tallgeese Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hey, win lose or draw it sounds like it was a great experience. Heck, let's face it, the actual competing percentage of BJJers is probably pretty low, not to mention stepping onto a mat of that level is pretty high speed. Who cares about the outcome, just being part of it was pretty neat. Glad you came away with some things to work on. Nice job. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoriKid Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 ps1, Better luck next time and sounds like you have a very solid fix on what went down for you. That's a big leg up on most people when they get done with a competition. I'm betting on a much improved performance next time around just from looking at your list.Just to put this out, from your own break down of the 10 things to work on. Sounds like you've gotten stuck in the "instructor" mode. It happens when you've been teaching for a while. Found it happening myself before in stand up work. Remembering to flip that mental switch is tough. Kisshu fushin, Oni te hotoke kokoro.
