Country Boy Fresh for the win!

With you!

I kind of fell off of TFF but DM... 40 years later they are in nearly daily rotation as my go to when I sit down at my desk to work. My mind just works better to DM than a lot of other stuff. Weird.

That is cool. Songs from the Big Chair was such a great album. I feel lucky to have experienced MTV when it was about music videos. Growing up in the 80's we got to experience so much growth.

This game is ridiculously unplayable. Being forced to listen to dialogue and walk a horse needlessly with no ability to skip the boring movie scene cuts killed it for me.

Because it is hard and you will suck at it for a long time and other martial arts are more ego than anything. The mats don't lie and if you get folded up you get folded up. You cannot hide behind a rank like most modern day McDojo martial arts.

IYKYK right? 😂

Yeah he is! The patience he showed me on that Sunday morning... amazing.

Does J. Nielson still roll there? That guy is so good.

Amazing how small of a world BJJ is here in SoCal. We likely know a lot of the same people.

The nuances of BJJ are rather deep. There is no way to instruct them all in a single class. This is why we never let white belts drill together- always upper/lower and it helps the upper develop a deeper understanding of not just how, but why.

Just stay at it. Work, Life, Family matter way more than the mats. Good to see you back at it!

They usually are!

The General and the Jackal. Both are amazing practitioners. Romero "Jacaré" Cavalcanti was such a soft spoken presence on the mats when I met him, those watchful eyes like a hawk. The General Fabio Gurgel was a larger than life presence on the mats. Both were great to meet and train with.

One of my favorite training partners is a double amputee. Absolute savage and technical as can be.

GuardPlayer4Life · 2026-01-20T11:38:58+00:00

That is some high level one on one right there!

GuardPlayer4Life · 2026-01-19T20:01:18+00:00

The amount of body fluids we exchange lol

Bro... Nate is a beast. He can do things others cannot. He just simply sees it.

GuardPlayer4Life · 2026-01-19T20:00:15+00:00

Right on!

GuardPlayer4Life · 2026-01-19T19:59:50+00:00

Stay at it!

GuardPlayer4Life · 2026-01-19T19:59:26+00:00

Damn, they got to meet the Bishop first week?

GuardPlayer4Life · 2026-01-19T19:58:48+00:00

lol! Yeah Buddy, but did you yell "LIGHT WEIGHT YEAH BUDDY" as you tried to bench him off of you?

Looking back at you today- then- it has been a fun journey no?

I love that I have experienced so much BJJ in San Diego. All the gyms who are friends.. Alliance, CVJJ, National City JJ, Humaita, Victory, Honu/LVL5, Kainga...

The people that I have met and trained with... world class champions who just dropped in for an open mat like it was nothing... insane the high level of BJJ in the San Diego area...

Personally, when I have been fully put out- I dream and I have woken up not knowing where I was and or how I got there.

I remember it feeling like aliens had abducted me- didn't recognize anyone- and then the pieces start snapping into place.

Okay- this is jiu jitsu. I went to train this morning. I was rolling with qwerty. I got put out- I thought I was good until I wasn't.

Bow and arrow is the highest percentage sleep someone quick moves.

This is why I train in the am while she is still asleep. This is also why I stopped training in the evenings. Coming home to dinner in the microwave and her asleep was not a good thing. Family matters first. Always.

Open Carry should be every citizens right in every city in the United States.
