As the title says, first bjj training session in 2 years tomorrow. I'll feel like I'm starting again and am as nervous as hell - stupid I know. I suppose having being incarcerated for that 2 year period gives me a good excuse. Maybe I can now work the jailbreaks and prison guard without retribution.

I went through a year and a half break except for showing a couple friends the basic. It'll all come back through out the first couple weeks. Dont know how much you trained before your break, but stuff you learned last might be a bit rustier than you think. Keep it simple and make sure all your fundamentals are still there.
Just like riding a bike, that breaks your limbs and puts you to sleep. Nothing to worry about

Cheers man. I did make a decent grappling dummy while I was 'away' and practised the rubber guard positions for hours every day. You're right, I'm sure it'll come back to me.

Nervous?
Was no need to be nervous, we go way back, just feels like you have been on vacation.

Master D, fancy seeing you here! I hope you're not wearing a gi while you type this It was all going well until my son went awol, killed the steady away session I'd planned and I ended up being accosted and manhandled by the bigger boys. But of course, ex cons are used to that shit. Really enjoyed the class mate, learned a lot as always and it was so good to see you both again.

It felt great Fraser while I was grappling with my son, who has been away from the mats even longer than I have, but he went for a bathroom break and I was secretly praying he'd hurry up back before someone else asked me for a roll - it was in vain and I got schooled. I seriously needed that reality check though and I really enjoyed the session. It felt like going back to my bjj home, seeing my Mom and Dad (my instructors are only a couple of decades older than me really) and getting beat up by my younger brother - it was cool.Last edited by Paul.Hannan; 05-02-2014 at 06:38 AM.

It's always good to hear of a parent taking classes with his/her kid.

It feels good to be able to legally strangle my kids Originally Posted by Royce Kim
