Sam Sheridan!!!

I feel like a giddy teenager today! Sam Sherdian commented on my blog and corresponded with me!!! Who is Sam Sheridan you might ask?

Sam Sheridan is the author of two of my favorite MMA reads, "A Fighter's Heart" and, "A Fighter's Mind". He also writes for Fight! magazine and is a regular MMA favorite interviewed among the various MMA websites and publications.

Sam is a Harvard grad that followed his nomadic adventuresome spirit and traveled the world while seeking to satisfy his need for adrenaline and to explore his fighting game. He served in the merchant marines, fought fires in New Mexico's Gila National Forest, and did construction in Antarctica. Sam lived, trained and fought Muay Thai in Thailand, trained with the Gracie's in Brazil, trained with Pat Miletich in Iowa at MFS, trained with boxing Olympic gold medalist Andre Ward, and trained with a Tai Chi master in New York. I'm certain that I've left something out, but you get the picture.

I believe that Sam is also involved in a documentary called, "Fight Life" that will be released in 2010 by a guy named James Feng. I saw this when I was watching a UFC fight on youtube the other day. Here's the link to that documentary: http://www.fightlife.tv/

Anyway, Sam's awesome and is very generous to correspond with his fans. You can see Sam's latest work on his new website: http://worldismadeoffire.com

Thanks, Sam! You Rock!!!

Kihap!
