I know a guy who sells these. Apparently they never sold a one 'til the manufacturers stopped calling it the “Woody Gripper”. Do they still call it that over in the states?

I actually like it too. I probably eat it everyday, but then what other people find bland I usually tend to enjoy.

I can’t get your link to open but I googled woody gripper (uh I don’t recommend doing this for images with safe search off) and found the Iron Woody Fitness site http://www.ironwoodyfitness.com/index.html They had to have done it intentionally.

I wondered if anyone was going to call me out on that. Yeah in the haste of try on, take picture, get to lab, I didn’t look up how to tie it properly. I’ve been shown how, but I haven’t had a belt to actually tie so it didn’t stick.
Since you’re able to tell that the belt wasn’t tied correctly, I assume you’ve had one on before. Do you/have you done MAs?

I thought of that just as I sent the box off…do you need a belt or do you have one? I can bring one with me on Thursday.

We’re going to be spending this week on the feet. Coach feels as though many grapplers suck on the feet, and they intitially give up control. He kept looking at me and saying - small kids want to dictate how things go to the ground.
First we talked about how hold yourself and how to move on the feet. Then it was the double leg.
I’ve said it before, and it was reinforced yesterday, I’m not very comfortable on the feet. If he just stands there and doesn’t fight back I can execute an okay double leg.
We did the on the feet just do take downs for two minute rounds game again. I just kept getting taken down because I have no balls and would hesitate. So today after class I’m just going to drill the double leg until it’s part of me.
After class yesterday, I practiced getting out of side control, but after a little while no one wanted to roll easy and the numbers were odd so I headed out.

I bought one, and it came that day too, but thanks!
Thursday, whoa you’re here so soon. I’m feeling a bit intimidated.

Lol, I’ll update later.
On a side note, I’m over this body. It hurts, it crackles, it rarely does what I want it to. When are we going to get to the point where we can just swap them out?

Well, I can handle the communications side of that transplant…isn’t anything you’re researching going to help us with that?

No, I think it’s a BME problem.
Last night I got home at 6 (I got home and it was still day light!) so what did I do? I fell asleep, until 7 this morning. So, nothing to update for yesterday.
I got to class a little early on Monday, and stood outside talking to the blind guy. He’d just been on a business trip for two weeks, so I asked him how it went. He said it was great, he worked and went to BJJ. I asked him what other classes are like, since I’ve only been to one.
Apparently where he went (some where in Indiana) was a lot more muscle and less technique based. How do you get out of this situation? You push. That’s never the answer in our class.
I asked him what the rolling was like and he said it sucked. Why? They stuck him with the girl. He then went on a mini rant about how much it sucks to roll with the girl. I’m like, uh, hello? He then gave me one of those head patting sort of oh you’re different responses, but it still bothered me. I told him it would be nice if another girl would consistently show up. We then went in for class.
To be continued the next time I eat.

me at Age 4
age 10
with the only man that I can say raised me and treated me like a son
Master Darryl D. Khalid
its quite sad actually
I dont have any newer pics at about age 14 I left home to live on the streets and the gang life
years later I went back to his dojo which had moved by then and I had to find him,and he looked at me was hardly able to reconise me because i have both grown up and aged so horribly but after looking at his photos on the wall and looking at me and realising who I was he attacked me with hugs like you would when reunited with a lost child.
in a mall or something
I had plans of going back to him for guidance and to start off where I had left him at 14-15 and what he didnt know was I was in the middle of a very long downward spiral.
but that night I was awake all night and I was thinking.
and I was so ashamed of how this man pumped everything he knew into me and tried so hard with me because he knew my home life and him living the same hard knocks type of life he understood and wanted to make a difference.
just as he would with child he sees suffering.
it is the only thing that causes me to break down and cry,just thinking how badly I let him down.
I havent seen him since I cant face him
I have more respect for him than I do anyone ever,and I am 30 now and i plan on in couple years getting back into fighting and being a success and doing it right and facing him and finally making him proud.
I have been in martial arts both in a dojo and then after on my own for 26 years now,martial arts has been the backbone of my life no mater what i have been through its one of the few things that I have learned that has not only became what I do but what I am.
once your “into”" it long enough it becomes more of a life than a hobby,for me it did anyways
sounds cheesy but true.

Fuck man. Go see him. You don’t need to have your life in perfect order first. Just like any parent, or mentor, he won’t care what your current state is.
