Crappy Belt Promotion

After enduring an annual 2-week torture in the bjj dojo (includes the pain of gi-burns, running the gauntlet en route to the 2nd-degree black belt, enduring the sharpshooter lock, ankle lock, getting injured by an uncontrolled armbar, getting choked out to wonderland 5 times, getting my nose dislocated countless of times and getting a throw-type gauntlet addition for my purple belt), after applying for the next belt promotion, my maestro sent me a checklist to be accomplished in Zamboanga. What it includes? hmm..here it is:

1. Perform any Hip Throw on a person 2 times heavier than you.
-I'm 109 lbs -which means I should be able to perform a Seoinage or leveraged hip throw on a 210+ lbs. dudeDanny or Nick Ariza.

2. Perform the 36 BJJ lock and hold series.
-I can do that.

3. Survive a 20-minute, 10-person, chain match.
-I did a 30-minute, 7-person, chain match before and got choked by the second to the last man, I woke up to bright lights. This one is way harder.

4. Do a cross-training to the 3rd kyu of Judo.
-I'm 2nd kyu in Judo, I need to do this again.

5. Lead a self-defense seminar.
-I plan to do this in the Music hall. So that my friends may be able to know how to defend themselves.

But in the end, there are 91 people from the 1st kyu to the 2nd dan plus 2 Maestroes. Yes2x. It means two things: 89 people will whack me in the back as I run and at the end of my run, I'll get thrown by my 2 Maestroes. I hope I survive. Tsk.

Fedor o Aleksander?

Aleksander. Joke! Fedor. Hahaha. ikaw kasi yung tipong hindi masyadong nagwawarm-up. Pero malinis kang maglagay ng belt. Tanong ko lang, bakit sa tournament, ginagamit mo yung white belt kapag sparring? pa-humble effect? hahahahaha.Bisto el loco!

AD3 said...

Ha? malinis maglagay ng belt? natural na iyon dapat. Nakita mo ba yung bahid ng dugo sa white belt q? haha. Memorable lng yung nahimatay ako sa first gauntlet at nagka-cut ako dahil sa gi. Hindi naman ako sanay eh. Kahit ngayon, nagkakasugat pa rin ako. Pero mas kumapal balat ko dahil sa BJJ. Db judoka ka na rin? at least 1st kyu ka. Top Junior 12 below Competitor ng zamboanga hndi judoka? sinong niloloko mo?

AD3 said...

ai... 2nd kyu ka na dapat cguro. wala kasing formal promotion ang judo. so basically, since nanalo ka sa isang judo tournament, 2nd kyu ka na at least.
