Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Update My training has been going great. I have been trying to train atleast twice a week, and sometimes 3 (if I have the time, because of school and such).

I competed in the NYS Grappling Championship a few weeks ago, and I won 2 of my No-Gi matches... here is the chronology of the day

1 Gi Match: LOST by points at the end of 2 rounds.
1st No-Gi Match: LOST (via something weird as shit)
2nd No-Gi Match: WIN via Guillotine (VIDEO LINK)
3rd No-Gi Match: WIN via Straight Ankle Lock
4th No-Gi Match: LOST (to same dude as 1st No-Gi match via Americana)

End of the night: 2 for 5
Not that great, but I am OK with that. That is why I am training hard, so I can do better at the next tournament.

More videos to come later. Check out my youtube channel @ www.youtube.com/sk0tcom // sk0t @ 12:08 AM :: Comments [0] :: Digg This ::

Lately... It has been a hard couple weeks lately... I have been trying to drown myself in school and work in order to stop remembering.. but it doesn't work. I watch a TV show, and I am taken back to hell... flashing back to my 'time'... I hear songs on the radio, songs that kept me sane in a time of pure insanity... and I remember... I hear a phrase... and instantly, I am back, drowning in my fear of what tomorrow could have brought me... Its been almost 2 full years since I have been out... and still I remember.. I remember the long days, and even longer nights. I remember being alone in a place full of emptiness where they were exponentially higher on the level than me... and I remember hoping for contact that never came... I often think about the time I spent away... 148 days of unbridled horror... only to be heightened by the fact that on the outside, I was forgotten. // sk0t @ 1:30 AM :: Comments [2] :: Digg This ::
