RE: When you try your best but you don't succeed... My first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament experience.
@alexander.alexis Really? I have to say I am surprised, since English is my second language (first is Spanish) and I am still learning.
Yes, I do have a bit of a perfectionist vein in me which can be both a blessing and a curse. I think that is part of what makes BJJ so fascinating and addictive for me: it is so complex and detailed that it is very hard to get things right, and I just want to stop being bad at it as soon as possible! He he...
You should try it! I cannot recommend it enough. Even though it requires patience and can be very frustrating at times, it is incredibly rewarding (and guaranteed to get you in great shape in a short time). Socially BJJ is also very good, the bond you create with your teammates is a very special one, and for some reason people who do BJJ tend to be cooler than average ;-)
