Business as usual

Meerkat is back from holiday, refreshed and ready for action. Or so one thought until I embarked on my first BJJ training after a two week absence. Boy! all that Greek food and lazing on the beach must have killed my fitness cos I was wasted after just one spar. The ankle and elbow is still niggling though and I was heavily strapped with neoprene.

Mrs Meerkat's pregnancy is in full swing. 20 weeks old and still growing. Things are fine for me to continue my usual training at present, but I can't help wondering how much of an impact a baby will be and how much training I will be able to do after she is born. I see a lot of jujitsuka who take a long break or only start training because their kids have now grown up and they have some time on their hands. I would prefer to continue as I am but know this is not practical.
So, Meerkat will simply have to play it by ear and see how it goes. Until then however, it's business as usual.

And that business will climax with a much anticipated visit by BJJ black belt David Adiv - top instructor under Royler Gracie and the man who's name we wear on our BJJ kimonos. A seminar in July has been planned and I cannot wait for it to happen. It would make a nice birthday present and a good way to forget that Meerkat will nearer 40 than 30 years old. Boo hoo!
