So yeah, I started this blog a year ago, posted 3 things, then totally fucked off. My bad, everybody. My excuse is that in November of last year, my father had a stroke, and now a year later, as the oldest of my siblings, I am still dealing with the fallout from that. On top of that there has been a number of other crises within my family, some medical, some not. So I have been busy. I have kept training, though, pretty consistently, as martial arts have been a sort of therapy for me. Over the course of the past 11 months, I’ve earned my purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and competed in two BJJ tournaments, which I will write about later. I’ve taken a break from competing to re-introduce Boxing and Muay Thai back into my routine, with a bonus Judo class on Thursday nights and a bonus Wrestling class on Saturdays to round everything out. The situation with my dad and his healthcare is still ongoing and tedious. I will always support and fight for my family, because that is the right thing to do. But I have resolved that I will continue with my original path of the Martial Arts, and this blog is part of it. So, I am back, and I am re-committed. Sorry to all three of my readers for the absence. 😀
