Just (re-)Signed up for BJJ..!!

Postby Masato » Tue Mar 17, 2015 3:05 pm

Hey all

I finally got the courage to get my ass back to class. Its been maybe 3+ years of being too busy/nursing injuries/making excuses....

But my body feels pretty good right now, all my injuries feel OK. Plus I recently discovered that the club my kid goes to has a LOT more options for classes every week than I thought, so it suddenly looks more possible to find a couple days a week to grab a session.

I'm older and stiff, not in the best of cardio, but I've been eating well and am at a healthy weight. Hopefully they don't have too many UFC goons to beat me up to bad, lol

I'm super excited but nervous too... the last time I tried to get back into training I realized I had basically forgotten 90% of whatever I used to know, and got injured in less than 2 months.

Any tips/advice are welcome. My plan is to take it slow and gentle, not expect too much - just for fun and exercise/wellness

The club doesn't have a website but I just found a blog:

http://lifevsjiujitsu.blogspot.ca/2014/ ... ening.html

He's a brown belt under 'Cobrinha' Rubens Charles Maciel... A young kid but at like 24 he built his own dojo, its quite impressive. Also his jits it really cool and more fluid than the styles I had previously learned, I think it will be fun.

There is a kid in my son's class who is 12 and is slaughtering his age group, someone to watch out for. I think he has a chick in the UFC but I am not sure, I may have met her yesterday I'll try to get more info.

^ no but I just looked it up, sounds cool

I am not looking for MMA though, I just want some casual BJJ. MMA training is brutal, man..!

The club I joined is 5 mins away and is super convenient. The last club I trained (Pura BJJ) was great, but was like 40+ minutes away and it was getting tiring/difficult, especially with rush hour etc. Parabellum is about half an hour each way with any traffic, maybe more.

We'll see how this goes, there is another school that opened very close... I should have checked it our before I made my choice but its my kid's team and they've been good to him so I like to support.

The universe is already conspiring against me, lol:

Was PSYCHED to go to class, had a shower, got the ol' gi out of the closet... and...... NO BELT!

WHERE THE FUCK IS MY BELT??? lol

Now I have to go buy a new super-stiff and ultra-bright noob white one that will keep coming undone every 3 minutes.

I guess that's karma though, I am really starting from the beginning again in many ways. Maybe this will help put me in my proper place lol

Just pissed I couldn't go on my first class back. Running out to FightPlanet this morning.
