    Lex DeVille's: One Thread For All My Genius, Unhinged, Mostly Really Bad Ideas

    Major Update!! Last night I went to class like usual - 30 minutes early to drill, followed by fundamentals, followed by kickboxing. Before kickboxing class, the MMA coach approached and asked if I still want to fight. He asked my age and walking weight. Then he said he thinks he has a fight...

    Newbreed This weekend I'll wrap up the 2025 season with one last comp in Tulsa. It's my 19th. I hoped to hit 20 by the end of the year, but most of the December comps are on the 13th and I have other priorities. I also hoped to reach 100 matches by EoY, but it looks like I'll fall short as I'm...

    First Blue Belt Competition Fuji didn't go as well as I hoped, but wasn't all bad, plus, the gains should be exponential compared to what I got from white belt comps. After all, I got promoted pretty early and started competing with less than a month at blue. I won my second match by mounted...

    Ours aren't that hard to make, but it's time-consuming. Like 4 hours.

    FUJI I feel ready for the tournament this Saturday. It's my first at blue belt. I'm in two divisions, NoGi and NoGi Elite. In NoGi, my only opponent dropped out last minute, but another took his place. In NoGi Elite there are 3 opps - a white, a blue, and a purple who signed up last minute...

    I keep sort of an AI journal through ChatGPT. At home, I make notes about techniques or combos, things I tried that worked or failed, and how rolls went. That way ChatGPT can create a record of it to reference later on. I also keep a Google Sheet for logging total training hours. You can see a...

    There's fighters in the gym 6 days a week. Saturday is kind of a forced day off since the only class is for women. If I had to guess, I'd say they spend 15 - 20 hours a week in the gym. That's for classes and open mat, but some of the fighters also take private lessons. I pay $200/mo for...

    Honestly, I have no idea. I'm not great about keeping up with all the diet stuff. Usually, I eat a meal with meat/protein in the morning. I try to stop eating by noon, but will eat as late as 2pm. About 2 hours into training, I eat half a banana. I drink a couple of electrolyte drinks early...

    New Move Unlocked Last night I hit a NoGi flying armbar. God I wish I had video. It's the first time I've done it live. The guy was a 20 something wrestler who goes rough, (the perfect test subject). I grabbed a collar tie and a grip on his elbow. When he didn't disengage, I locked down and...

    For BJJ I haven't worn a mouthguard except the first couple of months. For sparring, I've been hit/kicked in the face quite a few times, so its a necessity. If you roll in contacts, then I wouldn't see striking in contacts as much of an issue. Maybe for hard sparring, but most beginner striking...

    FIRE FOR THE CAGE Monday I stayed after kids class for MMA grappling for extra mat time. Tuesday was Gi BJJ, but I didn't bring a Gi, and didn't want to train Gi. Normally, not an issue. But the coach called me out in front of the class, and told me to go grab a loaner Gi. Then he told...
