Life wasn't easy for James Pesek. His coach just passed away. His girlfriend just left him. He doesn't have much to show for himself other than his natural ability and his skills in combat sports. James had some gold medals in submission fighting competition. He had coached champions in MMA fighting. He didn't have much to show for himself though in that regard. He recently had to move away from everything he knew. Going through a break up, and losing a long time coach was hard.. almost too hard to take. So moving to a new city was the only thing he could do.

Recently, James had started at the local MMA gym. He hasn't joined the team. It almost felt like that would be betraying his old team, although he knew that was a silly thought. All he had been doing so far has been working out with the heavy bag, and also doing his bodyweight routine. He had the itch to wrestle again though. 

James walked up to the gym door and pushed it open. Light blazed in from the outside and cut through the dimly lit gym. It smelled like sweat. The mats had a few people practicing grappling. Whether it was Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Wrestling, or Sambo.. James did not know. However he might ask to train with them later.
