Open Mat Reflections – Saturday July 22, 2023

I’m wearing my favourite Gi. A Hayabusa Ultra Lightweight Stealth, colour blue. Always wearing blue.

At the All Levels class, we practiced Octopus Guard. I love this guard.

At open mat, I sparred well with a heavy white belt. He said I had good “little moves”, he said he would like to roll that way some day.

A fellow blue belt said my technique is getting good. That put a smile on my face.

Purple belt I rolled with that is a bit lighter weight than me, seemed slightly gassed after our roll. I think I did good, considering he had amazing technique.

I didn’t get submitted which is a win for me. I think I’m getting better. All signs point to YES.

Made this in Adobe Firefly
