Dear Reader. What a weekend. First a major shout out to @paragonbjjacademy @paragonacademy and every single person I've rolled with and has coached me. You're all a part of me. I won first place in my first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition at #sjjifworldchampionship Granted, I had one competitor in my division, but we both showed up ready, we completed, I score 6 to 0 points, he tapped out, and we ended as new friends. Of the many reasons to practice Jiu-Jitsu, the evolution of friendships is a major benefit, if not the best. I weighed at 216, another benefit. And my daughters being proud of daddy takes the prize. #sjjif #sjjifworldchampionship #sjjifworlds #paragonbjjacademy #paragonbjj #jiujitsuparents #jiujitsulifestyle #followthelove #Iamaprofessionalparent #professionalparent #betrainable #moroloans (at Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpi8iIpFRIBF644PgE-_CByUDSVBkRCjPK7qeo0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dozw3w575wx4
