RE: Musings from the BJJ Gi #28, lesson 40, stripe 2!
Congrats @davidrichards! Wears those stripes with pride. I take it you're doing the Gracie Combatives. They're a fantastic foundation for your jiu-jitsu journey. Happy rolling!
Thanks man! Yeah it's the Gracie Combatives curriculum, all self defence BJJ, which is all I'm really interested in it for.
Good to hear. I would still highly recommend competing to further hone your skills. I wrote a post about it not too long ago. There happens to be a great tournament coming to Melbourne on October 7th. It's by Grappling Industries. Give them a look.
Nice! Yeah I'll definitely consider competing again at some point. This is my third pass at BJJ training, starting from the start again haha. I used to compete way back in my early 20's (2001-2004), but at 37 I'm a bit more apprehensive to get my body mangled. I defeinitly need to refine my grasp of the basic a bit more before I consider anything extra I think.
