So as most of you know I'm road tripping with my family this week. I did take the time yesterday to train witih my old morning group at Precision Jiu-jitsu (6-8 AM 3 times a week - anyone interested?). I felt good and picked up a few new tricks and wasn't disappointed in my performance. I trained with a brown belt, purple belt and a 4 stripe blue belt, each one considerable bigger than me. The 4 stripe blue belt is about the same size as Wes and I held my own very well. I was not submmitted and got a few good positions. Wes, you are much much better than him. With the other two beasts I was not as fortunate, they both out weighed me by 50-70 lbs and they were good. Both employed the butt sit at the start a la Marcelo Garcia and I had no idea how to penetrate, similar to what I see from Seth and Dusty. They showed me a couple ways to beat it which I will try when I get back. Just takes reps obviously. Again, I was pleased but again realize how much work I need and how much mat time I need in order to improve. I'll be back on Monday.
Special shout out to Fabio too for competing at our age and dedicating himself to it. I like reading your Facebook updates on your training as I hope you do reading this blog.
