New Gi

I was excited the other day because I got a new gi. If you are into Jiu-Jitsu then you know the feeling I had when I came home and saw the package on the doorstep.

I got the new Koral competition light gi in black. This time I went with an A1 for the first time to try and reduce the bagginess in the chest area. I have to say that the A1 fits pretty damn nice. It feels a tad bit longer then my other Koral, but I haven't washed it yet either. I don’t really expect it to shrink very much because Korals come pre-shrunk, but I think the fabric will tighten up some. The weave on it is really cool and its pretty light as well. So far I think it’s going to be a good purchase.

So I Still Like the Triangle

Had some good rolls last class. The numbers have been smaller, but that just means more purple belts to roll with so that's ok with me. I still have been working my top game trying new passes and there seems to be some progress there. I keep finding myself in the triangle position, but now I'm using it to set up different things like the komora or the armbar. I need to really start working on high guard options because I think it will fit right into my game.
