Nice Drive

Today I was really impressed at Jiu-Jitsu. All the usual hard work was happening but there were a couple of surprises.

I was really impressed with Amelia and Juan. She is rapidly approaching her Blue Belt exam, and Juan is super keen to progress. Both are pushing hard towards their goals.

Juan has asked me to help him progress through his White Belt stuff. We did this on Friday, but he's doing even more. He got the Chief Instructor to give him a real private lesson. It is nice to be an adult and be able to spend a few bucks doing this. Last year I did over a dozen private classes with Stirling. They were huge in my progress.

Anyhow, last week Juan completed two regular combatives classes out of the 69 needed to qualify for testing. He then did an extra one with me, and still another one with the Chief Instructor. If he can keep this up he'll be advancing twice as fast as anybody else.

Amelia impressed in another way. She grabbed Madeline to help her. The rest of the White Belts were working away on a single technique. Amelia and her Blue Belt worked their way through the material Amelia needs to brush up on for her coming exam. They didn't waste a single second.

Nice drive.
