So, I did find a place to roll on Friday :-) The Woodland's gym instructor had a bit of free time so we got in a couple hours of rolling, super fun

Did you pass on my details to your coworker? :P

We should discuss BJJ sometimes, maybe share a trick or two!

[capitulate]

Mind you, all I've been adding recently has come from Saulo's BJJ Revolution Set... it's added a certain amount of finesee to my game now I feel where I use technique

I'm queen of the elbow escape. I almost never bridge and roll, I'll fake a bridge/pop my hips up a little to get them worried... just to set up the elbow escape. But, an actual bridge and roll almost never....I really should because I shouldn't rely just on one move, but I'm good at it...so I've just never forced myself to do anything else consistently.

So are you just training gi now? Or both?

[capitulate]

Sorry for long reply...

yeh, I'm trianing predominantly gi now... I love it! Gonna have to take the gi off every now and then if we get weather like we had tonight though... or maybe get a hair cut :P

how 'bout you?

[mmaquest]

Long replys rock, no worries!!

A little warm there?

It's been freezing out here... brr! Totally untexas-like.

I don't like the gi. Uggh. I'm strickly a no gi girl. All those clothes get in the way. :-)

[capitulate]

Yes, it's quite hot here! especially with my hair being long, I'm going to get it cut because it's a nightmare to train in the gi with this hair.

what's up with the gi hate going around? mind you, with summer fast approaching i am becoming more and more keen on no-gi. :)

Well, I don't think it's applicable to my climate. We get 90 degree weather about 94% of the time and 99% humidity. Everyone walks around in tee-shirts...shorts... or tee shirts and blue jeans. No one wears jackets heavy enough to bother with gi tricks and treats... it's not applicable for mma, who wears a gi in mma (other than judo guys)? If its not the way I'm planning to fight, and it's not the way I'm planning to compete, and it's not the way I dress when I'm walking around (for street self defense) why waste my time with it when I could spend my time learning things that will work for my climate, interests, and needs? Who needs a gi in Houston? What I need is a list of practical uses of chain wallets for rednecks with cowboy boots :-D
