What Happens When You Don’t Tap

November 4, 2017

Unfortunately, I’m taking a month off from jiu jitsu. Between empty pocket syndrome and a lack of time, November is gonna be a month away from the mats. At class last night, I brought my camera (as I’ve been known to do) and decided to shoot the last two rolls of the class.

As it happens, Kevin and Haley are going to be moving the gym to a new location in the next month or two. So that may have been the last time I rolled on those mats.

It’s hard to fathom how much time I’ve logged in there.

During the last roll, I saw Masai and Will going at it with Kevin coaching Will on escaping the Bow/Arrow choke.

Let’s just say that Will didn’t want to disappoint Kevin by tapping too early.

Caitlyn and I were invited by her sister to check out The Broad in LA today. Since our friends Charles and Marianne live nearby, we decided to grab breakfast with them beforehand. Turned out that Miguel and Jen were free too. We ate at a place called Forage right on Sunset Blvd. Pretty tasty. Afterwards, we […]
