    When you are constantly laying your hands on a person, and twisting their bodies into painful positions you develop an amazing understanding of which way it twists and tweaks, and in what ways.

    This is generally thought of in terms of our offensive, and submission capabilities.  But today, Sensei Mike Hermosillo, of Hidden Valley MMA applied his dark forces for the purposes of good.

    After a really intense workout last week I have been all but crippled.  I was sure I had a pulled muscle.  I turned to a robust masseuse.  Nothing was working.  I was in intense pain, and my ability to use the rest-room left-handed is severely limited.  Something had to be done.

    As a large man (about 260 pounds), I have found that many chiropractors can be just a little bit too “wussy” to give me the severe man-handling that I need.

    Enter my mentor and Sensei, “Big Mike.”  After 15 minutes of Mike really putting the hurt on me, I couldn’t feel better.  The power to break, the power to heal.  Thank goodness for my grappling family! :)

    All kidding aside though, it is really neat to be around people who have spent so many years learning about the pains, and the movements of the human body.  Be sure to talk to your instructors when you hurt, rather than just skipping classes.  You will be shocked how much they may be able to help.
