A fantastic word I discovered which certainly comes in handy during bjj is Proprioception, which is the bodys mysterious ability to locate its own limbs even in complete darkness. #bjj
Learned today that I was reading my weight tables for the local #bjj tourneys wrong and as of Monday or thereabouts, I've officially made weight for the tournament I hope to compete in come October 14th.
This is a big one for me because, even though it's a small championship, it's the same event as my very first tournament a year ago. Excited to step out on those mats again.
Gonna get some extra drill/roll time in today with some of the folks at the gym who'd like to compete. I'm trying to get as much mat time in as I can before I start another round of traveling.
I doubt I'll be able to train while I'm on the road. That's probably gonna be good for my injuries, though.
Holiday open mats are the best. Rode the #xr150 on a 60 mile round trip down a rural highway to get to the gym and left a few pounds of sweat on the mats. #nogi#bjj is my favorite for sure. It was good to see the crew again after a week away. Happy Tuesday, y'all!
Created an Instagram account so I could keep up with my #bjj buddies and all it shows me is half nekkid women and brazilian memes. The UI is confusing as hell. I am finally out of touch.
Bom dia e good #tzag, #fediverse! Cafe da manha agora and then we start training at noon for "90 minutes, kind of." Fully prepared to get my ass kicked today. The pao de queijo will make me strong. #brasil#bjj
Up a bit too late again but I'll sleep in a little before work. Was playing more #cod#mobile. I'll spare the screenshots. Still having a great time. Sadly I was invited to another match right when I was ready to rack out. Hopefully that player will be on tomorrow.
Gym went well today. My knee feels more stable but I'm hyper aware of it. Pretty sure I tore my meniscus again. It's healthy enough right now for the trip to #brazil next week. Excited to see what I can learn from a new #bjj gym.
I got absolutely bodied by a cold for about a week (took covid tests; all negative). Haven't trained in like 10 days. Tonight's my first night back on the mats and it's gonna be rough.

I took this picture a few weeks ago in anticipation of the finale of #AbuDhabiGrandSlam, which begins today. Best of luck to all the participants! I wish I was there with you. May the spirit of Jiu-Jitsu 🥋 guide you as it has guided me.
