morning (Wed).

Final Mohawk count was 14 (actually that includes 13 true mohawk's and 1 Fauxhawk...that guy with the ever so subtle raise in his hair height on top)--1 blue, 1 green, 3 hot pink. Andy, you lost your opportunity to sport a Mo when you shaved off your hair.

I almost laughed too. I thought maybe Lisa and Kathryn had sent out those invitations. It was great watching Traver win the match! Congratulations again, Traver!!!

Just want to let you guys know that Travor stated in his post fight interview (live internet stream and dvd) with me that he owes his cardo and strength to you guys. He definitely got big and lean.
I hope I can make it in there one day.
