Grappling with Grappling: 2022 and Done!

While lots of 2022 was lost in a much too much work and some grim other stuff involving people I love, my grappling adventures remained a source of compelling challenge, frustration and joy. 

I had three goals at BJJ in 2022. They were:

    * Attend 150 classes

    * Win my first fight at purple belt

    * Make the improvements to be considered for brown belt in 2023

And I managed all of them.

I was a late starter at martial arts. I didn't discover it until my early thirties. But I'm delighted that I did. It's been a constant journey of self-knowledge and self-improvement in all sorts of ways. And it's why I'll keep doing it in some form until my body will no longer wear it. 

In 2023, I'm also applying the discipline I invested in BJJ in 2022 to restart my playwrighting work. If I can find the time to train, roll and spar with skilled people in their twenties and thirties, I can also find the discipline to create time to do something I enjoy and I'm good at. 

Anyway, there'll be a new play by the end of June. Just saying...
