Dear hugfriends, we gather here today to commemorate the cool belt that a good poster has suddenly left behind, and we wish them the best in their sudden ventures into browner pastures. Goongrats!  :mummyface:

Thanks all.

What a weird journey this is. Sometimes it feels like I do these classes and all that happens is that everyone else gets a bit worse

Congrats and welcome to the club! :mummyface:

Although that might not cure your impostor syndrome, lol. I remember how impossibly good brown belts felt when I started, and even though rationally I know that my gym isn't generous with promotions, I sometimes find myself thinking "there's no way I'm *that* good now, is there?" Then some white belts complain about not being able to do anything to me when we roll and I'm reminded that it's hard to evaluate your own performance.

Tournament stuff

I've said it before, but in-house tournaments are some of the most fun you can have in this sport. Playing around with different rulesets is also very cool.

Way more fun than a tournament!

I think it gives all the guys a moment to think about what they need work on.

Congrats on the brown!

I have a few Jiu Jitsu things coming up that I'm nervous about. Will be doing the BJJ Globetrotters Maine camp from May 26 to June 2. Then signed up to compete in a no gi tournament on June 15. Then doing a Gi tournament followed by a no-gi tournament the next day at the end of the month.

Honestly haven't been doing well mentally lately so not sure how things will go!
