At 1900, Roman was headed to the gym with a duffel bag. In about ten minutes, he had changed into his traditional jiu jitsu uniform and in an additional ten minutes, he was warmed up and ready to go.

The gym was equipped with a training dummy and excersize mats. For the next half an hour without break, he trained, throwing kicks and punches at the dummy. Roman couldn’t practice throws or unbalancing techniques, but for now, the other moves were good enough. When he paused to rest, he was sweating and breathing hard as he stood, facing the training dummy.
