I wanted to post a competition photo, competing, until I started to look through my photos and realized anything recent (in the last year) looks like this. 8 months ago because of the choices I took off the mat, this became my indefinite position. Of course for financial reasons and the need to get my life put back together. Of course I could of stepped on those mats, and the resistance was hard but it’s important to know the difference between being, just undertrained for something and it being negative, physically, mentally and emotionally. I fight back and forth in my head about competing, for the last couple years. The saddest part is I used to love it, it used to be apart of me but something I realized as time passes and traumas process, that jiujitsu is never the issue as much as it can be the people you’re surrounded by. Easier said than done to not “let people effect you” because they will and that’s okay. And these effects they have, it isn’t a power, it’s a blessing. A sign saying “no matter what good you do to me, I’m going to treat you however I want.” And it’s truly sad to see lives that have been effected in a negative way, in the jiujitsu community by the community, not the jiujitsu. I believe healing is important before moving on and healing and building is all I’ve been doing for the last two years. I still have the fight in me, that can’t be taken, it can unfortunately just be dimmed and the only way to light it back up, is by taking that step and sparking the flame brighter 🔥🐆 Fight news coming soon… @championfit_mia @tatamifightwear @fujimatco @atosjiujitsuhq @lirabjj #tatami #teamtatami #championfit #fujimatsco #jiujitsu #trauma #processing #flame #shine #coach #athlete #champion #miami #wynwood #bjj #jiujitsu #instagood #photooftheday
