Excited to have earned my purple belt (1st out 4 degrees) in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu today. Not so proud of the fact that it took me six weeks and four attempts to do so, after what amounted to four ass wiping’s by a damn 17 year old kid who weighs 80 pounds less than I do. But he’s a 3rd degree brown belt which is like driving a Porsche while I’m in a Kia. Anyway, his grip slipped today on an armbar and showed me to get a rear choke hold on the little bastard and immediately knew I had my belt. Even though he could destroy me, it was quite satisfying to see the blood rush out of his pimple face before he tapped. Getting old sucks.

Is this you?

Well congratulations Forty! One of the best things in life is that sort of competion. Getting a good omaplata or double armbar or rear naked is about as good as it gets.
