I'm fine with it and have learnt from each loss and know what I need to work on, but just wondering if there were any other 'habitual losers' out there like me.
Maybe we could all get together, then atleast one of our records would improve :)
Another good thing is I'm not representing 10th Planet, just a fan of the 10th Planet family and system, so no need to worry :)
I def admire u for sticking with it, at some point things will click. U never know if you end up going 7-3 in your next 10 making you 9-12, and then 10-0 in your next 10 after that to get to 19-12.
records dont matter until you are in an advanced division. IMO Just like when you go pro it starts over. Just worry about getting the experience
I've had 2 competitions and I was subbed
in the first one. My second tourney sucked because I went against My teammates and lost by points only because I pulled guard without control. Hopefully I can pull one off in April.
Hoping to hear a story from Eddie, Denny or Herzog or some killer how as a white belt they were 1 and 15 or something.
Can always hope.
I've only lost if my mind has wandered from what I am doing at that time. 15-5 here.
You're doing better than everyone who is 0-0. Props on going back for more. Don't let your spirit break.
7-8 Here all time.
records are for DJ's ;-)

Records count when doing pro-MMA or pro-boxing, but for jiu jitsu tournaments not so much. The way they bracket you is the way it is, and you could very well meet and beat the top seeded one in that bracket.
So right on bro.. Do your thing! Enter tourneys. They'll only help in whatever your goal is.
I started competing as a blue belt, and I was something like 10-10 as a blue, not too good, nothing to write home about. Just step up the training to the next level and keep pushing forward and most of all have fun :)
Cheers for all the encouragement guys. I have no interest in stopping and will compete every chance I get, I just haven't heard of a worse record yet that is all, so was just wondering :)
Jiu Jitsu is the greatest thing (besides my wife) I have found in my life, just sucks I didn't find it till 32 years of age.
Although I don't rep 10thPlanet, I love the family and look forward to feeling the love first hand at 10th San Fran in May.
Keep chasing your dreams guys. Much love.
My brother you still the best looking guy on the matts by far ive watched you roll 5 of those 9 and i can tell its just nerves
i watch your breathing change and well yep at least your 1 and 9 im 0 and 0 still just go compete have fun with it and for the love of god keep working that flexibility i see greatness in you sir
