Hey! I came across your page prior to starting my JJ journey mid August. Your videos are very helpful and full of useful information. I got my first strip today!!! Just like you said, keep showing up and keep rolling. Thank you ❤
So glad you are back! I just started BJJ in July and your videos really helped me take the leap (in addition to my hubby doing BJJ). Keep making videos!
Oh my gosh yay that's so awesome! Thank you so much for watching - I'm super excited to make videos consistently again :D How's training going so far?!
@@kimberlykinch you are so sweet to ask! Training is going great! We have a womens class twice a week at my gym with good numbers, and the other classes have good show as well. I just signed up for my first competition in two weeks just to get a feel for it. My gym has been great from a female coming into the sport perspective! If you are ever in Texas come check us out! North South Jiu Jitsu!
@@kieragann3580ah good luck!! That’s amazing! I actually do go town to Texas once in a while towards the Houston area. Is your school anywhere near there?? 😅
Glad you're back. FTI Rener Gracie had a back surgery that kept him off mats 10 months. He said he watched and studied others and particularly his older brother, Ryron and came back even stronger.
Jiu jitsu WILL always be there. I've had the most difficult year of my life, and jiu jitsu has always been this really difficult thing to manage throughout all these life changes. I have found that it has helped me more than anything else when I can get to training, but between multiple house moves (all across the country as well as travelling), switching gyms, money troubles, injuries, insane work schedules, it's been really hard to get on the mats, and I've beat myself up a lot for not being able to train for periods. A good friend said that Jiu Jitsu will always be there, and she was right. I've completely let go of any expectation for 'linear' training as you said, and am just embracing the journey with gratitude for every session, every new training partner, and myself for continuing to just show up, whether I've had a break or not.
Sorry to hear you’ve had such a tough year 🥹 But it’s interesting how one of things that we know can help us the most is the toughest thing to commit to sometimes! But it’s really amazing that you continue to train when you can and just appreciating each session 🫶🏻
