BJJ Lady with One Leg - Big Match #3

I am scared.
I am not ready.
I competed last year.
My wife will not let me.
I got promoted too early.
I do not trust the referees.
I need to work on my cardio.
I cannot afford to get injured.
I am not as good as those guys.
I do not want to let the team down.
I am still working on my game-plan.
Everyone will remember if I do badly.
I have not been training much recently.
I am just not in the right mindset right now.
I retired from competing once I got this belt.
I cannot get down to my weight-class that quickly.

And so the slippery slope of excuses for not competing goes.

Bar one excuse I have never heard; I only have one leg.

Here is something that will inspire you; a video of a lady with one leg competing. The match will give you a tremendous insight into guard passing. It is clear that if you go against a one-legged player, you should pass on their leg side. The general principle this match emphasizes is: pass on the side that your opponent has greatest control over.

great job, keep up girl

[xMazingerZ]

Bel exemple de courage quand même mais cette fille est définitivement trop désavantagée car elle n'a qu'une jambe. Son adversaire peut l'attaquer du côté où elle n'a pas de jambes sans trop de problèmes.

@xMazingerZ I disagree! the girl from ipanema got to me in such a way that I cried ! this song was SPOT ON !

[DrAndreiPopescu]

jesus fucking christ ! I watched this video 5 times in a row and couldn't stop wheeping ! this stuff really got to me, it's beyond inspiring !

now all you bjj haters out there: show me another martial art/fighting style where you are likely to see something as beautiful as that !!!

BJJ is not good, it's not great, it's not effective. IT'S THE BEST !
