I'll compete against you. That would be fun.

I am bigger but older I am always willing to roll NOT fight as we are just cuddling after all. I am doing 2 shows the weekend in Jersey but I am pretty open after that

what a fun reason to visit exotic Finland!

What are the chances you could get out to North Carolina for this event? https://www.opensourcebjj[...]e-for-good

Well it does land on my days off so I could actually make it, but realistically, 4 days isn't enough time for a 15hr drive each way. I'd have to fly to make it home in time for my Son's shoulder surgery on Monday. Dang! We should have had this conversation a couple of weeks ago.

Absolutely. I just mentioned it to my wife hoping for a, “That’s awesome! You should go!”, but not so much. Lol

I've been thinking about coming to Grappalachia. So many fantastic reviews from participants. Maybe then...

Here's the deal: I'm one match away from unlocking that much-sought-after beltchecker achievement of 100 competition matches. In fact, I'm not far away from unlocking all achievements on here, but this is one huge milestone that I'd like to surpass in style. This might be a long shot, but does anyone want to do a competition match with me? I'm open to competing almost anywhere in the world, against someone of my demographic/level, i.e. 40-something y.o. black belt, ~170lbs (~77kg). I'm open to grappling (no striking) in almost any rule set. As you can see from my beltchecker record, I compete in gi, no-gi, judo, sub-only, etc. I have not included any of my wrestling results here on beltchecker, but I'd be open to something like that as well. OK, let's see where this goes...

I’d gladly hand you another L my friend

I'll face you if he doesn't sometime if you want to face a purple belt lol.

I'm 40 and I identify as 75 kg... Does that count...
