This blog is my perspective on Gracie Jiujitsu. I have practiced Gracie Jiujitsu for nearly five years. My ride on the Gracie Jiujitsu wave has been a bumpy one. I want to share my growth through Gracie Jiujitsu with you, my family and friends. I guess this will be an opportunity for me to allow you into a part of my world, which has been closed for those five long years. Come on in and enjoy!!

UFC Tonight...
It’s 2:26 A.M. on Friday, December 30, 2011 and
later tonight, we will be watching another UFC Event. This one is sure to be a
barnburner with knockouts and submissions playing all through the night. Let’s
see how it turns out…
…I’ll write more later today about it. I
have some business jto adhere to first!!!!

Getting Back to Form
Now
things are getting pretty interesting. I’m trying my hardest to get back to my
training. I wonder if I’m a little reluctant or even afraid. “Nah, I doubt I’m
afraid!” Why would I be reluctant then, I wonder. If Jiujitsu is that important
to me, we must meet and dance on the battlefield once again. I need to rebuild
my muscles and stretch those joints out from three months of not being used in
the manner, which they are usually used.

Jiujitsu in America...
Last
night, I did what I do for every UFC Event. I order food, invite my closest
family and friends, and I order the fight. Well, until last night. My work
schedule was changed last minute and I had to work an event at the center. My
nephew, De Angelo, kept me informed though. He called me and kept me updated
between each fight.
Although
the Jones victory over Machida (via Guillotine) was very impressive, I believe
Frank Mir’s submission victory over Big Nog has to be the most impressive
victory of the year! Frank caught Big Nog in a Kimura and committed to it
ending up breaking Big Nog’s arm. “WOW!!!”
This
victory is proof that Jiujitsu in America by Americans has reached a new and
amazing level. Frank Mir, trained under Robert Drysdale, submitted the one man
who dominated PRIDE with his JIujitsu.
Damn,
this fight was amazing. From the pre-fight hype of Big Nog claiming the first fight
was due to his having Staph Infection. Mir cleared all excuses and rumors with
this devastating victory.
