All I want for X-mas is my game back.
It's been a rough 2013 for my jiujitsu game. I started out the year in shape, training 3-4x/week & competing. I made the jump from beginner to intermediate division and took a 2nd & 3rd place in my 2 comps at that level...then 6 months off because (who cares why, it happened, it sucks).
I'm now healthy again, my job and personal life are in order & am 1 month back on the mats. I feel sore but I like it, reminds me of where I was. I'm embarrassed at my lack of conditioning, flexibility, technique, and generally confused state-of-mind as my A-game is now clearly a D-minus at best. I'm 2 steps behind, 15 pounds heavy, and the climb ahead seems daunting to put it mildly.
I've been away from the board, am probably 15 MTS behind & I missed the 3rd East Coast 10P gathering (1st that I've missed, hopefully the last). The blue/white belt tournament video posted by Coach Herzog was so god damn inspiring - huge props to all the competitors! I miss the 10PFam.
I know I won't get back to where I was by Xmas but I sure as hell will be on the path & there is nothing that's going to stop me. 10P4L
