Jiu-Jitsu is simple! If you’re on top, pass the guard. If you’re on the bottom, don’t let the other guy pass your guard. If you hold the closed guard, sweep... The problem is that I have a very hard time passing the guard, and on the other side, the younger, faster students pass my guard immediately. If my opponent isn’t much lighter than me, I’m not able to sweep him. A lot of things are still not working. I learned that again in yesterday’s class. The positive part is that I’m aware of it. "It's A Long Way To The Top If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll...."
Recently, I started taking creatine. I don’t know yet if it helps. We’ll see. Yesterday, before class, I taped my fingers for the first time. That night, my fingers were less sore, so I think I’ll keep doing it. During the night, I got up and stretched my shoulders a little, so I could go back to sleep with less pain, if not without any. After class, in the locker room, some of the older students said we’re all masochists, because everybody counts which part of their body hurts, and yet we keep coming. Yep, that’s true.
When I attend class regularly, at least three times a week, my whole body feels under tension. I like that feeling. I’m looking forward to the next class.
