Saw the meet videos on FB. Congrats. Looks like fun
Thanks man. It was fun. Next up is the Revolution tournament March 2nd. It’s a much bigger tournament and a lot of people from our academy are competing so it should be a great time.

Proving Grounds BJJ Tournament, Auburn WA
I competed in the 195 masters class. There was only me and one other guy in my division so I had three matches scheduled all against the same guy. The first match went great for me I submitted him with an Americana in about a minute and a half. The second match he submitted from my side control pressure, and he passed on our third match. So I won my division. It was a lot of fun and I can not wait to compete again. Video of my matches are on my facebook. Next up is the Revolution tournament March 2nd.

Good class, worked arm bar drills. I opted not to roll because I strained my trap and lat on my right side on the axle deads Sunday. Still a good night.

Pretty good noon time class drilled a bunch and got a roll in. I'm glad the trap and lat issue pretty much resolved itself. I got an adjustment Monday which helped a lot. My back is crazy tight right now and apparently that's pulling a high rib out of place in addition to the muscle strain. I've been foam rolling morning and night since Sunday which is also helping. I think I need to get back into the practice of foam rolling on a regular basis, I've gotten away from it lately.

Great open mat session. Got some decent rolls in and spent some time drilling takedowns with a blue belt there. Very fun and productive day.
Any advice on finding a good chiropractor? I’m really starting to lean toward trying one out
I highly recommended chiropractic adjustments. I also recommended getting an inversion table, they do wonders. As for choosing the chiropractor, I don’t really know. One of my best friends is a chiropractor so I go to him.

Great open mat this morning! Got a lot of real good rolls in, felt like a productive day. I’ve got the Revolution tournament next Saturday so I won’t be lifting at all this week. After the tourney I’m looking forward to lifting on a regular basis again. With work and bjj I just haven’t been able to squeeze it in and recover properly lately. I’m going to figure out how to fix this.

Revolution BJJ Tournament, Tacoma WA
Had another great time. Won my first two matches with lapel chokes and got caught in an arm bar in the finals. I'm real happy with 2nd place. There were five in my division this time which was much better than last time. Can't wait to do it again.

That’s pretty awesome Ed. You haven’t been doing this that long either and you’re tearing it up.

Yeah man thanks! It’s a blast! My next for sure tournament is June 1st. There’s one April 20th but it’s about 3 hours away, not sure if I’ll go or not. Especially because I’m thinking about a strongman show April 13th.

Great class tonight! At the end of the night I earned two more stripes on my white belt, so got three stripes now. I’m feeling pretty good right now.
