New year NoGi goals

[David Rosado]

500 hours mat time and 5 comps!!!

Daaaaamn bro. I think that's like 3 hours per day, 5 days per week. Go for it!

[Kevin Hughes]

Win Gracie Nationals this month, 145, blue belt.

Compete again in the advanced division the next weekend at a local tournament here in the NW (Ground warrior).

Solidify my spot as one of the best 145's in my in my region. Next the nation! I competed once in intermediate and then 8 times in advanced or elite last year as a blue belt and won some local championships. I want to out compete and win that record.

Carry the momentum of clean eating, lots of extra training outside of jiu jitsu (strength and conditioning) and 8-10 hours of skills training a week.

Attend every seminar possible.

Spread my passion for jiu jitsu and encourage growth and dedication in the new students at our gym. I'd also like to start teaching fundamentals.

Get my first (very elusive) dead Orchard in competition.

Progress as a martial artist and as a human being, as well.

In 2015, I moved from the small town of 8,500 people in Southern Oregon to Portland. No house, job, leads, or even close friends. Just a passion for jiu jitsu and faith in myself. I now train with some of the greatest people you could ever meet at 10th Planet Portland. My game in jiu jitsu and overall outlook on life has improved ten fold since the move. I expect nothing less this year.

And, if I reach the point that I can earn my purple that'd be cool, too, but only because it's a reflection of my growth in this sport, and as a person.

Best of skill to all of you goal oriented savages!

[David Denic]

Hey guys, I'm a Gracie Barra purple belt who has just made the switch to 10th Planet Melbourne. Was always a no-gi fan and Eddie Bravo advocate, used a lot of the 10p game when rolling. My goal are to learn the 10p system and refine what i already know. Also develop a leg lock game both offensive and defensive as this is definitely a weak point. Become a finisher and go for subs a lot more. Develop my guard retention, including inversions into a leg lock game. Last but not least compete for 10p at some smaller comps.

Update:

I got second at Gracie Nationals in a 16 man bracket. I got three subs and lost in the finals. In my semifinals match, I got my first dead orchard. ✔️ The next weekend I got first at Ground Warrior and got my second dead orchard. Boom. Everything else still in progress. 👌🏻
