|Challenge #1|
Doing Gi BJJ at Brasa Leuven and under Wim Deputter is bringing me a lot of benefit.
Like the concepts of
- controlling inside space
- not falling over
- controlling rotation
- position before submission
But there is a small downside.
I'm no longer punching when close range. Because in GI BJJ you only fight for grips and under or overhooks.
So my challenge apart from getting better at grappling is mixing strikes back in.
|Challenge #2|
Another challenge is a bit more personal.
I'm at a stage where I'm not that assertive.
I want to learn, but I have many reasons why I don't want to slug it out.
I'm no longer a white belt.
I have suffered many injuries (broken both feet, dislocated a shoulder, whiplashes)
I am not someone who's comfortable being in the spotlight.
I am not that great with controlled aggression.
So I need to learn to push more. Putting pressure in a controlled fashion and feeling ok about it. Instead of getting overwhelmed and only moving away.
