9 months later...i'm born? make that, i'm back, and i plan to stay.

i tried bjj last year and i was able to attend just 9 sessions. the group has very good instructors and a very healthy and supportive learning environment. i've always wanted to start training again...

i hurled. or at least i felt nauseous during the warm-up doing the rolls. i tried to barf but nothing came out and that felt worse.

that was yesterday. the room was filled with a lot of attendees. i'm always amazed with the show of fluidity and strength.

a senior purple belt who's based abroad attended and his moves were first-rate. his years or even decades of experience show... he shared a move that could make your opponent tap out by making it difficult for him to breathe by pressing your body against his stomach with your hand on his back. and he made it look soooo simple. another cool move was the faucet from the north south position with your opponent's arms getting twisted.

i could feel a good ache all over my body today. i just hope i could quit hurling when i train or at least last longer before i need to... i'm off to day 2. training starts in an hour and a half.
