Tough day of competition for our team at @wojiujitsu yesterday. Most of us had to fight above our weight class but we managed to pull off a few wins! Huge shoutout to all my teammates and coach @e_wunder_bread
After several setbacks and injuries I finally earned my blue belt last night! Thank you Professor Eddie @e_wunder_bread and all of my training partners who’ve helped me over these years. I’m truly humbled and honored at this achievement.
Competed in my first Jiu Jitsu comp this weekend and man am I feeling it today 🤕 but I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The skill and sportsmanship displayed by my opponents were top notch, you gentlemen have my utmost respect. A huge shoutout to my awesome coach Eddie @e_wunder_bread and teammates Rock and @stephenhargett . Thank you to everyone else that came out to support us, it meant the world to me 👊🏼
“Soldiers, Sailors and Airman of the allied expeditionary force:
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, towards which we have striven these many months.
The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.
In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in the free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.”
