Everyone knows that with a New Year comes New Years Resolutions. Everyone also knows that most people will never actually do what they said they would do or even set any. I was the girl in the later group, never setting any resolutions simply because I knew I wouldn't follow through with them. Welps, I have decided to be different this year... zomg!
- Attend all classes Monday through Friday and Sunday afternoon. These classes are mostly BJJ (good), about 3 hours of MMA a week, an hour of takedowns and an hour and a half of Judo! This also includes 4 hours of open mat which is absolutely aweeeesome.
- Eat healthier. I started today with an egg for breakfast and tunafish with apple slices for lunch which makes me very hungry at the moment.
- Compete in all tournaments possible. Now, there are 4 Grappler's Quest events in New Jersey, each roughly 3 hours away. There is a NAGA in Rhode Island and a Submission Only in Rochester. I really really want to compete in all of these events.
- Work on my strength and conditioning. I have a gym membership which has seldom been used lately. I need to change that.
- Save as much cash as possible. So this isn't fighting related... POOP!
On that note, I was also promoted again a couple weeks ago. I'm now a two stripe white belt. I have high hopes of being a blue belt by the end of 2010. Wish me luck! :)

Big update to match my big achievements!
It's been a LONG time since I updated my blog. I've been lazy when it comes to writing stuff down like I used but that's partially because I started a new job and have less free time. I've still been training almost everyday and if not at least 5 or 6 times a week. Since I last updated this is what has happened...
- I was promoted and given my yellow belt (or a stripe for those of you who are familiar with those)
- I attended Grappler's Quest in Lancaster, PA this past weekend and placed 3rd in no gi and 4th in gi
Not much to say about being promoted, just that I was super excited! :)
Grappler's Quest was an awesome experience! I didn't win the whole thing like I had wanted but I think I did extremely well considering the amount of time that I have been training and that it was my first competition. I received a medal for 3rd place in no gi and couldn't be happier about it. The first match, I was guillotined in about 2 seconds and it came on fast! Honestly, I was not expecting it all and I have realized that I have been underestimating women a lot! I didn't let the first match get to me and came back to win my second match by arm bar to place 3rd! I didn't do well in gi but it was an all around learning experience. My teammates from Tai-Kai all did awesome and it was great to compete with everyone.
I am ready to take my training to a new level.
