This weekend wasn't about medals.
It was about a promise. 🥋
A year ago I stepped onto the mats. I'd already started losing weight, but jiu-jitsu is where it all came together. I realized this was never about the right size gi. It was about learning who I am under pressure, on the mats and in life.
This year I lost a good friend and brother. We always talked about testing ourselves, and he wanted to compete before his purple belt. "Let's do this together," he said. So we signed up.
At the first ever Compnet NorCal, five of us from a school barely a year old competed. All five came home with medals and lessons we'll carry forever.
Henry, this one was for you. 🤍 💙
Thank you to Professor Rich and his Rohnert Park school for hosting, and to the Compnet team for an unforgettable day.
By the end, we weren't separate schools. We were all GB family.
The version of you that grows is waiting on the other side of the thing that scares you.
Sign up.
Show up.
Find out.
My GB Brother Paul made me better! A lot of lessons learned and now to work and continue to progress
Oss 🙏
