I'm a white belt.
A 32 year old PhD student. My wife and I just started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in January, 2010, because she thought it would be a good "couples activity".
That means I'm generally a nerd, and as far as BJJ goes, I'm a total beginner!
If training doesn't kill me, I thought I'd like to have this journal to track my experience...
Wish me luck!
I did not train today. I went for to a rolling session on Sunday, and left my arm in an armbar slightly too long. Should be fine, just a little sore still.
I’ll lift tomorrow, and back to class on Thursday.
I’ve been watching tournament videos all night. I really miss practice already. I just want to be safe with this thing.

Tap early and often. In the beginning it’s particularly unsafe to try to escape or resist in the last stages of a submission because you don’t know what movements can make it worse. It’s better to tap & learn how not to get caught in the first place.
