Welcome

Welcome to White2Black. I started this blog as a white belt and am doing my best to keep it going through black belt. I will try and capture the best of Bjj, and I will give you a look inside my crazy mind. This blog will not be perfect, but it will convey my BJJ journey to you. I compete often so I will make sure I give you guys a piece of that as well. I am currently a Blue belt, I have competed at Pans, Worlds, and many other IBJJF tournaments, as well as local Naga, and smaller tournaments.

Quick note!

Alright guys, just a short and sweet one here. Tonight since I work late I will only be able to make it to the competition class!! :*( But I will still let you guys know how it goes. Usually the competition class is trained in with gi, BUT with ADCC coming up (This ADCC tourney is no-gi only) we will start training in no gi until after the competition is over.  Also , not all white belts compete as much as  I do. I have competed in 5 tournaments so far in my short jiu jitsu career, and placed in 3 /5....and each time I place I have taken 1st. The problem i was having with not placing was being gassed. Rest is super important and diet is as well. I dont have the diet down yet, but I sleep 9-10 hours every night for 2-3 nights leading up to my tournaments. It makes the world of difference. Also I'm gonna start combating my pre-match nerves by listening to IPOD right up until my matches. Sorry this was alot more than I wanted to put up here. Also, going to the gym( the weight lifting gym)...but not to lift weights hehe. Gonna go roll around on the few mats that they have. I look like an idiot but it helps me with balance and flow drills!!!
