Dammit frank liked it first. How far away from us do you train again?
My gym? We were in Annapolis when I started, and now we’ve moved to Arnold. Which is awesome, as we’re only a 1.5 hour drive to Professor’s place in Sterling.

Tonight was pretty awesome. 3 members of Team Play Too Rough, a BJJ spouse, a non-jiu-jitsu person (seriously, they still make y’all?) and myself got all dolled up and went to Fogo de Chao in DC. I had a blast. I had a Caipirinha.
You guys. Seriously, you guys.
If they had mats, I’d almost never leave.
On the other hand? I”m going to be rocking the world’s guiltiest expression during warm-ups on Monday as I repent for tonight’s gastronomic sins.
But as Chris said, at least we can console ourselves with the knowledge that everything we consumed fell under the Gracie Diet. So technically, we were training.
Team Play Too Rough gets another Warrior Princess
Congratulations go out to Ike, as his wife delivers their second daughter!
I remember the night he announced the gender of their firstborn. Ike tied his blue belt, looked at everyone & says “Tonight, everyone is a 16-year old boy”.
“Having a girl, Ike?”
“Yup.”
We’ve already seen a video of baby Lani’s first takedown, so the little boys of Uruguay better beware.
Ike’s a purple belt now, and that inch of material is protecting two daughters now!
Congrats!

Running is slowly starting to not suck for me. Granted, I’m only doing interval jogging, I’m a short chubby girl, & my fastest mile is still only between 15-18 minutes, but at least I’m not gasping for air.
It seems like it’s easier when I’m not running laps in the gym, getting outpaced by my teammates. Plus, hearing music and distance updates every quarter mile seem to work for me. I still have to shake the thought that I’m going to end up as a Law & Order SVU prologue every time I run alone, but I can work on that.
Bowie’s got a pinched nerve and Chris has a mystery ankle situation (complete with shiny new cast!).
My boys are injured and I can’t make it better with an underhook.

Great article - should be mandatory reading for all BJJ guys!
A lot of good points are presented in this. Some I agree with, some I don’t, but overall, it’s worth reading to see another girl’s take on BJJ.
My favorite lies to tell on Valentines Day
1.) I’m saving myself for a Gracie.
2.) I’ve sworn myself to celibacy until I reach black belt.
3.) My boyfriend? Oh, his name’s Mat. JJ Mat. He’s Brazilian.
Couldn't resist
