#picture of me
Oh yeah my hair is short, messy, and purple now, which everyone knows is an antenna for creativity.
Photo from the end of training yesterday. One of my favorite rashguards. :)
I didn’t finish the triangle; he successfully hid his arm and I transitioned into an omoplata and attempted to sweep from there, which devolved into a scramble.
Overall, that day of training was tough for me mentally. I felt frustrated that I couldn’t understand all of the mechanics of the nogi berimbolo. I had good rounds with some fellow blue belts and got a guillotine on my training buddy, but mentally, I fixated on what I did wrong: getting to closed guard and finding no subs or sweeps for four minutes; getting berimbolo’d repeatedly; making wrong moves in scrambles.
Some training days are just like that and I think it’s a good thing to recognize that feeling frustrated is the first step toward improving. Action shots where I look cool are awesome. Seeing this one definitely lifted my mood. But my favorite part of BJJ isn’t hitting moves perfectly. It’s constantly trying to do something better.
