I probably will never win Mundials as a brown or black belt. Too many little chickies who've been doing this since age 6, who are now 17 and stomping blues and purples into the dust. Maybe I'll win Masters World or something... but even if I don't, I will still achieve excellence as an attorney (that's 6-8 hrs/day) and as a jitsuka (another 6 hours a day) and my poor husband ... LOL... he'll get an adequate (??) wife with the other hours, whether I'm sleeping or not :)Georgettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705282002904234217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530485715481805042.post-40996410720623783672010-08-13T10:14:47.099-07:002010-08-13T10:14:47.099-07:00YES! I identify completely with what you're sa...YES! I identify completely with what you're saying here, Chris. There are probably a lot of people training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu who start a little later in life (say, late 20s), who have the drive and ambition to be world-class, but who have decided to balance jiu-jitsu with other priorities in their lives. The question is, can these people, achieve excellence in jiu-jitsu? I definitely believe so - your commitment to achieve black belt to me marks a commitment to excellence.<br /><br />Butterfly guard is tricky - that has just barely started to click for me after countless reviews, and it still feels shaky. Let us know if you have any breakthroughs :).SkinnyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828780498797612518noreply@blogger.com
