6 y/o got promoted to gray/white "belt" in no gi this past week. At the end of class, The professor gave all the other kids 30 sec each one by one to try and take him down and then promoted him after. It was a big surprise to him and we all had a blast.

Still rolling, though not as much due to lots of work, kids activities, etc.
That and I got a nice sprained thumb while rolling last week. At least it's not on my dominant side!

Yeah, I started training again at a different school / association and it's a very 'young' school with mostly white/blue and most of the guys in physical jobs. So it's a tough place (with nice folks).

I'm 4 weeks in and have been doing 3 classes per week and I'm feeling the pain of being the 'old guy' on the mats.

After 8 weeks off due to injury and 2 weeks off due to work, I finally get to return fully to class today! Chomping at the bit here.

Haven't been able to train much since June due to a new job, but I did get promoted to Brown Belt this weekend.

Hope everyone's training is going well!

My phone reminded me I got my blue belt a year ago last month and I had to stop rolling not long afterward because the arthritis in my shoulder is so bad. I'm still hoping to get surgery before the end of the year but my wife has to have ankle surgery the first week in November due to a partially torn ligament. I don't plan on scheduling that surgery until we know how long her surgery is going to impact her mobility since it's her right ankle and she won't be able to drive for a while. I just don't think it's smart to have that on the books when it's her right ankle and my right arm that will be impacted.

Sorry for the pity party, I just miss getting to roll.

I've had to work nearly every day since May and have probably only trained 5 times. Add in a baby that turned six months this week and I really suck now.

We about to be through with this turn so I can get some steady training this fall.

I'm not a huge sports fan, so I had to look him up. Any professional athlete with the nickname of "Thor" is going to be a problem on the mats once he figures this out...Good luck.

You definitely meet some interesting characters along the journey.

Well boys, I levelled up this past weekend. I thought it MIGHT be coming but it still shocked me when I heard my name called.

According to all the legends that I've heard, I can now get statues pregnant and I never have to show up on time again...

Now I have work to do.

Trained for the first time In a long time last night. Was hoping to get in some casual open mat rounds but forgot that Friday night is a comp class now and enjoyed 30 min of hell rounds. One of my partners didnt get the memo about my six month semi hiatus and wanted all of the sauce. First ten min was good, second was bad, and by the third I was a dead fish doing my best not to puke.

Are you ok? They look like they're whoopin' your ace. Kind of dirty of them to gang up, though.
