Big day tomorrow! Wish me luck!

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

So tomorrow at 10 am I will be belt testing for my blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I've been training for almost 2 years at least three times a week for my first belt promotion. The one thing I appreciate about Jiu jitsu is that when you earn a stripe or a belt, you deserve it. My academy is not a belt factory meant to keep people's morale and egos p to keep people in membership. I don't need or want that. In the two years I've been training I have seen people come and go, stat after me a far surpass me in rank. Which is a okay, it's a personal journey and I strive to get better every day.

So at 10 am i will be tested on certain defense, attacks, escapes, throws etc. I then will be put into a "shark tank" which is 20 minutes, broken into 2 minute increments(no breaks) where I literally get the shit kicked outta me. People much better than me will be trying to choke me unconscious, break my arms, tear my rotator cuff, etc etc etc. then if I pass these two tests I will earn my blue belt. I hope to update this thread tomorrow with a picture of me receiving my belt, not a cast.

Update: I live to fight another day. Here's some pictures of me getting thrown and getting my ass whipped by some tough dudes.

This is me with my Jiu jitsu mentor and favorite instructor professor Hans Thompson. He's calling me a big goofy bastard during the pic.

Good luck. Taking on any challenge outside of living and surviving takes stones. I'm sure your stones will see you through!

[Katastrophic]

We are a Jiu Jitsu family too. We totally agree that the belts are truly earned. If you are dedicated enough to get this far, you've got this. Which gym do you train at?

[beefoo]

Good luck!

[TheBelly]

I was awarded my purple belt in 2006. I haven't made the time to continue after that, other than the occasional session to 'keep sharp.' I've lost a LOT of what I used to know.

good luck tomorrow! Give 'em hell!

[Bailey Guns]

Good luck today!

[blacklabel]
