That was a blast!
2 months ago Luke, 3rd on my left offered me to come out of my Competitive retirement.
The idea grew into me and I decided at 50yrs old to go back to show the kids how its is done…only joking.
Best way to prepare is to surround yourself with a group of Respectful, Strong people.
Look for people actually Stronger than yourself, People who will highlight your qualities but more importantly your FLAWS.
I contacted many and others were recommended and here we are 5 BJJ Black Belts, 8 Purple and a seasoned Blue belt.
This morning we had and intense 1h30 sparring session, We went at it, it was physical, hard, we took No Prisoners.
I always say that you can go to party with anyone, but you only build strong bonds with the people you Train, Sweat, Fight, suffer with.
We have started something today.
It was a blast, lots of Testosterone in the room but EQUAL AMOUNT OF RESPECT.
Fighting is not always winning. You either Win or Learn.
This group of ours is about that.
I learnt a lot today and did not win many…however it is clear that if you want to achieve something.
“You need to be ready to Train Hard to Fight Easy”
MASSIVE THANKS 🙏🏿to Helton (on my left) owner of Koning Fighting Academy to welcome us and make this morning sparing session possible.
I also want to congratulate him on the work he does with his students.
His 4 purple belts who attended this morning were No Jokes.
This morning was the first step towards the BJJ European Championship 2025.
Oss!
