From Mezz0:
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu


After training really hard immediately after receiving my purple belt, and then in advance of going to Brazil, and then after Brazil, my body was hurting all over. I was experiencing chronic pain in my neck, finger, wrist, knee, and both shoulders. I was burned out. So I took it easy for a little while, and only recently have started getting back into shape.

Last week, I received an email from Leon, my original Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor. Over the course of many years, he trained his wife in the martial arts until she became a bad motherfucker. She knows wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Thai Kickboxing. If Leon wasn’t the Coronel Kurtz of martial arts, they would both have high rank, but Leon has been off the reservation for most of his martial arts career, taking in willing natives through intimidation, force of will, and moral strength, molding them into fighters until an inevitable fall out occurs from training in the equivalent of a deep Camodian jungle.

He recently moved to Michigan, and has been getting back into the training/teaching game. He wrote me the following email about his wife, Smegal:

So [Smegal] goes to the gym and im busy helping train this other dude for a fight...so she goes to train jitsu with this dude doing some grappling (he's wearing his judo blue belt - she's wearing her bjj blue belt)...she takes him down 3 times (single, double and near leg hook), passes his guard "easily", scissor sweeps him twice, and submits him with a bent up from mount...he got nothing at all...unless you count the "what the fuck is this?? look on his face"...he was about 135-145ish (not sure)...then he "had to go"...on the way out he tells bob, the owner, "she's strong"...he tells me what he said and i say "she's 105 lbs, she's not strong...it's technique"...he smiles and i laugh on the inside

she gives me the report/details later b/c i wasnt really watching it when it went down...she said she thought about giving him one so he wouldn't feel bad and then thought "nah"...

fucking hilarious...she should have put him to sleep and then done the dance of death with victory laps right?
