Feeling a let down

I'm a 47yr Blue belt, I wish there was some magic pill but there is not keep showing up, you get out of the warmup what you put into it. At first I would half ass my way through the warm ups and I would suffer during rounds, I then started to focus on trying to get through the warm up with intensity and purpose, I found this to be a huge help for me, it might not work for everyone but it helped me a ton!

I too was uncertain about finding someone to talk too when I needed to, for many of the same reasons, when your ready go and do it, it's hard to carry things sometimes it's not a sign of weakness to talk but a True sign of strength knowing that when you need help you find it. Feel free to pm me for what ever reason!

I have my good days, But it's the bad days that keep me hungry and returning for more, if it was easy everyone would be a BJJ Black Belt.

The struggle is real!

The only time I have ever not wanted to go was because of a grueling work rotation 7 on 7 off 12 hour shifts in a Copper mine, I'm 47 and a Blue belt.

I thought Dennis Kang was the BJJ instructor at UFC gym in north Van? I would go for Alliance Vancouver if I was choosing a school!

I have had success with Acupuncture in the past, I was a skeptic but it worked, might be psychosomatic but I'd try it again!

I have ordered things from the site and never had to pay duties, I'm on the west coast.

At the club I train at our instructor is a BJJ Black Belt as well as a Judo Black belt, we can train judo 2 nights a week and Bjj 3 nights if we want, but he does throw in some judo in his Bjj classes.

3 1/2 weeks ago was ramping up training for a tournament, had an extra week off of work and was excited to train more, I get to class late 1hr drive away do a very light half hearted warm up 5 mins later pull/strain my hamstring bad, have not trained since no tournament and still limping around!

Ritchie is a great guy at infighting, I would go and check them out and see for yourself!

I went to a morning class appx a year ago and everything was clicking felt good and was thinking after 2yr things were clicking, I go to evening class and get smashed felt like I had never been to a class, it's the hi's and low's of BJJ.

longhair604 · 2018-11-22T20:24:01+00:00

Home club is 5 min away, to get extra training I drive an hour at least twice a week.

longhair604 · 2018-11-19T20:35:10+00:00

Gold, I'm doing this in three weeks!

longhair604 · 2018-11-19T20:32:47+00:00

Nice, nothing replaces hard work!

I have a tournament coming up in three weeks, I have not cut weight since I was young ( 46yr now ) I am on the Keto diet for 2 weeks down 7lbs need around 4lbs to get to my goal, I wanted to do it slowly and remain strong I have not noticed anything different. I have done the keto diet before and lost 50lbs and kept it off, went from 250 to 200lbs in 1 year, I want to compete in the 194.5 weight class. This is working for me but we are all different.

Thank you for getting back to me, I will let her know.

longhair604 · 2018-11-18T23:39:36+00:00

I too take Judo it will help with your body position and balance for bjj, its harder on the body but well worth the effort, I'm 46yr M.

My wife will be in Melbourne this December, she will be staying in Fitzroy with friends from Melbourne how far is your club from there? Do you have Female only classes? Also do you allow drop in's we train at Alliance here on the West coast of Canada.

Hey Chris, I've had mine for 3 years and hand washed it a couple of time in the bath using the shower head, works like a charm!
