I love Brazilian jiu jitsu and I want to train as much as I can. The only problem with that is....well... I also love my home life, and it keeps me pretty busy. I write this blog as I struggle to balance both... I have my health, an awesome woman, a healthy baby girl and another on the way and I get to train BJJ 3 times a week... I'll try not to screw this up...

"Killers"
The talent runs pretty deep here..
This pic is from the Saturday class at Breaking Point MMA (Dan Hale BJJ). We had a lot of high level guys from around the GTA drive out to Burlington to roll. The session went 2 1/2 hours. Awesome time... I think everyone enjoyed it.
Thanks Dan, it was awesome

Measuring Your Progress Against Teammates
I read an interesting post from Jackjitsu over on Jiu Jitsu Forums..
He explains progress between teammates as two intersecting sinewaves that ramp up together. Both of you plateau at different times, and peak at different times.
I love this example/analogue as it sums up those times when I easily tap out my teammate one week, only to be smashed the next week.
I think the moral of what jack was trying to say is that regardless of the short term "ups and downs", when you look at it on a longer timeline it is easy to see the upward trend of both of you.
