This Blog is intended to help me maintain focus on keeping BJJ in balance with my Kids, Job, Hobbies, and Financial Obligations; in general My Life outside the Academy; to Continually Grow as a BJJ Practitioner and Training Partner; to help me stay true to the principal of staying positive and healthy, and staying away from Politics, and Gossip; and Last, though certainly not least; to ROLL!

Pages

As I have kept numerous journals over my BJJ Career, you will notice that this Blog may not seem chronological. Though that is in my opinion the beauty of keeping a BJJ Journal. Just because I wrote it down on a specific day, doesn't mean that I fully understood it at that time, or that my understanding of it at that time could not be reviewed and improved upon as my journey continues.

So please bear with me; as you may see things that are years old, or it may be the most recent occurrence.

Regardless, whatever is posted has relevance to me at the time of the posting, whether in review, reassessing or revising.

Less is More!!

Recently I have been rolling more frequently for longer durations of "Live" or should we say "Active" Rolling.
I say Active because recently my training partners & I have been rolling with intent to execute specific movements or techniques; and though the rolls are still 80-90% effort, the results is specifically targeted for each of us, one person focusing on executing the movement or technique, while the other focuses on countering. This has been a great addition to our rolling paradigm, upon the completion of an "active" roll, we discuss in detail the positions & movements we experienced, recreate them statically, and evaluate them.

So Less Time on the Mat, more Frequently, has been producing the results of More time "actively" rolling, more small detail exposure & comprehension, and lastly; just a heck of a lot more FUN!!!
