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.

Complete dissapointment

As I hear our flight is delayed, all I can do is giggle, who cares I still get to leave it all out on the mat tomorrow! I am hungry , I have been cutting weight for this tournament for 2 weeks and have been good for the most part all week. I decide to indulge in a turkey sandwich , followed by a delicious yogurt parfait with some nasty granola on it hehe. Dont get me wrong I LOVE granola. Anyway, I hear the man at the service counter come on barking about how the delay went from 2 hours and 25 minutes down to 2 hours. .No biggie, I decide to start watching a movie, but get fidgety with anticipation for tomorrows combat. The man comes back over the speaker, maybe the flight is going to be here sooner than expected again, YAY!!! His words read like this.....The flight to Chicago has been canceled....AWESOME. So we are gonna get on the next flight.....sadly it starts out being the next day at 545 pm .....then it moves till Wednesday...either way neither of these put me in Chicago by 9. I try and find a solution, I wanna drive there, we wont make it in time.....disappointment. As I feel myself fall through the floor, I pick myself back up, I have teammates competing tomorrow at a local tournament, I will be there. I may not be going to war tomorrow but my teammates will, and i will be there to coach them. OSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Sometimes we end up on foreign battlefields fighting different battles, we fight, we prevail. TEAM ALVAREZ BJJ
