Tap, Tap, Tap, said the white belts to the blue

After over a year off the mat I went back last night. It was thrilling to get to train and to roll again after so long. The place was small but adequate and the guys were pretty much ego free ! We did some drills – I felt totally out of shape – football doesn’t do much for your BJJ !!!

 

Everyone was a White belt so I felt a little apprehensive about rolling after so long, didn’t want to look like a fool …. I knew I had to get my ego out of the way and I was right. Started rolling with the armbar king and got tapped – my muscles just had no strength and simply gave in. Then came the next guy he was bigger then me and loved the top side control. He struggled and managed to just put a kimura on me – it was starting to come back. Had a couple more fights where I stood my ground defended well and even started attacking. I was beginning to remember but my lack of stamina was letting me down. With everyone being a white belt I felt bad I got beat but hey after a year I think I learnt a lesson – whatever happens you need to keep rollong or you’ll simply lose it.

For Food and Shelter

Cool

 

I feel my stamina will come back in a week or so – but I think I need to do some work on everything else – positionally I did ok  but my escapes were lacking the finese I once had – back to the mats methinks.
