It isn't a race. The only person (imo) that you should be comparing yourself to is you! It's HARD! I have a couple of friends in my karate class who all are around the same belt as me and I am constantly fighting the urge to compare...<br /><br />But I definitely agree that people of about the same rank have some skills they do really well...but they will have other things they don't do well...and those skills aren't going to be the same person to person, even people of the same "rank"<br /><br />Which brings me back to the original challenge: compare yourself now to yourself a month, or a year ago, not to person a or b! :)<br /><br />Easier said then done!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-59379339711980172812010-07-12T10:45:02.384-05:002010-07-12T10:45:02.384-05:00Welcome back to fried chicken and the blah blahs G...Welcome back to fried chicken and the blah blahs Georgette! :)<br /><br />Congrats on the triangle on that Huge guy! That's something I can only aspire to do!<br /><br />As to making folks fat, That is so deliciously wrong. But it's a technique that I think I'm gonna add to my "game" too! <br /><br />I'm glad to hear you put that stripe back on. You earned it!Fried Chicken Skinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14055993537611297194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-10590231856060117322010-07-12T04:13:13.563-05:002010-07-12T04:13:13.563-05:00Well done Georgette on putting that stripe back on...Well done Georgette on putting that stripe back on. Very proud of you my friend. <br /><br />As for the rank, it makes no difference. BJJ is huge and very wide and very very few schools have a linear curriculum. Within the same belt you'll have people who specialise in different things without even realising they do and when you put person A with person B in a certain situation, the outcome won't necessarily match expectations dictated by belt or stripes. Add to that soft factors such as internal dialogue, injuries, conditioning...etc. and you'll soon realise how little belt pigmentation and amount of wrap-around tape can mean (withing that confined space of 5-10 minute roll).<br /><br />I've seen many many MANY 5th graders outshine even the brightest 6th grader within a specific topic on a specific day. Well done to him/her. But does it mean anything in the grand scheme of things? Nope. The 5th grader is still a 5th grader and the 6th a 6th.<br /><br />As for triangling a 6f5' dude!! That's math I can't even do!!! Fantastico :)Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-61068639350568579962010-07-12T00:41:00.188-05:002010-07-12T00:41:00.188-05:00Yes, I did notice that fresh white stripe made it&...Yes, I did notice that fresh white stripe made it's appearance... again. Glad to see it was back. Hey, you can triangle me anytime. Besides, I couldn't get an upper hand on you at all when I was up there..<br /><br />But I did manage to do good in the tourney! Thanks for the help and advice. I suppose mentors can have a down day every now and then...but I like it when you are your regular peachy positive self!. I'll miss ya! <br /><br />I got nothing but love for ya G!suaynoreply@blogger.com
