I’m just gonna lay here on my floor for a while…

Meanwhile, I got the best complement from my coach…he asked how long I had been training because I was very technical, and I said about 5 years, and he asked if I’d taken breaks and it gave a great opportunity for me to explain I was coming back after 2 years off because of an #acl injury. But he said I was technical I love it I’m so happy!!! #bjj I have missed you so much!! I’m glad my muscles remember what they are supposed to do even if my lungs don’t!!! #aclinjury #training #recovery #ontheroadtopurplebelt (at Satori Academy of Martial Arts NJ)

Lookit that tomato face!!! 2nd BJJ class…and 1st time I’ve trained 3 times in one week….in probably a year! My muscles are doing jellyfish impression right now but it feels AWESOME!! I was unsuprisingly totally smushed during rolling, but loved it all the same!! And I got a complement on my hip movement while we did triangles, so that was exciting!! I have trouble skipping (one of our warm ups) either lacking or to afraid of the explosive power on my right leg. If anyone has any suggestions to work that, lemme know! #bjj #ontheroadtopurplebelt #acl #injury #recovery #training #triangles #hipmovement #likeasnake (at Satori Academy of Martial Arts NJ)

2 years ago, in the last week of July, I tore my ACL and my lateral and medial meniscus. After surgery, rehab, and general life bumps in the road, I am finally back to training BJJ. I never caught my breath once during the whole class but I went and it was awesome and I am so happy to be back on the mats. Purple belt, here I come!!
