RE: And this time, my hand was raised… My first victory in a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition.

in #martialarts7 years ago

Thanks a lot for all the support and encouragement, @flipstar! I really appreciate it.

In this post I highlighted my victory but actually in my brain what I think about the most is "crap, I lost twice, need to get much better at this!"

I will have yet another opportunity to fail even better in a little over two weeks time (this time also in no gi!), so let's see how much I can improve in the following days ;-)

Sort:  

I hope you blog about it again :-)

I can rely on the "bad focus" a bit from my poker experience. When I play a tournament and end up busting in 20th place or so I can still only focus on the fact I did not get first but still survived 1000 other people.

I think somewhere this is good as we are still hungry to imporve than as long as it is not totally discouraging.
