    Finally, a New Business for the Thread!! About a month ago my ex and I went to a craft festival. Neither of us ate breakfast that morning, and we both were craving cinnamon rolls. We figured someone would have them for sale. At first, we didn't find any, but eventually, we climbed a steep hill...

    Thoughts on Blue Belts Quitting A lot of people quit BJJ when they reach blue belt. It's called the "Blue Belt Blues." There's a bunch of websites that talk about reasons blue belts quit so often. For example, Elite Sports has a long list: When I returned a storage unit a few weeks ago, the...

    35 is still plenty of good years. You could be a black belt by 45 even without competing or fighting. I love being at a fight gym because wearing the Gi is almost taboo. Even on Gi day nobody wears it. I wear it only in our fundamentals classes and for kids classes. This mostly happens if you...

    I hope that's what happens, for the same reason I never minded giving out Upwork proposal secrets. The better my competition is, the better I must become to defeat them. It creates an infinite loop of improvement. Thank you! I've thought about MMA. My jiu-jitsu is good enough. I'd have to work...

    Major Milestone Achieved My reign of white belt terror officially ended at 7:15 last night when I was surprised with a promotion to blue belt just before advanced class began. FYI, I'm not a child, my coach is just very very large. This was after 14 months of training, 17 tournaments, 81...

    Tap Cancer Out in Chicago, IL Not much to say. This tournament was a shit show. The city of Chicago sucks. It was a fun road trip with 4 teammates, but not worth the 8 hour drive for a terribly disorganized Gi-only event. I won my first match with a guillotine from top half-guard, and my second...

    About an hour ago I shared this 15-second short of a guy defeating my locked in, arm behind the back, kimura attack, by standing up. It's already got 1k views. It was a hail mary attack and he casually stood up out of it haha. In the moment, I was like, fawwwwkkkkkk, but looking back, it was...

    AGF Springfield This tournament was brutal, but also an epic day and a great experience. Lilith's Matches Lilith competed in Gi and NoGi. This was her 7th tournament. Until now, she had 24 matches and 24 losses. But all of those losses built her up for today, and when the time came, she...

    AGF Springfield - Oct 4th. I'm in 4 divisions. I had 1 opp in Gi and No Gi and 1 for each Challenger division, but the regular division guy dropped, so I got moved to a higher weight class with more variety of opponents. As it stands, I'll have at least 6 matches. Fresh Attack Focus I've been...
