A Giant's Jiu Jitsu

Giant Jiu Jitsu

After the @alybjj seminar put on by @thalesblaso this past Saturday I took all day Sunday to just relax with my family. I woke feeling surprisingly good with no real aches or pains! As the day unfolded I absorbed everything I'd seen and practiced the day before. My very biggest takeaway was clearly seeing my path to Black Belt laid out before me. During the early morning sparring with a handful of upper belts I watched this giant of a fighter patiently control things. As I photographed the action I saw how he used his timing, size and strength in conjunction with very strategic planning on positioning himself. I've thought about how I want to progress further into BJJ for a while now. While I LOVE the "Flow Like Water" methods I've been exposed to they are tough for an old man who's also a beginner. I'll not stop trying to learn them, that's not what I am saying. I still want to move "like water" when I roll with folks, only sometimes water can come in the form of an implacable glacier.
