I know it’s only club, but I genuinely can’t wait for the first practice. I have been so bored here.

Blue belts here. My goal was blue belt by 18. I worked my gluteus maximus off and made it happen. Not really sure what to say about it. Anyways, thanks @shoreline_bjj for training me and all, I obviously wouldn't be here without y'all.

Shout out my man God🗣️🗣️✝️✝️✝️

Man I became way too fat. I’m walking around at like 195, which is about 15 pounds heavier than what I weighed in at during wrestling, so before I compete again I’m going to lose some weight.

I went 1-3, and as much as I want to blame the weight, I felt like I wasn’t too much weaker than these guys; I just didn’t show up. It sucks because I’ll be in the gym and roll really well, and I had an amazing warm up, but for these last few tournaments I’ve been losing a ton. I know I could do better, but I had been slacking at the gym and taking classes off. It gonna happen again.

Thanks to my coach Andy and amazing teammates -especially Arman, Everett, and Eli- from my gym over at @shoreline_bjj

Also thanks to my mother because she paid and filmed.

Did okay, went 4-1 and got a bronze. Somehow I got a mother's milk and an Ezekiel. @tapcancerout had probably the best run tournament I've ever been too.

Thanks first and foremost to God.
Thanks secondly to my coach Andy over at @shoreline_bjj . Thanks also to all my training partners and especially to Phil, Everett, and Zach who were actually at the competition. Big thanks also to all the competitors in the Blue Belt Lightweight Adult division, they were all killers. by @michaeltoriello

Cool day yesterday. Last night I felt like I got my butt kicked, but was happy I met Glover (wtf). Tonight, I felt like I got my butt kicked a little less, but was happy I met Glover. Not the result I was looking for, but with that said, I'm a 17 year old white belt competing with adult blue belts with like double my wins.

Huge thanks to the coach at @renzogracierockland (I think?) for the coaching. It's always so insanely helpful when I have a coach in my corner, and most of the time I have to rely on other coaches to corner me because I compete fairly far from where I live.

HUGE shoutout to all the guys at @shoreline_bjj because I wouldn't be here without them; and especially to my coach Andy; along with Kevin, @adammartinoo , @billynoorlag , @kap10kirk00 , @gavin.labrec , @shawnorourke96 , and Everett (in no particular order for all the advice on technique and help; and obviously, thanks to anyone I've rolled with, as I wouldn't get anywhere with out you.

Good matches yesterday, I went 4-1 in the 170 adult white belt division and 1-2 in the adult nogi division, but I think I only really got dominated by one guy. Felt really good cut wise, I was actually running back and forth between divisions but was only a little winded. Anyways, thank you to @kubi.jitsu for cornering me, his whole team @renzograciemilford for letting me warm up with some of them, and @shoreline_bjj for teaching all this stuff. All glory to god. by @michaeltoriello
