Carpe Jugulum
March 2, 2010
It’s been a while,and while I have my doubts that those who once read these meager meandering diatribes will be overly inclined to do so now,I felt like a return to the blogoshpere. Now considering it’s more than a year since my last post,I could either do a lengthy (and overdue) catch up post,or i could take it as a clean break and move on…yeah fuck it,I’m moving on.
While this blog shall continue to encompass my eclectic and no doubt verbiose observations,it’s also going to veer more and more in the direction of that beautiful and artful game of strangulation and joint destruction otherwise known as Brazilian Jui Jitsu. This grappling based martial art has been enjoying more and more of my attentions in recent months,even with training options for my chosen branch being limited. As it is,a few of us manage to congregate in a local gym on a weekly basis and take advantage of the “MMA Zone” and learn as best we can from each other along with whatever tutorial resources i can spend hours studying. Far from ideal,and i dread to think how many bad habits we’ll pick up in execution of technique,but for now I’m enjoying every single time Greg or Stephan make me tap with something i’ve shown them,or improvise and catch me with something unexpected. I glory in those split seconds that i can see and feel exactly how much they’re learning. Sure,I take pride in catching them with a Darce or Triangle or such like,not to mention my own renegade-plata that i’ve been meaning to video at some point,but it’s seeing my friends and de facto pupils improve that leaves a grin on my face.
Anyways,think this will do for now,so until next time folks
