James gave me the school patch to put on my gi. I asked him at least twice if my gi would pass IBJJF muster. I feel good about the top, but the pants come a ways up on my ankles. The problem with longer pants is being able to keep them on my waist. I need A3 pants and an A2 (or even A1 waist). Terrible plight, being long and lean.
I think I made it to side-control on non-fresh white belts twice last week. Modest progress. A couple of guys said that I had strong hooks in back-mount, which is great if I ever get there on someone. :)
Attended five classes, which is right where I wanted to be. Body feels pretty good. Hard to get in 4 lifting sessions a week with five BJJ classes. Hmpf.

Always take at least one extra gi to a comp, just in case they nitpick something.
Great idea... I was hoping there would be vendors there so I can try on gis. Not smart to compete in a brand new gi, but I'm not totally opposed to it either. :)
