To get better at takedowns and develop tremendous Chutzpah! Also, I would like to develop powerful ribs that know no pain and no injury.

Actually going to class and training without getting sidetracked with renovation projects at my house. Hopefully the kitchen remodel I am almost finished with now will keep me broke enough to help me keep this resolution.

JoejitsuMD · « **Reply #20 on:** December 30, 2007, 01:14:54 AM »

To train without overdoing it so I can keep from injuring my knee again (starting training after 2 year layoff and meniscus repair 1 year ago).

HolyRoller · « **Reply #26 on:** December 30, 2007, 05:15:54 PM »

Refine the basics and not get sidetracked trying to learn fancy sh*t I see on instructionals and in high level competition footage.
Also to remember there are two Js when abbreviating Brazialian Jiujitsu.

drink less beer,get into the retarded shape i was in in highschool wrestling.choke out goatfury more often and win the worlds in the old man halfling division while maintaining my intergender title streak.

jimmyjames · « **Reply #39 on:** December 31, 2007, 11:20:24 AM »

On a macro level, my resolution is more gi, less booze. More specific goals include working on transitions and getting arm-barred less frequently by the Vogels.

I 2nd all that, and i'd like to add on figuring out how to pass the vogels' butterfly-guard. Bony jerks. Eat a cheeseburger damnit.
