rockybalbooty Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hi everyone! I'm part of the Rising Heroes program and I'm following the 4 week challenges too. I love finding like-minded people for encouragement, inspiration, resources, ideas and humor! I'm 44 and run an MMA and fitness gym. I've been boxing and practicing Muay Thai for years, and I'm a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu. I lift and do conditioning too with the goals of cross training and aging with strength and grace. As for leveling up.... I have too many directions I want to go, gotta narrow it down! I look forward to getting to know others here! 3 Quote Link to comment

Do you happen to be one of those overqualified blue belts as well?

I heard about this black belt who was pissed because he was tapped-out by a blue belt (who turned out to be Chris Weidman). Anyway, the stats are from an RPG system for the challenges we used sometime back. Some people still utilize it. (Haven't updated mine.)

We don't necessarily call it sandbagging here. Our professor only promotes once a year. He like promoting late, thinking it's better to be an honest sandbagger than a self-promoted charlatan. 1 Quote Valar Morghulis Halfling Monk, Chaotic Neutral Machete's Blog: Inside A Mad Mind Third World Warrior: The Eight-Year Training Log Link to comment
