Last night I was given the honor of a black stripe on my white belt!! I have been training at Fabio Santos' Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy for two months now.
I told him I entered the South Bay Open and he told me to start going to the advanced class as much as possible. So last night I went to my first advanced class. This class is 90 minutes rather than the 60 minutes of the beginner class. And being soo excited about training, I decided to do both classes back to back, so I trained 150 minutes straight last night!
The end of the advanced class I got my stripe! Then I went into the beginner class and didn't tap anyone! hahaha. I just need to be humble and realize I am training, learning and growing. My pride was a little hurt that I was promoted in the advanced class and then didn't "show it" in the beginner class.
But you know what, my sense of what is going on during rolling and sparring has really increased, so in that sense I think it is worth it.
Position leads to submission.
The important thing is that you get to be super close other sweaty dudes. I know how much you enjoy that! :o)
