Rolled with other white belts today during sparring. All of them had at least 1 year experience and the difference between them and me is still so great. I’m getting my ass handed to me but almost had one hard-on bearer in a headlock and another almost in an armbar but they escaped because I was just too tired.
I think I need to learn how to conserve my energy and strength and relax way more when I can. Still too tense all the time.
Loving every second of it even though I don’t stand a chance yet. I’m patient but also very eager to learn.
Also, somebody got their blue belt tonight which was awesome.
21 sept our professor from Brazil is coming over for a seminar and a few people will get their black belts.
