General Update, 10/3/08

Yaaaaaawn.

I’m getting used to rolling with the guys at Rocha BJJ. Everyone is decidedly less explosive than Alive Academy’s players, but it’s certainly not because they can’t be, I don’t think. People play a much more controlling, slower-paced game here. It’s a good place for me to be, and from the looks of things, it’s one of the most competitively successful teams in Northern California. Hot. And we’ve been working lots and lots of guard passes lately, which is exactly what I need to work on the most.

I’ve been eating a lot of dairy, lately. Whole milk, ice cream, lots of cheese. Mmmmm. 

I’m going to end this post with a nugget of wisdom from some 16-year-old kid on a stupid MMA forum. Thankfully, he doesn’t go to Rocha BJJ.

“krav maga is for survival JJ is for domination. I would rather dominate then just survive. of course if I get in a fight I am going to bend ur fingers or bit u but I do that at JJ tourneys any was lol. I think JJ is the best rape defense for women because of its ground work. before I stared jiu-jitsu I was nothing, fat, week, scared, goofy. Strength/cardio training BJJ and a little boxing has transformed me into a monster mentally and physically. I have gone form the prey to the predator. If you think Krav Maga is more effective then jiu-jitsu rise up cuz I want soul, I want to eat your hart, and kill your children. Don’t deny the power.

Jiu-Jitsu does not want robots! Jiu-Jitsu wants killers! Jiu-Jitsu wants to build indestructible men! Dangerous and violent men with no fear!”

Catchy.
