at the price of learning. I feel like there are times I get into decent positions but then I just dont know or remember what to do. So then I just kind of let the more experienced guy make first move then I use the Ribiero survival techniques as long as I can. I feel like Im generally able to survive pretty well.

If nothing else open mat is a great fucking workout.

Do you regularly see the same guys on Friday? Do you try to partner with the same guys or switch it up?

I was wondering about that. I havent seen anyone promoted to anything yet. How does that happen? Did he just call the guy up in front of everyone or is this done more off to the side? Did he get a stripe or anything? Yea theres a couple young kids I see come almost everyday and tehy do the doubles on Monday and Thursday (waiting 2 hours between classes lol)

One dude I think works part time and another is a girl who I think is a student at NYU. But yea I work close enough that I should be able to go everyday if I could take Fun 2.
