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.

T minus 6 days

I haven't written an update in forever and I feel that my BJJ game has taken such a turn that I cannot possibly explain the growth I have experienced thus far. Next week holds the single biggest tournament of my life. I have competed at many tournaments, I even took 3rd at Pan Ams as a white....but now I am ready to compete at 2011 Worlds. This is no Naga, or Grappler's Quest...this is the real deal. World Cup, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, BJJ WORLDS!!! Get it? I am more ready than I have ever been, 50 people stand between me and my gold. I am going to go hard...harder than I ever have before. Anyway, I am about  5 pounds heavy, but have been working that out. Shouldnt present much of a problem come next week. Anyone who cuts weight knows that you do what you have to do to make it. I've been training 6 days a week for a few weeks now, getting on the mat at any and every oppourtunity. Ah well, today is an off day , tomorrow back to the mats.
