But i have to look good for the guys, since no woman care for the size of the muscles. Well except if i was handsome like The Rock. :(



Another reason i prefer the gi these days is that it hides my chiselled, hulking physique. I really hate it when guys see my ripped muscles and instantly claim they lost because I'm too strong. :roll: :mrgreen:

I've done Tae Kwon do, some karate, Sambo, muay Thai and some kickboxing.

I did an '8 week Knightly combat course' which taught Medieval longsword fighting and dagger techniques, and some basic unarmed shit.

It was cool and I noticed that the ancient sword fighting footwork and techniques were not so different to Filipino machete, stick and knife techniques.

Had a grading tonight, got a stripe on my brown belt from Marcus Soares.

I used to do mostly no-gi before, but now I'm all about the gi. Mainly because I'm old and slow now. If i were to do no-gi again, the young'uns would run circles around me. lol

It's a fairly new gym. Instructor is a Nova Uniao brown belt. Honestly thought I would never roll again since it never fits my work schedule. But this place has late classes, so I can trane after work 8-)


Nice! I didn't know you trained, at least not regularly

I also had a 6-7 year layoff, I think more. Lost a lot of good years of training :( Its not easy doing BJJ in your 40's, we should support each other here lol

Last night I did really well, just slowed down my game and tried to use my jitz effectively and methodically rather than relying on any strength or speed/scrambling etc. Worked very well, I was able to control and decide a bunch of matches without really getting my heart/breathing up. Of course when it came time for the coach to watch I made some mistakes and got thumped, lol. Coach always seems to miss my best moments and witness my worst. That shouldn't bother me but it does :D

Now that summer is here I can do Saturday classes again, usually I teach Saturday mornings but not for the summer. This will be great because is means a potential of 3 classes per week, or if I miss one I can still make it up and get at least 2 per week.
