I’m putting the last competition behind me and looking to the next one.
It’s pretty close.
On the off chance that there are any foreigners in Kyushu who are interested in entering but can’t find the details online, here they are.
Unfortunately you need to be a member of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation of Japan to enter.

I was competing in last year’s Copa South. I looked at these old videos, and I feel that I have come a long way.
In the first fight, I could feel that I was much stronger than my opponent but lacked the confidence and maybe the finishing skill to go for the finish. I should have [...]

I want to compete in March.
I want to compete, and I want to win.
It’s far away (an hour and a half drive, I think), and it’s already a quarter of the way through the year, so I have to start my winning ways.
I don’t want to come home without a medal.

First blue belt competition. I knew I’d lose, but just wanted to guage the waters.
