I'm writing today about my little journey I'm going to take in the next 11wks. I've entered the Australian Nationals Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Submission tournament in Melbourne Australia September 8th 2007 (white belt division of course!:-).
I've been doing BJJ for about 6ish months and LOVING it!! For those that don't know anything about BJJ, it's a submission grappling sport that is very technical and strategic, you can win by submission via choke, arm/leg lock etc.. and it has a point system.
Basically you are trying to submit your opponent via putting his limb in a very uncomfortable position where he wants to "tap out" or you can choke him out!
Now I've decided to do this tournament, I'm a little nervous and fearful. I know it's just my mind playing tricks on me however never the less the mind is the most powerful muscle we have and it will CREATE YOU or it will break you!, So ultimately the choice is "ours"!!
This will be the first of many posts, some I'll put here and others I'll put on my Fitness Blog. Just to finish off this post, for the first time in a LONG time (4ish yrs) I feel ready to be competitive again, I "think" at this stage that's what scares me a little putting my heart and soul into sport again! However in writing that with the support of Tracey, the kids and of course Mum, I know I won't become to selfish!
Much love to you all,
