Physiques don’t mean a lot in jiu jitsu, but I’m feeling dialed in at 3 lbs under the weight limit at 159.4 this am and ready to go for IBJJF nogi worlds on Friday. The result will be what it will be, it’s the process that matters and the people you surround yourself with, and with that I’ve already won. Thank you to everyone who has been with me on this ride. Much love. Ohana.
