My first BJJ session

[ReD_mIst]

Finally made it to a BJJ lesson tonight. Matt I went to Manchester BJJ

Good session, with lots of different levels. There are some very interesting differences between the gi and no gi techniques. Overall it was fun... should be a regular thing... but I'm still not buying a gi.

I would be happy to be given a gi or sponsored with one :)

[spenna]

I don't think it happened .... this is a troll job

[TRIBULUS]

[Duchman]

tribulus = hero.

[Ben]

I don't think aaron's build is accounted for in the standard bjj sizing

[ReD_mIst]

What size is that.... A2?

[david5]

that's an american A2, yes

[ReD_mIst]

ah, American sizes.... funny how the American sizes are bigger in clothes, but smaller in groin guards.

[spenna]

I think you will need an A3 top but A2 legs

[ReD_mIst]

Can you get them seperate like that?

[spenna]

Some places do, I remeber Mick at Pride and glory selling a pair like that.

[spenna]

I might have a pair of A2 pants you can have, I'll check when I get home tonight

[TRIBULUS]

I may have an a3 jacket you can have, on the condition that you post a photo wearing it with your instructor and you making the traditional BJJ thumbs up. :)

[boxingbrit]

lol, i think its good that you have admitted you went. Its the first step to confronting your problem. Well done

[Ben]

I might have a pair of A2 pants


who did you steal them from?

[spenna]

not you fatty

[spenna]

I have an A2 pair of pants and a A3 top you can have

[ReD_mIst]

it's all getting a bit serious here!!!

Spenna. I would like to take you up on the offer of a loan until a) I manage to get my own gi through nefarious methods or b) I lose interest.

Ill drop you a text and see when we can next hook up and I can join the pyjama club.... there isn't some kind of initiation I should know about, is there?

I am training BJJ tonight and may get a picture taken with Steve, to prove I was training BJJ!

[spenna]

No initiation, just happy you have found the joys of BJJ.

I can give them to Dave on Sunday if you want

[ReD_mIst]

Might be a plan... what's happening Sunday that I am not involved in?

[Ben]

LOL I remember when I could fit into an A2 to :(

[spenna]

Will pop it in the car for you so I have it

[ReD_mIst]

[Jogs D]

Nothing wrong with a pink gi - Gene LeBell wears a pink gi all the time... :)
