Best reason to stay of the drink on a Friday for a long time.....will still probably gas half way through first class :(

Glad to hear....have to say turning up for first lesson in a church hall, loads of elderly women and one other man. Made me wonder if I'm doing the right thing!

Half way through the class all I...

Im 38 and things are begining to catch up :(
First thing I did was cut out lifting heavy and start higher reps - lower weights. This has definitely improved tendon problems (I was really stuggling...

Hope it works out for you.

First of, anyone who thinks strength is not a big factor in Jits is delusional.

Technique > Strength, but when two guys of equal technique meet strength and endurance are usually the deciding...

Was my first big live event since joining the Griphouse and had a great night...even took the missus and she loved it!

If he turns up again I hope to god he doesn't read this forum!
Think he will need to be slightly more humble and learn to relax if he turns up again.
Sad thing is he probably went away thinking...

Was actually thinking if he reads this forum and appears at training again, those sleeves will be full of some mysterious powders to blind or debilitate me...

Have to add some more... I actually rolled with him.....here goes.

Me: Can you please unroll your sleeves, I like using sleeve control.

Him: No problem sorry, we actually roll them like that so...

Serious question.
What are u doing to cut 3Kg before Sat? I have been looking at getting a lightweight Gi rather than cut weight!
Pretty sure if you can manage 3Kg for Sat I could manage 1Kg. I...
