BJJ GAUNLET

By
auckland bjjThis is a controversial topic not only in New Zealand BJJ but all around the world

People either hate it or love it.

What is it?

Basically, you walk down the line while your teamates whip you with their belts.

In some club, you can run and some other would make you crawl on your fours.
One thing for sure, it hurts.

Does it make you a better person? Hell no.

Is it fun if you are not the recipient? Hell yes.

When I started training, I thought that was fun and different.

But now after participating in the gaunlet for over 20 times, it is getting old and blase.

Actually, I see people posting their whipping video in the facebook and it just makes think how silly it looks like from the outside.

The bad new is that Stu still wants to maintain this tradition.

Bad luck, boys!

    We'd have to be the first street gang ever though to call Epsom "our patch" hahaha

Linjian's journey has been unique and inspiring, starting in his 50s and culminating with this incredible achievement. As we honor Linjian's dedication, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to his training, I am reminded of a quote by Bruce Lee, who said, "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." Linjian embodies this spirit of action and determination, always pushing himself to be better and never giving up on his goals. Another great quote that comes to mind is by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Linjian's journey to this point has been long and challenging, but he has always shown that he has what it takes to succeed. His strength, d...
