One Year of training in the books and this is what I think of Jiu Jitsu so far.

[Aikijiujitsu]

I been training in traditional jiujitsu for about 7 years now, when i started coming across some mma guys they kinda looked at me like my art was a joke so i associated that with bjj and was resentful. I eventually earned my respect thru sparring and rolling I came across a few guys from lotus bjj in Astoria Queens and was amazed at how humble they were. That along with reading Eddies books made me realize theres so much more to jiu jitsu than the stand up game. I used to be real stubborn about learning ground techniques even when we crossed trained with wrestlers and judo guys all i cared about was getting to my feet now i enjoy going for subs.

Rock out on the year. I personally have trouble estimating my time training due to several injuries ive had to to small breaks for but its right around a year of actual mat time. Can't wait to train with you again bro and see how much we've evolved.

Yea I hear you i missed a month of training myself do to sickness. Im sure you have evolved way better than me. I only do good when i can get people in my guard. Got to be a way to pull guard everytime. harder to pull guard when you start off on knees and thats where we start usually.

I started having trouble getting good guys in my guard, they will start with a knee up or something. Pull deep half to ministomp to lockdown and then work a deep ass lockdown. I didn't even start using that Eddie seminar the way I should have been until just recently. Sometimes it just takes time to click from what I've found out. Your rubberguard was tight and controlling as shit back in June though man, you just needed to fight the right fight to make your life easier.
