Die Antwoord - I Fink U Freeky
Feb 01
the IBJJF has no transparency in the system. I very recently became a recognized IBJJF black belt which required me to fork over $60 bucks for a referee course, $90 dollars for a first aid course, and finally $400 dollars to become registered. Now I’m a part of the organization, where is there a rules committee? The board of directors? Where’s my vote? Where’s my ability to participate on issues and topics that affect the organization? So far the only thing this registration has given me is the ability to send students to tournaments under my name and stripe recognition for my black belt degrees as I receive them

From his recent post discussing the Berimbolo ban and other IBJJF rules. A must read.

“Directed by Ryan Hope, Skin is a dark, stylish examination of tattoo culture as high art, and a film that tests the boundaries of art and the human body.”

Post-IBJJF-european-open resolutions
Lost in the second round for 1 advantage. Never again. I’d rather lose 100 points down than because of one shitty advantage.
Gotta get stronger. Much stronger, but not bigger.
Gotta work on my grip. I still get cramps on my forearms after every fight.
Need to master my half guard pass. I get stuck in there too often.
Never again will I have an omoplata in place and lose it.
Strength, strength, strength!
My spider guard defense needs a shitload of work too.
Next time I’m not coming back without a medal.

Hopefully, I’ll be back on Monday with some metal strapped around my neck. Wish me luck.
