I should be eligible to test for my first belt this session.

Other than that, weight loss ("Not as Lean, Just as Mean, Still a Marine").

Good wishes for success and happiness to all in the new year.

I don't see this Forum as being exclusively about HIGHLAND athletics, so I think it's great that you posted this here. Besides, ecklarkb is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practicitioner..

I strongly, strongly suspect that there is a lot of crossover between the sports. For example, when I am getting ramped up for a big lift, I really try to focus. I push THROUGH the lift...not just up TO it..but THROUGH it. And this, I believe is much like what you are suppose to have in your minds eye as you attempt to break a board. Don't "punch the board"...hit THROUGH the board.

...could be wrong about that, though.
