Gave it a shot. First time competing at IBJJF’s Masters World Championships. Placed 3rd. Watching video playbacks, I made a lot of mistakes, but I’m learning so much with every one of these opportunities that I’m blessed to still be able to even attempt.
So, I did a thing again. Decided to take a shot at ADCC US Nationals in Las Vegas over the weekend. Got there to find that since there was no one in my division, they moved me down to a lower age division, then threw me (A BLUE BELT!) in with the black belts! Pulled it off!🥇
Core unit used (engaged with ECelica), plus any two range-2 units with WoM (one engaged with ESigurd). The WoM unit with the lowest attack will strike the fortress first, so that’s the one you want to engage with ESigurd.
Finally decided to try #CapCut to create/edit some projects using footage from some of my BJJ matches. Fairly satisfied with the outcome considering this was my first attempt, but definitely see room for improvement. It was pretty fun to play with, too.
7/26/25 Rival Domains 1-turn single-core feather farming strategy. Most weeks lately she hasn’t been wanting to cooperate, but this week WEdel is going straight for the fortress. My WEdel is up for friends to use.
All in all, decent weekend!

@Darktendo_55 Still dabble in FEH, just don’t have time to figure out how to play competitively right now. Hard to quit cold turkey a nearly decade long addiction.😅
So, I did a thing today. Did someone say “National F***ing Champion!”? Masters 5/blue belt/-222 lbs. Not exactly black belt open class champ, but still feels pretty good! Signed up for the blue belt open class next, we’ll see how that goes. I’m already here, why not?
14 mats set up, tons of food and apparel tents, and still only using half of the space we’re in! And this is only one of several “halls” here at the Las Vegas Convention Center! This place is HUGE!🤯
It’s finally here. IBJJF American National Championships, in Las Vegas. I’ve got my gi division today, no-gi tomorrow. Unfortunately, these will only be streamed on the paid subscription app FloSports.
6/21/25 Rival Domains 1-turn feather farming strategy. None of the Edelgards were cooperating and attacking the intended target sitting on the fortress, so I busted out the OG feather farming team. Put my Cordelia up for friends to use in case theirs are too OP now.
