it’s been awhile.
Hi is stopped updating this blog for about half a year!!!
but I figured I’d drop by to give a quick update, In the time between updates an awful lot has changed I now do not only the beginners MMA class but also the advanced and the sparring, my kick-boxing has gotten so so much better to the point where I can comfortably keep up with people far more experienced than myself, and my jiu-jitsu particularly my defence is now really quite good obviously still just a white belt but certainly a pretty good white belt.
also just this week I had a good competitive round with a professional fighter!!!
so yeah unsurprisingly when you’re constantly working at something you get an awful lot better at it in six months, hopefully I’ll be able to start working even harder at it once a get a car and can start training every day and going to later classes!!

Thoughts After Competing
"Are you going to change your Jiu-Jitsu game in light of your first competition?"
Yes, but not in the way you may expect. Some people I've heard answer this talk about developing a better game plan and drilling specific weaknesses, holes, or gaps in their game. As there are some benefits to this, I don't agree with this in some aspects. From experience in security and law enforcement, chasing the last trend typically does not produce favorable results. If you lose to an arm bar in a competition, and for the next six months you work on armbar defense only, you'll probably get choked out next time around. Some other responses will focus on the intensity of their game. Me? In the months of training leading up to a tournament, I realized a seed was planted, and it started to take root. It was a want that I needed to weed out. I began to care too much and try too hard. So how is my game going to change? I'm going to remove the game altogether. I'm going to focus on learning, flowing, and having fun. I forgot why I got into Jiu-Jitsu in the first place. I didn't start to chase medals, stripes, or belts. I didn't get into it to work up a podium or ranking bracket. I didn't begin to try to best people or prove myself to anyone. And if I had started doing any of that, I would stop. I want to return to the roots of my Jiu-Jitsu journey in the garage. Why just train for 5 minutes? I miss the 30 minutes or more. The 5-7 hours we'd manage to put in during a holiday. [You can insert sprint vs. marathon metaphor here, you won't catch me running either] If my perspective change hinders my promotions or disappoints my teammates, mentors, or coaches, so be it. Guess what? I don't practice Jiu-Jitsu for them, and the color of my belt doesn't define me.
Before I competed, a friend told me a bit about his experience. His takeaway was about handling the adrenaline dump you get when you step out on those mats to face an unknown adversary in front of strangers. And this is true; there is some anxiety and adrenaline response. But it is nothing I haven't encountered before. I grew up doing martial arts competitions, and I distinctly remember one where I was the only kid in my division, so I was moved up to spar and compete against older and higher-ranked kids. Then in my late teens and early adulthood, I had been in combat- shot at, near explosions, etc., and in various life-and-death situations, whether it be my life or someone else's. I've been in situations requiring me to do CPR and take further actions to save someone's life—the adrenaline I can handle.
The other argument for competing is it boosts your Jiu-Jitsu, going out and testing yourself against some random. Again, I get that. But I know different methods return similar results. And the other ways can be more fun. Seminars, for example, are one. Now, don't hear what I'm not saying. I love my coaches, and there isn't a class that goes by that I don't soak up something new. But having a guest instructor or a few hours with someone out of your school just hits differently. I often find myself in awe, not necessarily by the technique taught, but by seeing another human perform Jiu-Jitsu at that level, with a different upbringing. I'd like to think if my head coach went to their school, there'd be some bright-eyed white belt in awe by them too. The other way is to drop in other schools. Now, admittedly, I haven't gotten to do this as much as I'd like, but I have dropped in another school or two, and it's rewarding. The first time, I was still pretty fresh. Still mostly training out of a garage, I popped into a school where a friend of mine was teaching. The next time I had some wear and tear on my belt, which was almost more nerve-racking than my first competition. I was the highest-ranked white belt in the class, and imposter syndrome set in hard. Was I good enough to stand in front of all these dudes in their gym? Long story short, I held my own, and the imposter syndrome faded.
With all that being said. Will I celebrate the promotions of my teammates or even my own? Of course, I will. Promotions are still an accomplishment regardless of your motivation. Will I roll with those who prefer competition Jiu-Jitsu? Why wouldn't I? There are plenty of folks I enjoy rolling with despite their love for the competition scene. And as far as the competition scene, I'm all for the community. The overall vibe of a Jiu-Jitsu competition was way better than the traditional martial art competitions I grew up around.
Anyways.
If you train and haven't competed, don't let this deter you- you may love it, as many do. And I'm not saying I'll never compete again, but I just want to chill for now.
Thanks for reading.

Update, 14 weeks of BJJ.
week 13, in the no-gi session I did not tap anyone but in three rolls I did only get tapped three times against two pretty good guys and one newer guy (though against the newer guy I probably could have toughed through his shabby kimura but I didn’t want to risk it) the just stand up/turtle when in danger approach has been doing a great job of keeping me out of really bad positions a lot of the time, I believe at least I mean that and not just rolling into triangles has probably helped, after having a conversation with a mate at the gym it seems that the busses are a lot more consistent then I previously thought them to be, which means that it may be possible for me to do later classes and get the bus back.
In the Gi class I was able to not be tapped for the first time and also tap one of the people I rolled with (though this time it was only two people for whatever reason), I hit a standing guillotine (though it did come from the ground and I stood up to finish it and allow myself to shoot a takedown If it failed) I also hit a rather nice takedown against the wall, all in all quite a good session.
Week 14, in the no-gi session we ended up going for 4 rounds instead of 3, and I ended up getting tapped 6 times, though in the first three I only got tapped once which was pretty good, in my first roll I did quite well escaping an triangle and staying in mount for probably about 2 minutes, in my second roll I did decent got tapped once but also escaped back control a few times and go to my opponents back as well as to side control (and I tried a cheeky buggy), in the third roll we mostly just flowed which I think shows that I’m getting a lot better as I can go light with someone who’s also going light (aka that I’m not a spaz), in the fourth roll I went with coach and got tapped 5 times, one of the bloody hurt (it was I believe a face crank), also I’m going to try and go to an mma event sometime soon, probably October something, should be good.
didn’t end up doing a Gi session, had some work commitments to deal with.

5 stripe white belt - growing with your grading
the notion that you are always a white belt or you should keep the white belt mentality regardless of how long you have been training a martial art is somewhat relevant but also a bit daft.
on one hand a white belt is new, you walk into a jiujitsu gym regardless of doing other martial arts (like myself) or not and you quickly (VERY!) quickly realise that all means nothing (well, not nothing but very little depending what other arts you did).
a white belt knows nothing so is open to learning whats infront of them, but! they are usually always too keen to "know stuff", so are always looking for short cuts to get better, short cuts to retain knowledge, short cuts on how to get more taps.
meanwhile i like the notion of growing with your grading, why do we get graded ? some would say belts are irrelevant and only really came along because western people needed something to self acknowledge their progress, whatever reason, i like having a physical representation of progress, that could be new skills, new defences, a new stripe or a new belt, we dont chase the belts but being handed them along our journey is pretty cool.
as a new blue belt i feel more like a 5 stripe white belt, i feel like the knowledge i have is useful for me but so small in the grand scheme of things. Do i know a few things ? yep, do i know how to finish a few flashy moves ? yep, do i still do stupid stuff and get caught in a triangle or RNC, yep, and thats the fun of it all, the constant learning and progress
