the more things change the more they play the same

The last couple classes have been good.

Technically, this material should be review for me, but BJJ has a much greater focus on the finer points of positions and submissions than my previous instruction, so it's been very productive.

I'm getting comfortable on the mat again and lasting longer in rolling every day.

I'm not going to pains-takingly restate what is really basic material, but the focus and tone of this class are fixing problems.

More to follow.

Back, again

Well, I found an AM brazilian jiu-jitsu group I can make even with my odd hours and my ankle is deemed sufficiently regenerated for training so I'm back on the mat.

First class was yesterday, we went over kesa escapes and kesa maintenance. Stuff that should have been review, but when you get it straight from the BJJ tree it's a better product and I corrected some flaws.

The new group seems very chill and has a good atmosphere. I'm pretty psyched to keep attending.

Back again

Been out of action awhile. Fucked up an ankle.

I'm back and I start a new BJJ class on Monday. I hope it marks the end of my perpetual newbie streak
