FRIDAY, 31 JULY 2026

Today was a training day for me, Jason, Sam, Chad, and Justin.  I headbutted Chad in the mouth...yes, on accident...and still have a forehead knot on Monday, 3 August.  

SAM'S RECAP:

Recap- my journalistic integrity was challenged today and i was put on notice by “the management” prof. So I will try to shoot you straight in the recap today as always. Takeaways, Howard is a menace and is yet another “pressure” guy we have added to the fold. One look at him rolling today made me abandon my butterfly guard approach and I hung on for my life for the five minutes we spent together during our roll. Jason did mean things to both my arms and legs and gave me his blessing on dropping all of my weight on his coworker Charlie the next time we roll.  I won’t comment on my rolls with prof due to the disclaimer at the beginning of the post. We will just say that we have a difference of opinion on wording. I do want to comment on what is not debatable and that is me witnessing first hand prof striking his second uke on the mat. This time the victim was Chad and if Chad had been standing upright at the time, he would have undoubtedly started doing the chicken dance due to the force he was struck by. Two makes it a trend… all and all another good day of BJJ.

I forgot to mention prof also violently slammed my head into a heavy bag.

KRIS' REPLY:

Do unto Sam as he was going to do unto me, but I did it first .

FRIDAY, 24 JULY 2026

Today was a training session with me,Jason, Sam, and Chad.  

Sam's Recap:

Recap- Chad has no AC currently. Chad and Jason sat and talked like two old ladies while Prof and I rolled. Then Jason (old lady #2) put his tea cup down as if bothered that he had to quit talking to Chad and embarrassed me with a wrist lock and then went back to talking to Chad about a split zone and other AC related things. Chad dropped weight on me and had his way for most of the roll time we had. I forgot my socks. Prof performed dark arts on Jason’s leg and I also suffered under his onslaught. We had no music which tells me Jason’s “Wham” playlist wasn’t available. I apparently have forgotten how to drop weight or “gotten lighter” which is code for sucking at dropping weight. Did I miss anything?
