An intro

[gregory_burns]

Hello,

My name is Gregory and I started grappling a few years ago at Shamrock Martial Arts here in San Jose. After a year with Frank I decided that I wanted to learn the Gi and started under Claudio Franca. Due to an injury, I had to stop training (torn ACL, MCL, "crushed" minicus) I would try to roll light, train light but doing that never allowed the knee to get any better.

Now I am finding that I really need to have a physical challenge in my life and have decided to get back into the sport I love. I wanted to intro myself to everyone and say a heartflet wassup from Norcal (408 - holla)

Welcome to the Fam Brotha! Nice to meet you! I hope your knee has made a significant recovery! Those kind of injuries can really be a hassle to deal with. Hope to see some more posts, and vids of you rockin' the system!

Thanks, Kyle. I tried out IMA for a week but the schedules don't match up, good guys over there though. I haven't have a chance to roll at GJJ yet. I have a buddy that trains there and may start attending the marathon rolls on Tuesdays. I totally need to hit up a class at 10th planet SF, though. San Jose is a BJJ hotspot, Ciao Terra, Sandro Batatta, Samir Chantre, Dave Cam, Gumby... all have schools here. :-)

Thanks, John. Regarding the knee...It feels good, is really stable and doesnt even swell anymore after a jog ;-) I can get to mission control well enough but can't get into the lotus position just yet. Its funny how not training causes you to lose the flexibility you used to have.

Again, I appreciate the welcome and hope to learn alot from everybody and add an interesting point of view when I can.
