9 years of training. I know I should feel elated, but the rolls that day and since then just have me exhausted.
I talk about Jiu Jitsu all the time, so I figured I'd update the world of ARFCOM. 
I train at Gracie Barra here in SC. Thanks for all the support I received from this site, and the encouragement of people who train. |

Now I'm too old, tired and out of shape to start full time again. That's a great accomplishment, way to go. The Gracie's visit our school often for special sessions. |

Congratulations, Sir.
Would it be rude to ask what kind of injuries you dealt with along the way? not at all. Most injuries were my own fault - like 90% because I still believed I was superman and the rules didn't apply to me. What an idiot I was. Injuries that are common include injuries to the little toe, rib injuries, (pulling connective intercostal tissue) sore connective tissue in shoulder from refusing to tap like an idiot, those are my main ones. I see others with knee injuries, again because they were foolish and didn't tap. |

I trained 2/3 of my time about three times a week. Lately I went down to 2 x a week. but I never took a break. |

Do you wear American flag 80's style baggy work out pants and ask if anyone wants to take a roundhouse kick to the face while you're wearing those bad boys?

Great way to make new friends also. But my main training came from Gracie Barra. |
