Belt Promotion in Traditional Jiu Jitsu

So, as well as doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I also train in traditional Jiu Jitsu, as our BJJ Purple belt is my black belt instructor. I find the stand up in this really helps my standup game in BJJ as most BJJ white belts don't have a stand up game apart from a half-assed attempt to jump guard.

Anyway, This week I got my first coloured belt in Jiu Jitsu, grading was probably one of the most physically demanding things I've done in a long time, probably as hard as the first time I rolled in BJJ, there was a lot of drilling and a lot of throwing and being thrown. Anyway, it's a long way away from black but I'm heading in the right direction!

More reviews coming soon!
