Luke, believe me, I aint so good...

Rugby pre season started last night...have had a couple of years away from the game, but want to get in a couple of good seasons before I hit old age (over 30!)...

I quickly came to the realisation that lifting a ****load of weight and doing lots of BJJ for 2 years, hasn't really helped my running very much, in fact, I am now officially in the slow to sluggish category!

We did a ****load of drills and what not, my legs are a bit sore today, but have been worse after a heavy squat day.

In a few weeks this will be a distant memory, but right now, am just stoked to be back in a club...I miss the whole team game idea, which you don't get so much in BJJ it would seem.

I wasn't the worst one there, not by a long shot, but I have always set high standards for myself, and know I have a lot of work to do

Have fun with rugby. Get drunk and sing some songs for me. I don't get any playing in till spring.

[seldomTap]

Hahaha...half the fun is hanging around with the rest fo the guys talking ****, singing dumbass songs and running amok...but **** I need to do some serious work before I get into that side of it!

so we aint a team huh seldom?....you cut me deep just now...you cut me deep

[seldomTap]

Bob, you emotional little man! The BJJ crowd is a team in another sense...BJJ is such an individual thing, your trainers and the guys you train with are like a team, but when it comes down to comp time, you are the only one doing it.

Team sports where there is a ball or a common goal (ie scoring, winning) have always been my thing. There is probably a reason for this psychologically, perhaps being an only child makes me want to make up for it in team sports or something.

[handjobs4dollars]

Team sports are way different. You feed off each other they play better you play better.

team sports sux

[seldomTap]

No Chris...you suck!

But seriously, it isn't for everyone. I have just always liked the team thing like that. Also I am too competetive to only have two possible BJJ comps a year, I need more constant competition. I will still do BJJ when possible, which hasn't been as often as I would like lately anyway.
