There is a great post by Roy Harris on the MMA Underground Forum. It's titled "For Blue and Purple Belts...".
Roy talks about different body types and the need appropriate techniques. About efficiency and effectiveness, and what a BJJ student should focus on at different levels.

... for the GTA comp on Sunday.
Not sure why. So often I've said: No more competitions... and: I hate grappling comps. But then why do I keep doing it? Well, one reason is that a bunch of guys from our school are going, some for the first time. If I go along to cheer them on, I may as well compete.
But I dunno what's wrong with me. I didn't just enter the geriatric female blue belt division for a cameo appearance (it should attract one or two entries), I actually entered the open coloured belt division as well. That will have several good purple belt ladies on top of several good blue belt ladies. I'm doomed!! Haha, seemed like a good idea to enter, but I suspect it'll be a smash-fest at my expense. Still, somehow that doesn't bother me this time. If I can do better than come last in a division of better, younger women, I will be happy.
I'll tell you Sunday night if it really was a good idea ;-)
