Oh well. lol
Class was fantastic!!
We started with a nice little warm-up, some drilling with isolated sweeps from closed guard, reviewed the star sweep, then a bunch of 5 min rounds of rolling.
Great crew out. We had a visiting brown belt from Complete MMA in Regina, Paul, who joined in on our morning training session. Was great to have the opportunity to roll with him, fun fun! Pretty fast on his feet and a very good top control game!
Been practising these head stand things to improve my balance and strengthen my neck… lol
Got a clip of me showing the star sweep from closed guard to all the homies that attended the class…
Clip of the whole class and us rolling from last Sundays BJJ morning session…
Overall great class a lot of tough rounds…
Wrist, toe, and ankle is still mangled.
Thank god for Tiger Balm and tape lots of tape. lol…
Whether its read or not. Don’t matter. Its my gibberish.
Boxing day a was a great day of shopping and finding sales… got up early.
Real early lol.
Fed the monkey’s me and the wife had a small bite and we hit the road…
Lots of random deals, not much though.
I SWEAR there was more last year.
Nothing you don’t really need to survive lol… either way it was nice to get out of the house and burn a few calories walking around the mall with the wife and baby. Time with the family is important.
The mall was empty when we got there… when we left. The parking lot was full. People fighting for our spot lol. Yep nuts…
Either way the someone posted on our gyms group page asking if anyone wanted to train… reality was, I was planning on hanging with the wife and family for the day, especially with all the training I do already…
But, the post felt heart felt… lonely.
Almost loser like. I gotta heart man.

Either way got permission from the wife to go in… yep. Posted a reply… Kait also agreed to join in, all to meet for 2 pm.
Not too shortly after… dude bails on the session.
Really buddy? Like really?
I managed to rearrange my schedule to help you out. Maybe I need to be more selfish with my time.
Bunch of BS as far as I’m concerned… should have just figured dude was gonna bail due to the other numerous other occurrences, what ever, your loss.
#whitebelt4life
Not sure if he’s actually interested in BJJ or just wants to be associated with BJJ and the idea of cool people rolling.
Training BJJ and the cool ass lifestyle that comes with it…
#poser
All I know is the mat don’t lie and your actions speaks larger then words. Made up excuses don’t help with your journey… you only lied to yourself.
Public shaming possibly?
Providing we’re practically the only legit BJJ club in town… respect, honour, integrity doesn’t travel too far within our little training ground and BJJ community up here in the sticks. Where else you gonna train homie? In your basement?
Especially when you find out what was obvious is obvious…
#ENDRANT
Either way, I still managed to get some training in… actually a lot.
Thanks to only Kait that showed up, when someone else bailed.
We reviewed a basic closed guard arm-bar…. wooo hooo. Loved it!
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.
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…
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.
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.
