Mon Oct 12/15, Thanksgiving 1:00 pm Open Mat
After being away for little, with G being sick and the miniature vacation. All that driving… yes 15 hours to Windsor taking the US route, 3 hours to Kitchener, 5 hours to Sudbury, then 10 hours back to Tbay.
All I gotta say is Chicago sucks… Minneapolis, Michigan, and Wisconsin are simple drives.
Oh Detroit also gets a 5 thumbs down…. man. a third of your life sepnt on the highway waiting to drive 5 km…
WTF. Driving in Toronto was like that… what a waste. would rather be training BJJ…. thank god for BJJ, lol…
Thank god! It would help with the traffic congestions… get out and roll!! OSSS
Yep went in to work to do a few things… will be doing that for the a couple days.
Things keep piling up on the desk lol.
Parental leave eh?? Lol
On a better note… Me and the monkey went into open mat for 1 pm!
Cute pic of my homie the Albino Rhino hanging with G star!!
Rolled with Veal, which seemed like an eternity… kinda was lol… great warm up, though. 25 to 30 mins of rolling.
Baby needed some attention… then rolled with the Albino Rhino for another eternity lol.
Baby needed more attention.
Left the gym at roughly 3pm… yep great time! great rolling!

I train a lot… or at least I’d like to think that I do.
Now I’m not comparing myself to those in their early 20s or even late 20s but hey… those, that are in their mid to late 30s, have a full time job, mortgage child or worst a baby. Love my baby… really do or else I wouldn’t have done a 6 month parental leave… and here in my head head I thought it would mean more BJJ.
Baby talk all day… really BJJ keeps me sane. Oh, the fine scotch helps too.
Someone once told me that they had all these friends that use to train all the time… gym, weights, cross fit and stuff. Then out of nowhere they quit. Common denominator… a baby lol. So, apparently I’m doing OK.
Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturday’s. Rowing or lifting only in the early mornings on Sundays, Tuesdays, & Wednesdays…
Getting out OTM can be tough… when I’m out. I train.
Sometimes I really don’t feel like it when I out OTM… truth.
Heck I still went… or wait maybe it was an excuse to leave the house. Great excuse either way.
Yep went to the Complex in the morning and rowed…
Yes pulled 2 km under 10 mins. Fantastically, fantastic…
Had enough gull to go to open mat…
Sooo much truth… all you have to do is show up… lets just say I wanted to take it easy. Mitch was in and he mentioned he wanted to roll with me a lot. Mitch is newer… heck he even invested in a Gi, which kinda means he maybe a keeper. Younger athletic, moves like a wrestler, very natural in negating attacks, and is friends with Devon. Yep, Devon Richer. Our head coaches son. Soo, you can guess he has had some rolling time… which is fantastic and he is game.
Rolling:(10 mins, 1 min breaks)
1. Mitch
2. Mitch
3. Mitch
4. Mitch
5. Jesse Veltri
For some reason he kept wanting to roll, especially after the bell, soooo I kept going lol… and hey, I don’t segregate my rolling time to specific people. I was the same way… always wanted to roll with the best. Back in the day when there was only a few of us in a GI at the older location, that meant anyone lol.
Rolling with Jesse is nice cause he’s always setting up attacks and combos. Unfortunately, we’ll be losing him to Winnipeg as a training partner. His competition Nogi, 10th Planet, trucker stuff will be missed. TBH, without him I would have never been able to learn how to defend those kinds of attacks.
Different styles makes different scenarios, making different strategies, and different approaches.
You will be missed here buddy, cheers to your next chapter!
