I’ve been able to train Sunday and Tuesday so far this week despite a lingering cough from the cold I had the last couple weeks. Haven’t been back to Judo yet because it is just a bit too much. Hopefully Thursday.

Four guys, sorry. I’m on the far left.

Funny story: there are three guys in this photo. Two are jiu jitsu world champions. The other one is me.

Good for you! Competition should be a reflection of your love for jiu jitsu. That’s what Tom Deblass says anyways. I don’t think he’s right about everything but he’s right about that lol.

Hey I live in Canada and don’t carry anything but a pen knife. That’s a tool not a weapon. I can understand smaller people carrying something I guess. I don’t think Americans understand how unusual their gun culture appears to people from other countries. That is not meant to be political, just an observation. It is very…

I was in DC for work and just getting over a cold but Wednesday morning I attended a class in Washington. Trained Thursday but my cough came back with a vengeance. Taught kids class yesterday and about to head out to teach kids class and get a few rolls in if my cough stays away. I am post viral so not contagious but still…

I have stuck to my calories for the last two days (first two days really since I fell off the wagon uickly this year.) I competed Saturday for the first time in a year. 2-1 in an open belt absolute. Beat a purple belt 18-4 and submitted some poor white belt in 30 seconds maybe? Lost 0-2 to an old training partner who has…

Tuesday January 2. BJJ and Judo. First day back on MFP as well.

My name is Craig. I just got my black belt in BJJ (Renzo lineage,) and I have my blue belt in Judo. I have competed in BJJ at every belt level but mostly local tournaments and only a few times per belt. I have only done shiai in Judo. I like to think I am proof that any schmuck can get a black belt eventually. I teach…

I just got my black belt last month. My weight has crept up over the past couple years and I am using MFP To get back on track (New Years resolution.)

Hey MFP BJJ folks: I made a short series of videos on turtle attacks w/ a 6th degree Carlson BB while was at my old gym. Just thought I would share in case they help anyone. http://youtu.be/N7U8DQ4vhCc This was maybe 3 or 4 years ago now. I am a purple now and train at a Renzo affiliate. That triangle seems to be the most…

The MFP app puts it at something like 960 calories for an hour of BJJ. I don't buy it. I think that is probably accurate if you are actually rolling hard for 60 minutes - but who does that. Our classes are 2 hours. We drill one hour and roll one hour (7 minutes on, one minute off,) and I plug it into MFP as one hour. I…

GREAT WORK! Can I ask, what throw? I am newish to Judo and would like to attack more throws in BJJ. but I haven't put much thought into it yet...

I'm 38. I am a purple belt in BJJ (6 years,) and a yellow belt in Judo (1 year.) Two nights/week I do BJJ and judo back to back for a total of about 3.5 - 4 hours training each night. The I roll for two hours on Sunday. 10 hours total/week. I haven't competed in BJJ for a year, but would like to do it again. I have trained…

I have trained MMA, but never fought. I have been a training partner to UFC, Bellator and Strikeforce fighters. I did it because I wanted to test my jiu jitsu (I'm a purple belt, but mostly did MMA when I was white/blue.) I stopped because of time commitments, but also because I am a professional writer and do not need to…

For something different, I am going to recommend the Gracie Bullyproof curriculum. It is a program you teach to your own kids. It is designed for parents with no martial arts experience. The DVDs are a bit pricey, but it is much cheaper than tuition at a club and it is loads of fun. The Gracie brothers are great teachers…

Here is a great Judo book. Has also been released in shortened form under the title of "Falling Hard." http://www.amazon.ca/The-Pyjama-Game-Journey-into/dp/1845133498 http://www.amazon.ca/Falling-Hard-Journey-into-World/dp/1590307151/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1359812174&sr=1-1 And this is just a terrific book that…

I got my purple belt a year and a half ago from Robson Moura. I now train at a Renzo Gracie affiliate. I recently got my yellow in Judo, too. Also wrestled in school a LONG time ago. It was actually a guy in my BJJ class who directed me to MFP after he lost 30lbs. I lost 70lbs in my first 1.5 years of BJJ - from nearly 300…

I am a purple belt in BJJ. I took up judo last year and have my yellow belt. I used to train more MMA, including muay thai training for four years. I also wrestled in school for 6 years. Happy to meet other people involved in martial arts and looking to improve their fitness. Currently training about 10 hours/week. I was…
