    Grr... Newbreed moved me to the higher belt division to face the blue belt. When I got home from class last night, I learned he dropped out of the tournament last minute. Now I'm the only competitor in the Masters Gi Blue Belt division and I'm not a blue belt!! Guess I'll switch to the...

    Newbreed It's finally a competition weekend! I have one opponent each for Gi and NoGi. Initially, I had no opponents for Gi, so they offered a refund. But I asked if I could fight a blue belt who is my age/weight who also doesn't have opponents for Gi. They said yes, so I'll get to test my...

    Training Hours Throughout the week, I'm getting 20 - 25 hours of jiu-jitsu. That includes instructionals, drilling, training, teaching, positional sparring, and live rolls. Roughly 18 - 20 hours of that is class/mat time. I don't know if I'll ever reach world-class levels of this sport. Time is...

    "Gym Rat" That's what coach calls me. I'll take it as a good sign. AGF Challenger Divisions I tried to fight in both Challenger divisions, but after emailing AGF, they told me I can only fight in one to avoid overlapping matches. So I'll fight in Masters NoGi at my walking weight, and remain...

    You might surprise yourself! I get beat by people with only a couple months experience sometimes. Usually from errors I've failed to correct in my game. For instance, getting guillotined off of single and double-legs due to poor posture (still happens a lot).

    Newbreed KC Small turnout, but reasonably deep brackets in Adult divisions. In NoGi, I won silver. In Gi, I was 4th of 7 after losing my final match to a weird armbar on the back of a triangle escape. I flew solo, so no team, no coach. I also worked the event, so no warm up before fighting...

    Coach Comments The other night, I was sitting with a white belt and our brown belt comp coach in between rounds. The white belt asked how stripes and promotions work. He said he didn't understand because when he rolls with me, I feel like more than a 1 stripe. Coach agreed and said I'm...

    ADCC Dallas It was a long, grueling day. We arrived around noon for my teammate's matches. My first match wasn't until after 8:30 at night. I performed well overall, and pulled off some pretty flashy moves. I won silver in the heavier division (-201lbs). Calf Strain I was dominating opp in...

The comp started at 8am, but I won't compete until close to 8pm so I'm hanging out at the hotel for now. Weigh-ins went fine. I was 3lbs under...

    ADCC There are over 1,400 competitors for the event, making it the largest comp I've attended by far. The next closest was only around 950 competitors. It's gonna be insane! New Injury At open mat on Sunday, a blue belt says "let's roll light." He goes like he's in a cage fight... On a...
