10 Days til LI PRIDE
Mixed feelings about training this week. I was able to hit sweeps that I've never been able to hit before and I even got off a von flue choke. But then there are days like today where I was just so sloppy and terrible. Getting submitted by things that I really should have no business getting submitted by. It was just sloppy.
10 more days til my tournament.

This is my second tournament, but this time I'm actually motivated to perform well. I was very lackadaisical about the first one. Like, hey, why not?
This time I'm a little more scared. Scared that I might not make weight or scared that all that time I put into training will mean just another loss at a very expensive tournament.
At least I get a free shirt out of it.
I want that W, but my main goal in competing is to speed up my progress and to improve my overall grappling. I have already changed my approach to training to be more goal specific and to give myself a training objective in each class. I'm trying new things and finding out that certain things well for and certain things not so well.
I'm really hoping I get decent footage from this upcoming competition. Win or lose, I will definitely post it up.
