Dec 22/15 Tues Morning BJJ
Train lots, train as often as you can, and just do it… especially if you can. Work, life, and plenty of worldly things will always get in your way, but when absolute opportunity arise, man there are no excuses, aside from sickness and health. Moving and doing things is what makes us live. Being engaged in actual physical and mental activities makes us human, creatively makes us grow intuitively. Its innate and deep deep inside us.

Everything’s in the mix… the perfect hobby.
Ironic though… a wonderful quote I once came upon by the lovely Tabetan Monk the Dalai lama
BJJ takes me to the here and now. Living in the moment. Trying to survive for my life.
Sooo then definitively BJJERs are living!!
Whut whaaat!!!

Osss Osss!!
Yeah lol…
Got to LEMMA around 9 am… gym temperature was crap lol.
Hot extreme warmer temperatures minimise injury period come on mon… guess the owners of building hate paying for hydro or gas lol.
Maybe the heat is why in Brazil the age cohort is much greater that train in Jiu-jitsu…
That’s a bunch of #bullshit BTW lol.
Jiu-jitsu has just been there much much longer lol. I do see some kind of positive correlation between injuries and the climate of the conditioning area’s… makes sense no? Still gotta warm up though. False sense of physical security jumping right into hard rolling lol…
Yes last night I popped a naproxen… didn’t even go to BJJ at night. Ankle and upper back was a little sore.
No I didn’t drink lol…
Apparently naproxen and alcohol can cause holes in the stomach. Don’t need that lol.
Clip of us this morning below, 5 min rounds, with Kat, Thor, Winston, Jordan, and Justin…
Coach Keith dropped some nice knowledge about the collar grip set up!! Ossssss, if you missed it… to bad. Go get a private from him.
Well worth it!!!
Great rolling this morning!!
Ossss

Dec 21/15 9:00 am Monday Morning
Showed up at LEMMA around 9 am… tones of guys OTM this wonderful morning.
Temperature was #badass in the gym.
Great for the joints of this old man…
Love how I’m getting 2 weeks off of work to unwind, yep back at the desk on the 4th lol… especially after the grueling session of trying to play catch up to all the paper work after taking 5 months off from Parental leave to take care of the baba. No hate…
Parental was parental leave, seriously all work and no sleep hah!!
#babybrainexists
Veal showed us some tricks with the darce choke from side control with his long ass monkey arms…
Fantastically awesome!
Rounds were tough this morning, no one was letting up… freaking sore, tired and burnt out.
KINDA LOL.
Great stuff though… rolled with the Bear, Veal, Tony and then Thor. All were 5 mins of constant pressure, with 1 min breaks?
Was reminiscing my very first takedown in my very first IBJJF tournament in Chicago after I got my blue belt… made a cute clip of it while drinking scotch last night below…
Got a quick clip of us messing around this morning below…

Dec 18/15 Open Mat
Rolling is soooo important… its the magical glue that melds all of what you feel as your grappling intuition into the desired responsive sensitivity you wouldn’t normally develop just from working on, or drilling technique.
Man just show up lol… your training partners will push you.
Thank god for open mats and rolling we get… It gives us an opportunity to practice what we think we’ve learnt on live training partners. Sometimes too live hahahah LOL
Either way… got to LEMMA around 5:15 pm Friday. Morgo and Marco were OTM. Working on something, wasn’t even sure. I taped my week ass foot up, coffee was already downed. Rolled with Morgo, Marco, Kait, Kyle, Kevin & Mitch. A couple times with Marco, Mitch, Kait & Kyle… time flew by. 10 min rounds… yep great times. Good rolls and a lot learnt.
Quick clip of our 2 hour jam session below…

Dec 16/15 BJJ
Word… crappy weather, lol Oops two words.
Wanted snow… just not all this damn wet slushy stuff lol.
Got to LEMMA around 5:30 pm…
Yes tape.
Yes ankle wraps.
Yes naproxen.
Had a long ass roll with Thor. Short easy flow round with young Leath. Then a fun round with Tyler. Great stuff… Thors is always a tough roll, making me work my ass off on bottom. Leath is just a new and a very young white belt. Tyson… damn Tyler… we need to work on your passing lol… who’s teaching you to do funny stuff like that… lol… we need to talk!
Warm-up was good!!
Arching and shrimping lol… yes shrimping.
Bad ass don’t hate brah!!
Thor had us review knee circles to negate the butterfly fantastic… shins are sore.
Went to Kelsey’s… wing today night.
Holy crow… too 20 mins for someone to take my order.
Ridiculous… lol half price wings worth it I guess lol.
Either way last night class was great!
The long ass roll was good… lots of time to think, adjust and improve on the previous errors.
Coach is gonna up the time to 90 mins instead of 60, which is fantastic!
More rolling and drilling which is awesome!!
No tip pho you Kelseys waitress sorry… didn’t even hook me up blue cheese like I ordered… missing carrots and celery lol.
