Happy New Year!!!!! Welcome 2010!

I hope everyone had a Happy and Safe New Year!  I spent the evening with my family from the gym.  Great way to bring in the New Year.  I am already thinking about the goals that I want to achieve as far as my Brazilian JiuJitsu career.  The list seems never ending, just like jiujitsu, the amount of techniques you can learn and the knowledge of the art is never ending.  Just a year ago, I was here training at Lloyd Irvin‘s Mixed Martial Arts for the first time.  I was also only here for a 2 week vacation.  Shortly after I realized that this is where the champions are made, and if I ever planned on being the best, this is where I need to be!  One year later, I am an employee as well as a student under Master Lloyd and things couldn’t be better.  I just can’t believe how fast time flies!  World’s is only 6 months away, and it will be here in no time.  And in this year of being here at Camp Springs, people asked me if I have improved, why haven’t I been promoted?  I just simply explain to them that when it’s my time to be promoted, I will.  But the next belt(purple) is not what I am focused on.  It’s the Black Belt, that is the ultimate goal and everything else that happens along the way, the belts that I earn are just minor bumps along the way.  Not only do I want to get my Black Belt, but I want to win, I want to be the best at the Black Belt level and beat all of the known females.  As far as improvement, of course!  I still have so much to learn, but in the short amount of time that I have been here, I have improved so much….on and off the mats.  I can never say it enough, JiuJitsu saved my life.

Do you have a list of goals for 2010? Whether it be BJJ, MMA, your job or anything.  Are you trying to eat better, change your diet?  Making a list of goals is a good thing, because a goal is not a goal until you write it down.  Other than that, it’s just an idea.  If you haven’t already started one, it’s never too late.

Have a Great Year, keep up the hard training! Don’t forget to write your goals down!
