A little about me and my Jiu Jitsu


Hello!

My name is Summer and I am starting this journal to track how I am doing with my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training. I have been doing Jiu Jitsu since I was 4 years old training at Gracie Morumbi - Fabio Leopoldo in Thousand Oaks, CA.  I am now almost 8 and I have my 2nd stripe on my Yellow and Black belt . I have my first real tournament coming up in November and I am really training hard so I can do well. I am also starting Judo training today and I am very excited to learn something new and use with my Jiu Jitsu skills.

A couple of weeks ago I was in an in house tournament for our academy and came in 1st place for my division! I had a lot of fun and was very proud of myself for doing a great job. Thank you to my dad and mom for taking me to Jiu Jitsu and coaching me, Coach Mike Payson for being such a great teacher and thank you to Professor Erik Klinger for helping to calm my nerves before my match. I am very grateful for all of my professors and coaches for helping me train and making Jiu Jitsu so much fun.

Come by any time to see how things are going and look at pictures. Thank you for all of your love and support!

Love,
Summer

  3. I'm jealous of you- I was soooooo old before I started BJJ! We need more women in jiu jitsu, so keep at it. And please keep blogging!
