I have always been an enthusiastic writer–whether in my own travel journals, at work, or through dated outlets such as AsianAvenue, Xanga, or Blogspot. However, my most recent aspiration has been in the world of brazilian jiu-jitsu, thus cultivating this new blog.
Friends have asked, “Brenda, what will you write about?” and I half-jokingly respond with, “I will write about being a bjj nobody.” In actuality, most bjj practitioners are “nobodies” in the context of the bjj community. We’re life-style hobbyists, working professionals, students, parents, etc…Most of us do not train full-time. We do have a voice and perspective, though. I will write about my adventures as a part-time female practitioner– my challenges and successes in training as a significantly smaller person, weight loss and dieting, patience and control of my mental demons, and management of my work and social life.
I have just hit 3 years of training, and I have a long way to go in my adventures. Happy reading, friends!
