Jiu-Jitsu

I was first exposed to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu when Royce Gracie was featured in the first UFC in 1993. I I could understand was this little guy would take clearly bigger stronger guys down to the ground and then he would win.  Over and over again against people representing other martial arts, Gracie kept winning. Then BJJ was offered at UCLA and I took it there and then at the Rickson Gracie Academy where I got my blue belt, year ago. I got distracted by teaching and dating and traveling since then, but BJJ was always in there somewhere and I something regret not sticking with it (however, I am not sure that's how it's appropriate to view the past as me then was different from me now). Now at 50 years old I am going to Evolve in Ventura. Already a sprained left thumb, a sprained AC joint, and a broken big toe, and neck pains. I hope to not add any more injuries to that list as I keep going and having fun and staying in shape.
