Westen and I are training to compete in a jiu-jitsu tournament for the first time in over a year.
This is only my second competition while Westen has been in around a half dozen.
This is his first time competing since joining the adult class and I’m excited to see this more intense training get excercised in an elimination atmosphere.
I’m more nervous for myself as I’ve missed a week of training and I have yet to access the aggressiveness that seems so natural for me in soccer.
In both cases, we will be tested in new ways, aiming to grow before, during, and in the wake of the tournament.
