Journal Quantum Jim's Journal: Jiu-jitsu Lessons for Life 2
On a whim, I decided to enter the no-gi Kumite Classic this past weekend. I learned several valuable life lessons there:
- By not eating, you can lose up to 3.5 pounds in a day.
- It pays to be punctual; the line gets long quickly.
- Overestimating your enemy is just as bad as overestimating yourself.
- The best don't talk too much. Ironically I shouldn't be posting in my journal then.
- It hurts to lose, even when it was expected. It hurts alot.
So I lost my first and only match of the day after about 1.5-2 minutes. Hey, I couldn't tell the time - too busy grappling. That embarassment will fuel me for next year.
PS: I have four moderator points to use today. What are some interesting stories to apply my god-like powers of approval?

I don't know, I haven't seen that movie in years. However, wasn't that kickboxing or Karate instead of Jujitsu? Unfortunately Dux may not have been totally honest about his underground competition record.
