After watching the 2008 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu International Gi/No Gi Grappling Challenge this weekend, I have become inspired to work on my game and compete in the next tournament. This means months of preparation- hardcore training, researching.. basically I will have to live, breathe and eat (?) BJJ for the next few months. I think its worth a shot, a chance to prove to myself and to others that I can succeed at something this physically challenging.
I have become pretty strong in the past few months because of my powerlifting, which I will definetely continue to do. It has helped me a lot with jiu jitsu and has been a major contributor in the shapely butt department :)
Wish me luck guys!
