And Good Times Were Had By All
12.08.05Well….I must say…if you ever actually get into a fight and you just happen to be going up against someone profficient in Brazilian Ju Jitsu, the best offensive stance is on your toes….sprinting in the opposite direction. Hopefully you’re faster than they are. Or if you have a gun or something just shoot em quick cuz if not…yer in fer a hertin.
Today was Unarmed Self Defense class and I just happened to team up with just such a person. A real learning experience. But sadly…I got my arse handed to me. Multiple times too. Not the coolest boast, I just calls em like I see’s em.
We learned this stuff back in Basic, but chances are…you wont use it any time soon, unless yer just one of those kinda people. I’ve never been, so everything I learned in Basic was pretty much gone by this time. But we got the recap instruction and then it all comes back to ya(sorta) while you are grappling.
Fun day….until lunch then I freakin lost my beret again…dangit. So now I have to wear my crappy one with the leather band that sticks to your head and takes off a layer of skin everytime you peel it off. Luckily enough, we wont be wearing them for too long. *hint hint* Good stuff. I’m amped right about now. I’ve been talkin with some friends in the Army and a good amount of them will be deploying right around the same time I do. So if things just work out right, I could possibly see them over there. More good stuff.
Allrighty then, lunch is over and it’s back to the pit. If I break anything, you’ll hear about it. woOt!




There’s a drill sergeant who is just ending his three year tour at Fort Jackson who loves that ju jitsu stuff. He has pitchers and everything. Check it out at www.anamericansoldier.blogspot.com. You have to scroll down a few posts but I think you can handle it.
And what is it with you and your beret? You need to stick some velcro to the top o yer head, dude.
