BJJ life in the uncomfort zone.
After almost four years, I still understand very little of everything Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has to offer. This year, one aspect finally fell into place: there is often a reason why a technique doesn’t work. Or several reasons. I want to tell you a bit about my lack of reliable guard passes and what I’ve learned since deciding to do something about it.
I spent a week in Pärnu doing BJJ in a multi-national, chill environment. I laughed, I cried, BJJ Globetrotters changed my life a bit.
I'm still rolling, though often starting lower than before. I've also become a bit less bad at BJJ without really knowing it.
A non-binary fat disabled hapless BJJ white belt has returned to the mat after being vaccinated. What could possibly go wrong?
A semi-wistful reflection on doing stuff more than thinking about stuff you would like to do. Also I’m still alive.
I still train, and try to improve very specific techniques for a change.
Gym reopens, local non-binary is forced to decide on stuff.
My "exercise" "regime" for pandemic times is going better than I suspected.
Oh hello, devastating pandemic. We would be happy to see the back of you.
When you learn something at BJJ and you're not sure how.
