I’m gonna do it. I’ve already told people and the majority have already given me disapproving or discouraging words to talk me out of it. But to me it’s no big deal, really. Come July 21st, I will compete in my first grappling tournament. I have 23 days left to train and prepare for it. This event, hosted by the North American Grappling Association (NAGA), will be held on a Saturday in Parkland, Florida, which is apparently near Fort Lauderdale. I need to do this event or else I’ll find another reason to delay it even longer. In the past, I haven’t entered NAGA because I was under-prepared or too busy with school to focus on it. Now I can focus the next 23 days to judo, jujitsu, conditioning, and so on. I’ve been a martial arts student now for 4 years and its about time I competed. Besides, it’s already on my list of goals and I intended on scratching it off, come July 21st.
So, if you happen to be a friend (heck, even an enemy) of mine, I invite you to come out to this event and watch me get down and dirty. I intend on having fun and winning. Let me know what you guys think. And yes, I know now that I have braces it will get complicated blah blah blah. I’ve already thought about that. That’s why God created a little thing called the mouthpiece. But thanks for your concern.
So whaddayasay? Wanna see me in action?
oooh, i’m there. i’ll play ‘the heckler’ hurling insults at your opponent(s). haha. awesome…
sweet! thanks for the support. i’ll try and wave while i’m wrestling.
It is saved to my iCal, my friend! Wild dogs couldn’t keep me away!!
Can I lay money on it?
Thanks Kristel! I look forward to testing your wild dog theory.
Julio, heck yes you can. I love wrestling on a mat covered in money.
YEAHH! GO dave! i believe in ya.
That’s my Naga! hahaha
Haha! I love it, Nick.
Sounds good. Stiff competition.
If you need someone to spar with let me know. I was into varsity wrestling back in highschool.
God Bless.
My boyfriend was going to compete also, but he can’t. I actually know a little about jujitso and so on. I even watch some of the fights and the show. My favorite is Rampage Jackson .lol.
Well it looks like your bf and I are on the same boat. I won’t be competing anymore due to my shoulder injury. I’ll most likely still attend though.
Rampage Jackson eh? I guess you were quite the happy fan when he beat Chuck Liddell… again.
